This is a very very cheap Sauvignon Blanc. Its become something of a goal to find a very cheap wine that would not necessarily be embarassing to serve, you know - like Mad Dog or Riunite or something of that nature. This is a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, 2008.
I liked it actually. For $3.99 (after a $3 off coupon) it served it purpose. When my friend had it this weekend she tasted Guava? Certainly not the grapefruit one would expect with a SB. What I found particuarly amusing about this little bottle is that it has not a cork nor a screw top but a very strong foil top that holds tightly down a plastic disc that intends to keep the wine from leaking out of the bottle. This is definitely a conversation wine - I'm just not sure where the conversation is going.
Oh, and I have a bunch of it in my wine fridge.
hurray for joining the wine journal! And especially for posting insanely cheap wines. I am personally a huge fan of tasty insanely cheap wines. I'm thinking I might do my next entry on the box I've got in my fridge right now. ;)
