I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

Massimo Sauvignon Blanc 2011 (about $11)
About the Wine: Sauvignon Blanc is a classic white used in French blends such as White Bordeaux but is also drunk by itself. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has a grapefruit taste that has made it very popular, surpassing the French product in some markets.
About THIS Wine: Massimo is very light in the glass and slightly luminous. A nose of heavy grapefruit with hints of lemon delivers into a strong grapefruit palate with a mild lemon finish. Neither the palate nor the finish really linger, but both are pleasant.
Drinking This Wine: This is fine as a sipping wine. It would also pair well with white fish or lemon chicken.
Overall Impression: There is nothing spectacular about this wine. It is a good Sauvignon Blanc and at eleven dollars it is good for the price.
