However, wines seem more fun to me now because I like to look them up and learn more about where they come from and where and how the grapes are grown. This Starborough Sauvignon Blanc is from New Zealand, and I gladly admit that I love wines with caps that screw off so that I don't have to struggle with finding a cork screw, or when I'm out and about, hunting down something to pull out a cork!
For instance, I didn't know, until I looked it up, that this winery is located on New Zealand's south island. The winery's website also has a special page dedicated to this wine. I love the winemaker notes which explain the specifics of the weather and how it affected the grape in any given year.
It's rare that a wine sticks with me the way this one has... but it's clearly a winner!
