So, in my latest over-the-bridge wine foray, I visited the aisle with sparkling wines as well as wines from South Africa and Germany last.

While I was more in the mood for a Sauvignon Blanc, I was out of Chardonnay, and figured that I would try this one (I had already placed a bottle of Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve and a bottle of Old Fart's Wife in my cart).

I chose to crack open the bottle on Christmas eve, and I was very pleased with the taste that it delivered. It has citrus like a sauvignon blanc, but lime versus grapefruit. It was a very welcome tang, and not finishing it all that night, I decided to complete the bottle in the morning.

I would consider this another great purchase in the under $10 range that can challenge some stuff in the $10 to $25 range.
