2010 Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand, $16

With the warmer weather starting to become relevant, the search for lighter more fruit driven wines that work with grilled foods is a nightly adventure at our house. This sauvignon blanc delivers, starting with a nose full of grapefruit and citrus, with continued to develop in the mouth. Once the wine hits the mouth the flavors explode with layers of fresh ripe citrus, hints of fresh jalapeno peppers, and a lemon grass note. The pepper flavor is not a hot spicy note, but more of a fresh from the garden pepper flavor. The finish has terrific notes of herbs and a terrific note of acidity that really keeps this wine fresh. A terrific wine for seafood, for almost any grilled chicken or pork.
