and Wine Spectator (89)... Kim Crawford 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough) This iconic New Zealand winery's Sauvignon Blanc hits all the right notes in 2007, featuring lush stone-fruit flavors accented by less ripe notes of fresh herbs and capsicum. A fine aperitif, or try served with herb-seasoned shellfish. Drink now and over the next six monthe. Imported by Icon Estates.---J.C. and Wine Enthusiast (86) Best Buy Placido Pinot Grigio Textbook Pinot Grigio with fresh apple and pear flavors and a crisp, clean finish. This is exactly the kind of wine you'll want to drink for friendly, informal dining. - Wine Enthusiast, June 2006		Move over Champagne and Caviar. Among the word's most indulgent and sensational food and wine combinations is surely a premier Cru or Grand Cru White Burgundy, especially an opulent Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet with lobster drizzled with butter. When the sweet, rich creaminess of the wine meets the sweet rich meatiness of the lobster, well, if you don't die of poverty first, you'll die of pleasure. - "The Wine Bible" Karen Macneil Having a dinner party and not sure which wine to serve with that special meal? Call the staff at Fitger's Wine Cellars for free advice. We'll be happy to make some suggestions. Here's a few ideas! 1) Match Strengths...Powerfully flavored dishes require wines of equal fortitude.

Rich cream or butter sauces are well matched with an acidic "cutting-wine". Here's a party hosting tip *from "The Everything Wine Book"* "Cheese makes almost all wines taste better, and this is especially true for cheap wine, so if you are serving wine at your event, make sure you have cheese and crackers, not M&M's and pretzels."
