White Haven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2009

 We can’t say enough about this wine.  We never buy sauvignon blancs because they are often too “fizzy” for our liking so we tend to stick to pinot grigio.  This, however, called out to us the minute we entered our favorite wine shop.  Not only was it already cold, the paper on the label was textured and beautiful (a great way to pick your wine, we know…) so we thought we’d give it a go.

The minute we poured it into our glasses we noticed a mix of aromas consisting of freshly cut grass and citrus and immediately knew we would love it.  It did not let us down and we have since purchased it three more times.  At the shop we go to it is about $18 a bottle.
