As the end of
daylight savings time approaches, I suggest an impromptu picnic in the park to give
our extra hour of sunlight its last hurrah. Take your favorite brie and
crackers, a jar of organic fig jam, and, most importantly, this refreshing $5.99
must-have Sauvignon Blanc from Black Mountain. Considering I prefer
red wines over white, after buying three bottles (and I only have one left) it is safe to say I think 2011 was a great year for this Napa Valley
winery.

2011 Black Mountain Sauvignon Blanc (Three Candles)
Tasting notes: Notes of
melon, mint, and grapefruit are harmoniously engaged and create a satisfying
effect. The crisp acidity adds to the charm and invites one to pair this wine
with food or simply sip by itself.
