365 Days of Wine
Remember when Great New Zealand Sauv. Blanc Was $10. Me too. Sadly its still a memory
February 28, 2010
Grabbed this at the megalomart grocery store. You guys do the same. Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough "regional collection" 2008, $11 bucks so what the hell.
Had great hopes, they were not met. A weak fruity nose and palate. Lots of grapefruit on the nose and palate. Fleshy fruit forward. Lord I miss the old days when this price would buy a great Sauvignon Blanc. Today, it seems NZ wants you to spend $25 or more for a great wine...Sad.
Had this with home made Fried Chicken. Such a no brainer. The wine was flabby, grapefruity, and not so interesting.
Not horrible, not great.
If nothing else is around, drink this wine. If you have alternatives, drink them
Cheers
