2010 Tudal Family Winery Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, CA, $17 (S) – Rating 92

One of the best Sauvignon Blancs we’ve had all season. All Napa Valley fruit, this Tudal Family Winery Sauvignon Blanc is blended with 40% Sauvignon Musqué clone that gives it more depth and a round mouth-feel without adding oak. Crisp yet round flavors of  white peach, stone fruit, Meyer Lemon and apple with a touch of spice blend harmoniously to create a delicious wine.

2010 McPherson Cellars Viognier, Texas, $14 – Rating 90

Year after year McPherson Cellars creates one of the best Texas Viogniers, if not one of the best in the U.S. A  fruit forward dry wine with well integrated flavors of peach, honeydew, tropical fruits with a hint of apple and enough acidity to for perfect food pairing. We love this wine with shellfish, grilled white fish and especially Thai food.
