All hail $3 Buck Chuck. Peaches and a whisper of smoke. Crisp acidity cleaned the palate after bites of pesto-glazed pasta. But a bit too sweet to be balanced.

Hey, $2.98 a bottle, it works good with Jimmy John’s Unwich #9

My first bottle of wine I bought as an adult. The true wine icon. It’s everything and then some. It’s perfect for any occasion.

Meh. Musky after taste. Would not buy again.

Wasn’t disappointed that there was some left over to drink after cooking with it. Not a bad wine for the price of bottled water, but lacked any of the expected fruit from a Sauv Blanc. I’ll go back to my NZ favorites, but this was worth a try. Just for cooking next time.
