Hug Cellars-Cedar Lane Vineyard-Arroyo Seco-Sauvignon Blanc-Central Coast-California-

2007-$18.00-Light, crisp citrus nose, light pale tint.  Good acidity, grapefruit, kiwi.  A good

summer drinking wine, Sauvignon Blanc is not my favorite but this was good.   I visited Hug Cellars a

couple years ago, Augie and Raquel Hug make very good small production wines.    NR  CR-3.5-4

Good with seafood, chicken.

Mendoza Vineyards-Agua de Piedra-Gran Reserva-Malbec-Argentina-2007-$11.99-A buddy at

work brought this in to try, seriously heavy wine bottle, a weapon. Hard to comment on nose since it

had been opened the night prior, dark color.  Smooth, a good mouth feel, good dark fruit.  A good

Malbec especially for the price.   NR    CR-3.5     Good with steak, pasta.
