This zingy white is classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Bright and racy, with aromas and flavors of green apples, grapefruit, and lime, it’s nicely offset by subtle melon notes. Easy drinking on its own, it’s best at the table with lightly spiced dishes from Mexico or Asia, or a main dish salad with chicken, pears, toasted nuts, and goat cheese. It’s at Tastes of the Valleys Pismo Beach and at Central Coast Wines in SLO, both at the bargain price of $14.99.
