    jacksonLooking for something bright and refreshing to cut through the richness of the past few days? Try a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Here are a few to look for:

    Jackson Estate 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Stich ($22). Loved this wine! Racy, aromatic citrus — tangerine, orange, lime — from start to finish, with light grassy notes that add complexity and depth. Clean, pure finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.

    Leeuwin Estate 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Margaret River Siblings ($20). Appealing balance here, with bright, juicy citrus playing off freshly cut grass and crisp apple notes. With a long, full finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.

    Pomelo 2008 Sauvignon Blanc California ($10). This one was a nice surprise, offering fragrant, crisp apple, grapefruit, peach and mineral notes that stay bright and juicy through the finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.

    Rodney Strong 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma County Charlotte’s Home ($15). Nice price on this full, fleshy Sauv Blanc, with ripe melon accented with orange rind and citrus fruit, picking up herbal notes through the finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.
