Here’s a value that would happily see me through Spring and right on into Summer. At just twelve bucks, this Sauv Blanc from Chile offers more than just refreshment — there’s complexity here!

Vina Casablanca 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Casablanca Valley Nimbus Estate ($12). Pretty citrus aromas and flavors, with touches of fresh grass and mineral, and a bright, crisp finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.
