New Times / Kathy's Pick

Clayhouse 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Paso Robles

A great little summertime refresher, this classic variety is pure California style that’s enjoyable alone and with food. A medium-bodied white, it offers nectarine, Mandarin orange and Mello Gold grapefruit (milder than the standard) flavors accented with floral notes that make it friendly and easy to like. Pair it with salads that mix fresh fruit with baby greens, candied nuts and fresh goat cheese, or a halibut or shrimp ceviche. It’s available at all area Albertson’s for only $14 retail.
