Great value Bordeaux blend. Hints of spice, leather, cassis and plum....yum! Scored 90 points with Wine Spectator, but I give it a 91.

Connie reviewed this wine:

one of those wow wines. Guigal has never disapointed!The wine is full body but, the tannins are soft. Drink now or put it away for a while.

Mud House Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Marlborough, New Zealand

Connie scored this wine: 90/100

Wow, this wine is sooo good! Medium body so you can sip it with friends with no food at all or pair it with a family meal of turkey, or an easy pizzie, pizza. New Zealand makes great Pinot but to find one from Central Otago under 20 bucks, yeeha!!

Graham Beck Sauvignon Blanc 2010

I have been drinking a lot of New Zealand SB's lately, I think the Mud House is a terrific value from there. I found the G.B. a nice change, more earthy, herbal notes as apposed to the fruity of the other, I love everything I have tried from this house from their Rose to my favourite Gamekeeper red, At $13.95 I'm tempted to give it a 90!
