2008 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
You probably see this wine bottle all over the place. It is a mass produced grocery store and wine shop staple. Is there anything wrong with that? In this case. . . no!
"Kim Crawford Wines started out in a small
Auckland cottage in New Zealand. Since launch in 1996, the label has
gained critical acclaim around the globe. Being big was never our aim.
Being the best has been." www.kimcrawfordwines.co.nz
Yes, Kim Crawford wines are from New Zealand and Sauvignon Blancs have become the "favorite wines" of this beautiful country. While the New Zealand is starting to produce wonderful Pinot Noirs, it is the Sauvignon Blancs that are putting their wineries (the Marlborough Region in particular) "on the map".
Sauvignon Blanc derives from the French word sauvage (“wild”) and blanc (“white”). New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs are generally crisp and powerful with intense aromas of citrus flavors. This light to medium
bodied aromatic wine matches well with salads, seafood and vegetarian
dishes or as an aperitif.
If you see this bottle at you local grocery store or wine shop (and you will!), pick it up and drink it now!
