Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2008, Marlborough, New Zealand: Vintages Wine Panel: This perennial classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has exuberant aromas of gooseberry, grass, cream of asparagus, jalapeño peppers and melon. It's intense and lively with crisp acidity and a lingering, slightly minerally finish. My note: One of my favorite New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, especially in this price range. Bursting with gooseberry freshness, lemon zest, passionfruit and lime. Medium-bodied. This one will wake up your mouth and stir your appetite. 316570 11% D 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 89/100.

Folie À Deux Merlot Syrah Gewürztraminer Rosé 2008, California, United States: Vintages Wine Panel: The latest threesome from the Ménage á Trois series features Merlot, Syrah and some Gewürztraminer just to spice things up. Almost neon pink in color, the aromas suggest flowers, cherry, rhubarb and tropical fruit. Off-dry, approachable and easy to drink, this fruity, balanced wine has a slightly spicy, seductive finish. A great summer sipper with friends. My note: Light and happy, redolent of field strawberries and summer breeze. 120220 14% MD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 87/100. June 6, 2009 Full Review
