Sterling Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2006 Napa Valley

Today I was fortunate to be invited to a Memorial Day party at my friend Patty's house her in Southern California. The menu was simple: grilled meats, salads, some baked beans and some great desserts. In addition to beer and some champagne we also tasted some great wine.


The wine I want to mention today is from Sterling Vineyard (http://www.sterlingvineyards.com/) in Northern Napa Valley in Calistoga. The 2006 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc had a tremendous grassy/herbal nose. Very refreshing taste with notes of clean pears and apples. This wine had fermented in mostly stainless steel giving it a very bright and simple taste.


I picked this up at the neighborhood Vons (http://www.vons.com/) for $12.49 a bottle. What a bargain!!
