Staff Pick Notes

A very nice Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. This wine splits the difference nicely between the sweetness of a NZ Sauv Blanc and the grassy minerality of the French Loire Valley version. Most importantly, the Casas Del Bosque just tastes great, and most people who try it buy it.

This comes through in the wine, with a mineral salinity which balances nicely with the fresh clean citrus and tropical fruit notes.

Chile’s friendly, delicious Carmenères are the best example, but Chile is generally one of the most consistent sources of delicious, ready-to-drink, approachable wines. Cabernet Sauvignons from Chile are just as crowd-pleasing as the Carmenères, and keep an eye out for velvety,...

Sauvignon Blanc

Few varietals have spawned as bizarre a list of descriptors as Sauvignon Blanc. Believe it or not, “cat pee” is in fact a complimentary tasting note, associated with some of the best bottlings. (It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...
