In
this issue, we present several outstanding
values on Sauvignon Blanc. This crisp,
refreshing wine is perfect for the hot
days of summer. It works well during the
cocktail hour and pairs wonderfully with
all sorts of salty, nibbly snacks and
light appetizers. It’s also a great
partner for foods like cold boiled shrimp,
fried chicken, and bountiful summer salads.
We’ve tasted a bunch
– here are our favorites:
($7). We tasted this in
San Francisco and really liked it. It
is just bursting with refreshing citrus
and kiwi fruit, with appealing herbal
grassy notes. Clean and bright. Not a
spot of oak to be found. Pure fruit goodness.
Ready to drink now.
($8). Easy-going, with clean
pear, melon, and citrus fruit along with
simple grassy notes. Ready to drink now.
($8). Lively mix of juicy lime and smooth
pear, with subtle but complex earth and
grass notes. Ready to drink now.
($9). Pure, focused fruit character includes
juicy citrus and passion fruit, with subtle
mineral and fresh clover. Stays clean
throughout. Ready to drink now.
($8). Fresh and aromatic, with flavor
notes that include key lime and juicy
apple. Grass and just a slight touch of
mint polish things off. Ready to drink
now.
($8). Steely clean and fresh,
set off by ripe tropical fruit and crisp,
juicy apple. Stays crisp and refreshing
through to the finish. Ready to drink
now.
