Spinyback Sauvignon Blanc 2017, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand: Herbal and very grassy with big mouth-watering acidity for a variety of dishes. Medium-bodied and food-friendly. Lime zested on crushed stones on the finish. Try it with vegetarian pizza or seafood.

Kings Ridge Pinot Noir 2016, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States: Lots of acidity and tart cherry with tomato leaf aromas and flavours. Oregon Pinot Noir is a different wine than pinots from other regions: it's edgier, mouth-watering and acidic in a great way that can handle many dishes from planked salmon to roast chicken. This wine also sports a silky texture, medium body and a snap on the finish. Drink: 2018-2022. 237776 13% XD 750 mL  $27.95 Score: 89/100. May 12, 2018 Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
