Chilean Sauvignon Blanc

From the "roots of the Andes"...this weekend's wine is a delicious 2006 SB from Anakena (D.O. Valle Central). Crisp, light, a touch acidic--this a great, refreshing wine! We had it last night with barbecue and finished the bottle this afternoon with spinach dip and crackers. It's been a long time since we drank any sort of Chilean wine, and we're wondering why. The price is always excellent (this bottle was around $7), and the quality is good. We're still stuck on Rueda and NZ SB, but maybe it's time to branch out and look for wines, especially whites, outside our comfort zone.

Have a great week!
