Wine Win Wednesday: Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc

Wine:  Villa Maria 2010 Sauvignon Blanc, Private Bin New Zealand Marlborough Region

Why it's a win:  This crisp, clean Sauvignon Blanc is slightly sweet on the nose, and full of tropical fruits and herbs on the palate.  We drank this wine at a cook-off and paired it with a spinach-artichoke dip and a bruschetta.  It was elegant, smooth, and ever so creamy with a refreshing finish.  It was a big hit at the party, and even us women who usually prefer sweet whites really liked it.  Rated 90 points by Wine Spectator.

Where you can find it: Costco, Fred Meyer

Price: $11 at Costco
