I wouldn’t say I was shocked but I told him clearly that I disagreed. And then the discussion was over!

In my opinion the Sauvignon Blanc grape makes some of the most crispy and fresh white wines in the world. And they are perfect with food, especially light fish-dishes or spicy thai or asian food. Or try it to sushi - its lovely…

And there are lots of value Sauvignon Blancs around. And some of the best from New Zealand. Here are a few which should be broadly available:

2004 Villa Maria Wairau Valley Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
This  wine from New Zealand is lovely! It has lime, bread and nut aromas. It’s full-bodied with fresh fruit and a bit heavy with an intense taste. It has a very light oak aroma which adds complexity. A top Sauvignon Blanc.

Score: 91/100 pts.
Price: $16 / Euro 13

2004 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc
This light colored wine has intense aromas of grapefruit, tropical fruit. It is medium bodied with lots of fruit and a crispy and lightly mineral taste. It has a wonderful balance and has a looong and lasting taste with fruit and a crispy end.

Score: 91/100 pts.
Price: $18 / Euro 15

Welcome to my new blog about wine. Oh, why another wineblog you might think? Well, I am just interested in sharing my experience with others. You see I am not new to wine. In fact I have been tasting and written about wine for over 8 years now as the owner of the largest wine website in Denmark. It’s called VinForum and you are welcome to visit, but it is in Danish.

I attend a lot of interesting seminars, tastings, winemaker-dinners, which I would like to share with you also - and not only with my small Danish audience.

I will try to make the blog as interactive as possible and will also include podcasts - interviews with winemakers and owners - and maybe also videos. I hope you like it and will stay tuned.
