Thanks to a vigilant field informant, I discovered this delightfully drinkable and
seriously affordable Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The 2008 Vin-Koru is 12.8% alcohol and loaded with lemongrass and pepper. The central core of minerals and salt leads to a very lively finish of tart peaches and fennel. This could be your new summer tipple — and for $5.99, it is definitely one of mine. Check TJs.
Another score: France’s “Now & Zen,” 2007 Alsace White, just $4.99. 40% Sylvaner, 30% Pinot Blanc, 15% Riesling, 15% Gerwurztraminer. 12.5% alcohol.
A keeper.
