Villa Maria, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc “Private Bin” 2008

($18, Vineyard Brands): The pleasant bite of lime-like flavors and the accompanying zesty pungency screams Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.  The freshness and cutting aspect of this consistent crowd-pleaser is hard to beat, especially with simple seafood or Asian cuisine. 88 Michael Apstein Jan 27, 2009
