A. Faustini Wines-Beach House No 34-Sauvignon Blanc-Rutherford-California-2008-$30.00-A nose of crisp spicy citrus, straw in color.  A smooth easy drinking white, lemon zest, grape fruit, minerals and a very long finish, has more weight than a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  I was not a big fan of a Sauvignon Blanc, more of a Chardonnay fan for whites, but this was very enjoyable, seek it out.                  NR        CR-4.5    Good with cheeses, seafood, salads. 

Can Blau-Montsant-Mazuelo-Syrah-Garnacha-Spain-2007-$12.99-A big nose of dark spicy fruit, purple in color.  A full bodied interesting tasting red, cherry, smoky meat, blue and black berries, toasty oak.             RP-90            WS-87           CR-3.5-4           Good with pasta, chicken, meats.
