Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Valley (Washington) Sauvignon Blanc 2012

($11): Chateau Ste. Michelle has a way with their “entry level” wines. Year in and year out their Columbia Valley Riesling is easy to recommend. So too is this Sauvignon Blanc. A beautiful combination of subtle tropical fruit offset by just the right amount of bite and verve keeps you coming back for more. Not tiring, this refreshing and zesty wine would be a good choice for steamed clams, grilled fish or even linguine with clam sauce. And what a value.
