Matua Sauvignon Blanc 2013

I have a guilty pleasure: a glass of good Sauv Blanc around 3PM. I don't do it that often, because I don't need my "alky alarm" to sound, but it's summer. It's 95 in my backyard. I don't have anything to do or anywhere to go. It's hot outside and inside this bottle, it's crisp and cold and refreshing and ready to make all my cares melt away.

And! I found it at Costco.

New Zealand is known for Sauv Blanc, and this is quite delightful. It has a sweet fruity bouquet, but don't be fooled! There are some that shall remain unnamed that turn their nose up at fruity whites, but the hints of melon and citrus evenly balance the dry center, and linger into the refreshing finish.

I'm not a huge fan of white but am coming around on Sauv Blanc. And while I wasn't necessarily bowled over by this wine, I was refreshed and happy.

Bottom line: This could be your key to happiness!
