Wine Watch

I am an avid wine drinker and thought it would be interesting to have a wine section on the blog. I love finding great deals on wine and feel that great wines can be found for under $10. Here are a couple of really good wines I picked up at the local grocery store here in LA:

Nobilo - Sauvignon Blanc 2006 - Reginal Collection - Marlborough, New Zealand. The grocery store sommelier recommended this one, it was on sale for $8.99. If you like Sauvignon Blanc this is a great little wine. Light, refreshing and crisp - it has the most amazing fragrance of passion fruit. The texture is very light and drinkable with flavors of lemongrass, grapefruit and passion fruit. Very tropical and great for a hot summer's day.

Hunters Grove - Chardonnay 2005 - Napa Valley, California. A robust Chardonnay I found on sale for $9.99. Full bodied and refreshing. It has a fragrance of apples and pears and flavors of apple, pear and creme brulee. It is creamy and finishes with a light citrus note.

I'm alway looking for recommendations, please leave yours in the comments section!
