Cazin – Cheverny Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc from Loire, France
DB0003-18
Sauvignon Blanc from Loire, France
80% Sauvignon Blanc/20% Chardonnay. Though Cazin's quiet rock-stardom stems from his Cour-Cheverny wines from the more obscure Romorantin grape, it was his Cheverny Blanc--by law a Sauvignon/Chardonnay blend-- which led importer Joe Dressner to François's wines in the first place at a Loire wine...

Rafael Tirado – Laberinto Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc from Maule, Chile
DB9018-19
Sauvignon Blanc from Maule, Chile
Arguably one of Chile’s best values; made all in stainless, and bottled fresh after spending a mere 3 months on the lees. Bright and floral aromatics give way to a palate that is lean, and mineral, sharp and citrusy.
