Nederburg Sauvignon Blanc 2006 - $10.95
Style: W2
South Africa
The competition to create great sauvignon seems to be heating up, with quality increasing as prices come down. This is a fantastic example for the money, with classic passionfruit, grass, gooseberry, and canned asparagus aromas. The palate is crisp and loaded with citrus/grapefruit flavour, with very good body and length, and a tangy close. Worth at least $5 more, it would be ideal to put with herby poultry, anything with rosemary, or very flavourful fish. (LCBO 382713)

My Wine of the Week is selected on the basis of "bang for the buck." I look for wines that offer good, every day value. My picks are loosely based around a $12-$15 ceiling, and must be readily available.

With the crazy spring-like weather we're having, a nice refreshing white seems like a perfect idea! I like a Sauvignon Blanc that does have some weight to it and a nice racy, crisp finish. This sounds like the ticket.
