Andretti Sauvignon Blanc 1999

[hotwine]

At a vintner dinner last night with Michael Andretti of Indy and Formula 1 fame, this wine was paired with grilled portabella mushrooms and brandywine tomatoes with fresh Provolone cheese and a spicy apricot vinagrette, and goat cheese canapes. The wine was well-matched, with light citrus and herb notes and no overt oakiness. This is a nice patio sipping wine, but better with food than without. And better than most California SB's that I've tasted. $9.99 locally.
