New Zealand's 2007 Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc scored 87 pts. by Wine Spectator magazine. Not too shabby for a sub-$10 bottle of wine. This light-bodied white is defined by hints of lemon and grapefruit as well as gooseberry and grassy notes, with a dry, but quick finish.
It would pair best with seafood or other light offerings.
It's certainly not my favorite Sauvignon Blanc, but it's on the short list, if for no other reason than there's a monkey on the label.

This wine also tends to be a fairly good deal when we find it at restaurants (like Sushi Thai in Cary), so that's where we usually drink it.
ReplyDeleteLeandra. Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep a lookout for it on local menus
