cloudy bay

[Renuka Singh]

can some one tell me some thing about this delightful white wine called 'cloudy bay'?

[Innkeeper]

Hi Renuka, and welcome to the Wine Board. Cloudy Bay is the most popular and hence the most expensive sauvignon blanc coming out of New Zealand (a.k.a. Kiwiland). However, it is only one of many, and those that have tried it and others, say the others are a much better value. Personally, have not tried it, but have tried many others, and have not found one I didn't like. Most Kiwi SBs sell in the low teens dollars in America.

Renuka Singh, cloudy bay is a delightful wine. The strongest flavor is Kiwi. It's a great hot sunday afternoon wine to have with friends, nice and light. If you like this wine you sould also try Bancroft wines. They make two wines that are just as good but better value. They are "B" and "P".

Fourtywest, did you mean to say Brancott? I've looked for "Bancroft" wines on the internet and in stores, to no avail. Brancott seems readily available, however.

No, there is a Bancroft, but I've never seen it in the Seattle area. I have had Brancott and thought it was a nice as well.
