Thanks for asking!  (http://home.mindspring.com/~wbalford/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/santawav.gif)

Enkidu Sauvignon Blanc (2009)($24.00)

Very good California white. Oak is used but this wine still has bright fruit flavors and good acidity. The winery chose not to make Sauvignon Blanc in the California Chardonnay style that became the rage in the last few years. A good buy for 24 bucks.

Stainless Steel??

The California style of Chardonnay is too much oak. Too big, too buttery and oaky. This wine was aged in fermented in oak but still kept it's crisp acidity. More in the French style of Sancerre.
