The Better Half – Sauvignon Blanc 2014
The seebees from Marl’bro rarely disappoint, and this citrusy light cup of slate and lemongrass will prove this true once more. RV duty battery levels of acid keep this from a five star rating, so pair with a white cream dish like crab Alfredo or pasta primavera.

Oak Spring Riesling — 20??
Wrinkled label, plastic cork, no year on the bottle, made in Pennsylvania… what could go wrong? The only hint of Riesling is the word on the label, otherwise its got all the character of Sun-Maid.
Sea Cave Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc – 2014
Never has a label more accurately reflected the bottle’s innards, this remarkable SeeBee tastes like the ocean, with crisp slaps of citrus and salt and rope and deckplates. You’ll hear the gulls overhead and the sirens calling you to wreck your ship into their arms. If you pair with fish you may just have the most nautical experience a landlubber could lub on land. Highly recommended, if you can find it.
