Now this is my best value so far this year. From Marlborough New Zealand. The funny thing is it doesn't taste anything like a PG. It is more like someone mixed a riesling with a sauv blanc. You get the lightness and fresh flavors of the SB without the grassiness or acidity. Instead you get the off dry/semi sweet body of a nice riesling. Quite the bargin at 16 per, but with only 350 cases imported according to Spectator, it won't be found everywhere. I would try it if you see it though!! I know I'm grabbing another case for the summer.

I had to post on this wine again. I have poured it for family and friends and everyone who has tried it has bought some. This is one unique wine. I am ordering another case today and am nowhere near tired of it. I have to repeat, if you see this wine, try it. You will want more. It is like a white version of an Elyse Zinfandel. Very big.

My wife and I have actually had more than the token white this summer, so as I replenish my stocks, I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the rec.
