2009 Drylands Sauvignon Blanc
I generally think of Sauvignon Blanc as a summer wine. Now that I've tried this wine, I'm seriously rethinking that notion. This wine has some serious floral notes going on, but it's got a strong caramel element that grounds it. We had it with mushroom chicken stroganoff and it was impeccable.
Seattle-ites: It's on sale right now at UVillage QFC for $7.99/bottle.

Not all Beaujolais are Nouveaux
2009 Paul Etienne Beaujolais-Villages
Beaujolais has a bad rap. We think of it only as the usually mediocre wines that we slug back at American Thanksgiving, ususally after we've drunk the good Pinot Noirs. This wine is a reminder that not all Beaujolais are created equal and we should be happy that's the case! Round, full, warm and delicious--that's what this wine is. At $10 a bottle, it's worth buying not just one but two cases.
