MAMA LIKES TO DRINK ON THURSDAY'S: Wither Hills Sauvigno Blanc

 

 

Mrs. D and I tasted the wine above while out to dinner at One If By Land, Two If By Sea in Manhattan.  It was the Sauvignon Blanc offered by the glass and we have never been steered wrong by a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  Everything about it was wonderful from the smell to the taste.  It had all the characteristics of a classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with the grass, citrus, grapefruit bite to it. The Wither Hills SB added a bright, bold crispness to it that made it so pleasant and easy to drink.  Mrs. D ordered a second glass with dinner and I promised to order it from our local retailer for her.  It should approximately be priced at $15.  FYI if you can’t find a wine you like at your local Liquor Store ask the staff to see if they could order you a bottle.  I find most stores are willing to do so and will eagerly accommodate your request.  I also find it helpful to take a photo of the label so you can ensure to give the store all the correct information.
