twitterSavvy wine buys: Chateau Potelle ‘00 Sauvignon Blanc
Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2002 | 8:18 a.m.
The much-acknowledged Chateau Potelle overlooks the Napa Valley from its perch atop Mount Veeder, a place renowned for its excellent vineyards. This wine made this year's Top-10 list in Wine and Spirits Magazine, and not without good reason.
It's an elegant, well-balanced version of sauvignon blanc, a grape that seems to be gaining on chardonnay in popularity. It's not as heavily oak-scented as a chard, and it has the trademark grassiness and earthy, yeasty bite of a typical California sauvignon blanc.
Available at Lee's Discount Liquor and at Albertsons, $12.99.
