Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, and I have a very nice sauvigna blanc from
New Zealand and a rose one of the first rosees
of the season, which was very versatile.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
And a big time winner as well. We'll start with
that twenty twenty three kloh Henry Savigna blanc from Marlboro
Region in New Zealand. This ninety two pointer is very
good value at twenty dollars or less. Medium bodied, slightly viscous,
fresh and zesty. There's some tasty Gooseberrian stony minerality flavors
in there, with a little hint of Merelin and Kiwi.

(00:47):
It's mouth watering and it would go perfect with oysters
or asparagus.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Resila all right, and a rose for spring.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
The twenty twenty three Matilde Schipoutier Arissio. This is from
Coach to Avance in France for twenty eight dollars. It's
a grenache based wine for this ninety two points, and
listeners will find it to be medium bodied, balanced, supple, mouthwatering.
It's got of white cherry flavors in there, some ginger
tea chalky minerality. It's pleasantly refreshing and dry, so versatile,

(01:17):
but I would put it with Emerald scrabcakes myself.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
So springtime is a fun time for anything, including new
wines to try. Kenswine guide dot com Connoisseur's Corner. WZ
