2009 Starborough Sauvignon Blanc

By perry227 on Friday, September 10th, 2010 | No Comments

Name: Starborough Type: White Grape: Sauvignon Blanc Origin: New Zealand Year: 2009 Producer: Starborough Vineyards Price: $12.99 Better chilled than room temp, this Sauvignon Blanc has a potent aroma of cat piss — er, cat urine, pardon my French — that intensifies as the wine warms. That’s an aroma I associate more with Gewurtztraminer and I [...]

Name: Cupcake Pinot Grigio Type: White Grape: Pinot Grigio Origin: Italy Year: 2009 Producer: Cupcake Vineyards Price: $9.99 It’s a good day for Pinot Grigio.

Name: Redtree Moscato Type: White Grape: Moscato Origin: U.S. – California Year: 2009 Producer: Cecchetti Wine Company Price: $8.99 I’m a sucker for a sweet wine so I saw this on sale and went for it.
