This is a truly yummy summer wine you can drink by the bottle. More honeysuckle than fruit, this lacks the crispness of some sav’s, but makes up for it with floral oakiness, with a hint of Macintosh apple.
Brandy says, “Like a crisp, tart, green apple turnover. Reminds me of champagne, but that could just be my period talking….”
Upon further reflection, Brandy tastes lime. Rancid lime…

Nice wine, especially for ten bucks. Very intense grapefruit. Nice, tart summery wine. Quaffable! Even when not chilled, its still great, cause its so tart. Delicious!
Brandy says, “The elixer of life, nurturing the dry ivy of my soul, in the hot days of June.”
Drink on, Brandy, drink on……

This is the quintessential Sauvignon Blanc. Fruity, crisp, cheap(!), delicious. Highly quaffable. The perfect wine when its FUCKING 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE FOR THE TWENTIETH DAY IN A ROW!!!
(note: For those would-be etymologists out there, the word quintessential is derived from the latin term meaning ‘Fifth Essence’, which is meant to denote the fifth element (apart from Earth, Water, Air, and Fire) that embodies the celestial, heavenly perfection that exists above the moon). Nice, huh?

Millions of peaches, peaches for me…this wine has a nice, clean, fruity taste. Heavy peach flavors. I did a tour of wine country last night, learned a lot, and developed a taste for sweet wines, paired with the right foods, of course, so now my mind is open. Millions of peaches, peaches for free…..

Sauvignon Blancs are my absolute fave right now. This one is no exception. I love how forward the fruit is. Melon, grapefruit rinds, banana, and crisp (not too sweet). You have to be careful what you pair with it, cause it can be easily overpowered, but for a cool sip after work on a hot summer’s day, I’ll take this puppy over a Miller Lite anyday of the week and twice on Sundays!
