Kim and I are loving this cheap yet tasty white. Will pay more attention tonight to get some good tasting notes.
We've already stocked up on a few magnums... our daily drinking wine this summer.

From Wall Street Journal "Jug Wine" Article:
"This wine is a steal. It's fresh, fruity and fun, with lively Sauvignon Blanc green-pepper character. If you have a floating chair in the pool that holds a little plastic cup, this is the wine to pour into that cup. Lusty and easy to like, it would also make cold summertime dishes like cold poached fish sparkle. In our tasting, we found that too many whites lacked character. They tasted so much like lemon-lime water that we'd rather have Perrier with lime. This is a white with character, but oh-so-easy to gulp, too. In general, if you are looking for a crowd-pleasing, inexpensive white this summer, the new vintage of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is one good place to start."
