Knock Off Drink Par Excellence

Charlotte Observer wine critic, restaurant owner Catherine Rabb, gives US readers the low down on NZ Sauvignon Blanc. “Restaurant work is a hot, sweaty business. At the end of a long night, my favorite wine is a glass of NZ sauvignon blanc,” she writes. “Crisp and racy, the wine is as refreshing as diving into a cold pool.” Rabb’s picks include offerings from Cloudy Bay, Brancott, Villa Maria, Kim Crawford, Nobilo and Craggy Range.
