I went into one of my local retailers this weekend and was treated to a small tasting of Chilean and Argentinian bottlings. The first was a sleeper, this Luis Felipe Edwards sauvignon blanc 2007. During my trials to find a non-chardonnay white that C and I can both appreciate, it's not often that I find one this tasty, certainly not this inexpensive.Edward's offering is not unlike a California sauvignon in citrus and grassy fields on the nose. Red grapefruit, oranges, and lemon drops on the tongue add to its nice complexity at this price level. Serve this up slightly chilled for what remains of the good early fall weather. This one craves the outdoors, namely your patio. Bring your soft cheese and hot dry salami for a nice early evening starter. This one will put out a spicy fire while offering a little more than the average sauv blanc charm. A bit sweet for this varietal but still nice.
T-Scale - 88+. Lots of this stuff out there, but really good price - $11.99 - $15.99 depending on your seller. Gobble it up. Your non-wine-drinking company will actually like this one. Think of this as a "beer lover's wine."
