Some white wine recommendations

Bodega Norton (Argentina) 2007 Sauvignon Blanc. An excellent wine that retails for around $9.00.

Fess Parker 2006 or 2007 Viognier. Aroma and taste of ripe peach and orange marmalade. Retails for $22.00. When you want something a little different.

Zaca Mesa 2007 Viognier. A great bargain at Costco, selling for around $13.00 right now.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2007 Chardonnay (Washington state). A very pleasant wine, and a good bargain. Retails for $13.00.

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2006 or 2007 Pinot Gris. Same winery as above. Pinot gris and pinot grigio are the same thing. One word (grigio) is Italian, the other is French. They both mean "gray." This is a very nice wine. Nothing complicated, but goes well with Chinese food. Retails for around $13.00.

Edna Valley 2007 Chardonnay. From the Paso Robles region of central California. A very nice wine. Retails for around $15.00.

Kim Crawford 2007 or 2008 Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is from New Zealand. It is excellent. Very floral; the smell almost reminds me of kiwi. Retails for around $17.00.

Villa Maria 2007 Sauvignon Blanc. Another New Zealand wine, where the best Sauvignon Blancs in the world are being made at present. A little cheaper than the Kim Crawford, but just as good, if not better, in my opinion. Retails for around $13.00.

Chateau St. Jean 2007 Fume Blanc. A well respected Californa winery from Sonoma County. Fume (which means 'smoke') blanc is the same thing as sauvignon blanc. Robert Mondavi made up the name in the 60's when he started aging his sauvignon blanc in oak. Retails for $13.00.

Ferrari-Carano 2007 Fume Blanc. This is a consistently good wine from vintage to vintage. Retails for $15.00.
