This week's wine is Don Raphael Reserva's sauvignon blanc (I haven't done any whites yet!). This one is from the Aconcagua Valley in Chile, made by Conde de Valazquez. Chilean wines are becoming more and more popular, and I've like almost every one that I've tried.This sauvignon blanc has notes of "fresh lime and floral aromas." It’s from the foothills on the Chilean side of Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. It’s the only Chilean region north of Santiago, cooled by the mountain’s glacial breezes at night, warmed by the nearby Atacama dessert during the day. That makes the grapes very fragrant. Also it’s very lightly oaked (Source). Visit the website here.
Pinot grigio used to be my favorite white, but I really like sauv blanc more now. It's not at all sweet, but that lime flava is great. Very good for warmer days! The best part about this one is that it's under $10 (somewhere around $8, actually)! Good choice when you want something different that is cheap.
Have a great weekend, all. Do something Irish.

mmmm lime...that sounds good!
I'm normally not a big fan of the white, but the lime sounds intriuging. Can I get it anywhere, or is it found at a particular store??
