Noah and I opened this bottle we got from the winery tour to enjoy with dinner. It was a "nothing special" kind of night for dinner, and I felt silly pairing wine with chicken nuggets....but I could really use a glass of wine to relax sometimes!
This wine was superb! It was acidic and crisp, but not too sweet to enjoy with dinner. You could definitely taste the melon and pear in the wine. It had NO aftertaste, just a clean cut finish. I really liked it, and had it again a few nights later! Yum!

Oak Leaf Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Tonight I picked up a bottle of Oak Leaf Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc at Walmart for $2.97. Ha. Pretty cheapo wine, so I wasn't expecting much. It doesn't even have an explanation on the back of the bottle! So all I really know about it is that it is vinted and bottled in California.
We were having pizza for dinner, and I honestly didn't know (and still don't know!) what kind of wine you match with pizza. I wasn't in the mood for a red wine, so I grabbed this one because it was on sale. It has a very acidic, grassy smell...which set me off a bit. But I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. It was crisp, sweet and citrisy, with a very short and mild finish. Maybe I just am attuned to liking cheap wine. lol. But I enjoyed it. I figure if I can buy something I enjoy for $2.97 a bottle, why not!
