This week, loyal readers and listeners, I've discovered a Casa Silva 2006 Sauvignon Gris from the Colchagua Valley (COL CHOW WAH) in Chile.
Don't be alarmed if you've never heard of the Sauvignon Gris grape; it is a delicious mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, and this elegant version offers classic grapefruit, grass and lime flavors highlighted with soft nuances of green apple.
It’s a wonderful aperitif and a good choice for green goddess salad, capellini with pesto and all types of spicy cuisines from Mexican to Asian. A steal at
only $17 at Monterey St. Wine Co.If you go to our podcast page you can hear an interview with the winemaker, Arnaud Frennet, on our February 16th show.
