2008 Diogenese Sauvignon Blanc

Bobbii, Claire and Chef Lisa all agree, Diogenes, is one of the most amazing Sauvignon Blanc’s they have ever had! In a word, this wine is, EPIC!!!!! The nuances of grapefruit are insane!!! It is truly light and crisp. This wine would go with every kind of food with the exception of beef. A Brie Panini with Fig Jam and Arugula would be a totally awesome pairing! You cannot beat the price point on this stellar white, and it will convince even the most die-hard red drinkers to come on over to the other side!  Retail $21.00
