When winemaker Simon Waghorn created his own brand, he chose the name Astrolabe, which is an ancient instrument of navigation that measures the altitude of the stars. Pale lemon with citrus notes and grassy herbal scents. On the palate peach, lemon citrus and melon flavors with vivid acidity. Medium+ finish ending with bright mineral character. Nice! Tasting Sample!

Classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc: lemon grass and lime peel, white currant and red pepper. Medium-bodied with currant, citrus flavors, and a dry mineral finish. Loving this with oysters seafood. Serve chilled.

Delicious, tangy & zesty NZ SB-perfect "welcome home" wine. More gooseberry & Meyer lemon & nectarine than cat pee. Yummy.

Pronounced intensity, with aromas of green bell pepper, asparagus, apricot, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, lychee, grapefruit, lemon, and bell pepper with a long finish.

Solid Sauvignon blanc. Amazing fruits and berries yet retains some dryness. Smooth finish, no lingering bitterness whatsoever. Better than a Kim Crawford, maybe not quite a Cloudy Bay. $17.99 at Piazza
