South Africa Sauvignon Blanc

"Fleur du Cap" a French name for a nice wine "inspired by Nature" as printed on the label. This wine has the right balance between fruit, alcohol and dryness; in other words it is really easy to drink and it pairs very well with everyhting from the sea.

Etrusco..also in California

First it sounds strange that they couldn't find another name for a Californian wine but after visting the Martin Weyrich Wines web site I found out that this winery is specialized in Italian grape varieties and they are making Cal-Italina wines! Anyway this is a Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon found at Trader Joe's around $7 which is in fact pretty good. It is definitely this mix of Californian taste with Italian tradition which helped my pleasure. Good one to try. Watch the alcohol level though!
