What happened to the wine o' the week??

It's been far too long since I've departed some wine-y wisdom, so here we go... Apparently school has distracted me from my duties. My bad. This one is a Kimmy P. suggestion that is fantastic for the remaining hot days we have in September. Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc-- very refreshing. Very grapfruity but not sweet. Here is some info from a website review:

About Sauvignon Blanc:

"Every winegrowing region in New Zealand produces Sauvignon Blanc, yet the best examples come from Marlborough, on the northern tip of the South Island. Warm, dry days, very cool nights and long days of sunlight during the growing season ripen Sauvignon Blanc just enough to develop its mostly green-fruit flavors, yet retain the wine's signature firm acidity."

About Silver Birch:

"This wine is distinctive for its aromas of talc, jasmine and musk, and the palate of juicy ruby grapefruit, kiwi and passion fruit. It's brightly acidic, with a stony, lemony finish."

Mmmmm!

It was yummy. Someone told me today, that on LA weightloss you can count wine as a fruit. Yeehaw

I'm totally into whites lately. I used to not like them at all, but it looks like my tastes are changing. This one sounds delish.

P.S.Sorry we didn't make it out on Sat. We had already gone to sleep.
