9/10 Kim $19.95 Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand). This one was recommended to me by a liquor store employee, who pitched it as being very popular... and I'm so glad that I picked it up!

9/10 $15.85 Georgian Hills Videl Blanc VQA (Ontario). Glassy lemon colour. Medium bodied, dry, delicate taste. No lingering aftertaste.

7.5/10 My good friend Mallory first introduced this to me as "a good volume white" and boy was she right! Woodbridge Chardonnay (California) is a great smooth white perfect for enjoying plenty of in any social setting. It's mildly fruity but has character, and at $11.95 it's a great price. Definitely a dependable white that I've... Continue Reading →
Nice weather = double patio day! Dinner with family friends and Santa Margarita Valdadige Pinot Grigio. So crisp, refreshing and beautiful! I taste some apple with this one. At $17.95 it's definitely a treat for an adult sunset social
