($10, Pasternak Wine Imports):  With clear Sauvignon Blanc character, this wine falls somewhere between the riper style common in California and the electrifying signature of the ones coming from the Marlborough region of New Zealand.  Although it lacks the chalky minerality–and the price–of Saget’s Sancerre (also reviewed this week), it’s a good choice as a vibrant everyday kind of wine to complement take-out Thai food. 86 Michael Apstein Dec 28, 2010
