Mmmmm, wine
I stepped outside of my red wine comfort zone and picked up a couple of bottles of white at Costco.
Kim Crawford 2006 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a light, crisp wine from New Zealand, with a hint of citrus -- grapefruit, I think -- and another fruit I can't quite identify (pear, maybe?) when I inhale deeply before taking a sip. The nose is so appealing my mouth actually started watering -- something I can't ever remember happening with a red.
It's tremendous when chilled, tasty and refreshing on a hot summer evening. We had it with salmon a few nights ago, and with Chinese food tonight; it was great with both.
I hope they still have it at the warehouse.

OK. I bought a couple of bottles. You were right. The grapefruit is definitely there. And it's a wonderful glass of wine. I think we live in wonderful times when $14 can buy a bottle of wine this good.
