My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Montes Classic Series Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Whoa! Loads of citrus - lime and white grapefruit - with fresh cut grass and a hint of tinned asparagus. I was really glad we opened this just before choosing which veggies to make with tonight's dinner; it was definitely magic with fish and roasted asparagus. Even though it's got some body, there's a good hit of acidity here so it does especially well with food (as opposed to being a great sipper) unless, of course, it's a killer sunny day on the patio in which case it is exactly what you want.

I couldn't find this listed on the BC government store site, but you can find it for about $18 at Firefly in Maple Ridge, probably at Firefly on Cambie and certainly at other private shops.
