Facilitating Change

Evan and Maj served this wine on New Year’s Eve: Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Evan knows wine way better than me — he and Nico started Vinismo. I typically don’t like white wine. Just have not gotten there yet. Okay, maybe I can tolerate some Vinho Verde, but that’s almost in the girlywine category, right beside White Zinfandel (which Wikipedia so nicely describes as a quaffing wine). Sorry, Portugal.

This stuff tastes like flowers, but it’s not sweet. Magnificent for a hot summer day. Their website describes it this way: “Lifted aromatics of tropical fruits combined with the traditional nettle and herbaceous aromas of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.” Yeah whatever. Blah, blah, blah. Flowers, I tell you!

It costs almost $20 a bottle here in Quebec. Comes with a classy screw top. But don’t let that put you off. I saw it a Trader Joe’s in Seattle for $15. Not fair.
