Well I was excited with the selection today ... everyone knows my favorite wine is Sauvignon Blanc and one of my favorite regions is Chile ... but ... I was so disappointed! It was very acidic and the grassy aromas that pour forth when you open a good bottle were hardly evident ... we didn't have the pizza suggested below (maybe THAT was the problem!!) but we did have one of my favorite dips with tortilla chips and I thought for sure we had an amazing match ... I have to give it a 6.5/10 ...
