Aliwen Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2006

littlegray — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:23:46 +0000

Another exceptionally cheap wine, this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is very crisp, with citrus and grass notes. At eight dollars, a wine perhaps does not have to live up to the same standards of even its $15 brethren, but don’t let that scare you away from this cheap treat. Pairs well with fettuccine Alfredo.
