Kim Crawford Pansy! Rosé 2014, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand: A vibrant, almost robust (for rose) wine with terrific refreshment. Aromas of field strawberries and cranberry. Lots of great acidity for food, such as cold chicken sandwiches and cheeses. Drink: 2014-2016. 650325 13% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 90/100. June 27, 2015 Best Value Rosé Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
Loosen Bros. Dr. L Riesling 2013, Mosel, Germany: Love it! There's simply no better value white wine on the shelf. Lime blossom gorgeous. The alcohol is refreshingly low, yet this is no wimpy wine: it's packed with flavour. Perfect as an aperitif or companion to many dishes. Some terrific white pear and lime blossom on the finish of this Qualitätswein (Q.B.A.) wine. Try it with just about anything, but start with seafood or a medium curry. Winemaker Ernie Loosen makes a range of wines, and this is his entry-level offering. It's spectacular for the price. Drink: 2013-2018. 599274 8.50% MS 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 90/100. April 18, 2015 Best Value White Wine. Spectacular Spicy Wine Full Review
