New Zealnd Trio

New Zealand makes some wonderful Sauvignon Blancs. They come in two styles. Think Picasso and Rembrandt. One style, the style I dont like, is reminiscent of jalapeno pepper flavor in the wine without the heat. Yuck.

The other style, the good one, starts off with the wine tasting like tropical fruit, but before you can swallow, the wine changes into freshly grated grapefruit zest flavor. It rock all summer long and citrus works with fish.

My 3 favorites are Sole Beech $9.99, Oyster Bay $13.99 and Seresin $24.99, The difference between them, think 2% milk, milk and half and half. So save the Seresin for a serious summer meal. The others are guzzable.
