Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2004
At the International Wine and Food Festival at the Banff Springs Hotel a few years ago, we had the delightful experience of a Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc tasting. We were both blown away by the rich tropical fruit flavours and bouquet. Ever since, we've followed the dictum that any New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with "Bay" in the name is bound to be good, while figuring, for some reason, that the actual Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc that had so impressed us would be very expensive. We don't see it in Saskatchewan, but there it was at the Eau Claire Wine Market in Calgary--and it wasn't really all that expensive at all. We bought it and enjoyed it in our hotel (we were there for Westercon 58, a major science fiction convention). It was every bit as wonderful as we remembered, bursting with mouth-watering pineapple and citrus flavours. Yum. Our rating out of 10: 8.5.

We don't see a lot of the wines you write about her in Texas, but the Cloudy Bay I can attest as outstanding!
