At an already wonderful party last weekend, I ran into an old friend: the Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc. Zippy and refreshing, this delightful white from Chile's Central Valley has beautiful floral and fruit elements on both the nose and palate, all the way through a fresh-as-can-be finish. On its own or with salads and other "spa food," this is as smooth a sipper as one could hope for at $8 (often less).
