White Wine: Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc, 2009, California

90 Points – $35

A Canadian entrepreneur who now has vineyards in California including areas in the famous Stag’s Leap district. This crisp white wine will go up against any of the New Zealand sauvignons with a nose of green apple, starfruit and citrus fruits. Flavors of tart apple, grapefruit and earth. A good finish.  A good Californian Sauvignon Blanc.

White Wine: Conundrum, 2009, California.

88 Points – $25

This very popular and well liked white is produced from the Caymus wine group. Clear crisp yellow in color with a floral nose of apricot, melon, green apple and honeysuckle. A mouth of melon,honeydew, pear and vanilla. A great wine for those that like melon. (Melon is not my cup of tea) But, well liked by many.
