wiegie Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) I think I am in charge of the Sauvignon Blancs in a few weeks, and I thought I'd get a jump on setting up the wines. I think I definitely want to go with the 2004 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand ~ Marlbourgh. This should be very widely available. (If you can't get this, get the Villa Maria Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2004). I'm still up in the air on American SB's and would take suggestions.

Lady.hawke Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi Wieg! Thanks for the link - and the invitation. A few weeks ago, I had a lovely CA SB in a restaurant. It was recommended by the bartender and new to their list. He asked me not to judge it by it's screw-top but by it's taste. I was going to pass, but then he just gave it to me. It was very good. It's by Pepi Winery. I'm to new here to understand all the parameters by which you choose. I think it is about $10, but might be hard to find. Is there a place to find the schedule - or at least what you are tasting this week? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! 1226235[/snapback] Here is the link for the Chianti: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=135367 (and we will taste that tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10:00 p.m. EST -- although we can and do adjust times to fit people's needs/desires) As for screw-tops, we're not scared of them. (As a matter of fact we had a screw-top Pinot Noir and the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc also has a screw-top.) As for the schedule, go through the threads in this forum and you will get a feeling for the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! 1226235[/snapback] look under the topic "wine of the week" the format and "loose" schedule is around pages 1-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 OK, here are the Sauvignon Blancs: 2004 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand ~ Marlbourgh (Be careful, I noticed that the 2005's had started arriving in some places--let's stick with the 2004) 2004 Clos du Bois Sauvignon Blanc North Coast (I was debating what other wine to go with and then I saw this on sale for about $8 and that cinched it for me--I've never had it before so I don't know what to expect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Note: I just picked up one of the few bottles of the 2004 Kim Crawford for $12.99 at Costco. I think I could have gotten it for $10.99 at Cost-Plus/World Market, but I was too lazy to drive there. I also stopped by a local grocery story and saw that they were selling it for $18.99. That's way too high. I'd expect to pay about $14.99 for the Crawford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
