When it comes to white wine, so many of us continually go with what we know.

What we know…and what we buy…usually means chardonnay and/or pinot gris. 

 But if you’re looking for a “gateway” wine

that could help you transition from the same old-same old

to a wide array of under-appreciate whites,

we have one you should consider.

For this edition of Wine Thursday!

our weekly good-wine-at-a-good-price

that-you-can-find recommendation,

we’re going with something that could

change the way you think about white wine.

A well-made sauvignon blanc

 forces you to sit up and take notice.

Kim Crawford’s 2018 sure does. 

From the moment you unscrew the cap, there’s a strong citrus hit. 

Our tasting team landed on grapefruit as the dominant flavor.

There’s also that unmistakable aroma of freshly-cut grass,

a trademark characteristic of sauvignon blanc. 

It’s a lively, interesting wine that would be an ideal match

with pesto sauce or roasted vegetables. 

We found Kim Crawford 2018 sauvignon blanc

at Costco for $11.69

Trader Joe’s for $13.99

and at Fred Meyer and QFC for $14.99.
