Format

Most of the posts will focus on a single wine.  Every couple weeks, I'll try to summarize all of the wines discussed so far for a particular type of wine like Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon.  Occasionally, I'll offer a news article or a "How to" article on various topics (tasting wine, collecting wine, storing wine, etc.).  The posts are tagged with keywords that are listed on the right side below.

2008 Angeline Sauvignon Blanc

My favorite value-priced white wine right now is the 2008 Angeline Sauvignon Blanc (made by Martin Ray Winery, Russian River, Sonoma County, California).  List price is $14 and it is $11.20 a bottle with the case discount.  Crisp, moderately-dry, flavors of grapefruit and other citrus.  Just delicious.

My wife and I discovered this wine at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair's wine tasting in October 2008 where the 2007 Angeline Sauvignon Blanc had been awarded a gold medal and judged to be Best of Class.  We think the 2008 vintage is excellent, too -- maybe even a shade better than the 2007 vintage.  Drink it now!
