From the Wall Street Journal
Dow Jones Wine Index
"The Dow Jones Inexpensive White Bordeaux Index In a tasting of white Bordeaux from the 2006-2008 vintages that cost $25 or less, these were our favorites. While there are many white Bordeaux wines on shelves, it's impossible to know which you might see. In general, we would buy them young. These are terrific with seafood, chicken, grilled vegetables and anything in cream sauce. When shopping for white Bordeaux, Graves is a good appellation to look for, and so is Pessac-Léognan, which is an especially choice area of Graves; wines from those places might be more expensive than basic white Bordeaux, however. Serve chilled, but let the bottle warm on the table and you'll sense extra complexity in many of the wines as their crispness is replaced with a kind of earthy soulfulness." -- Wall Street Journal
It is very seldom we have something on their list -- we got the #1 wine!
Their #1 pick...
2007 Chateau Graville-Lacoste...$15.99
"Château Graville-Lacoste 2007 (Graves). Very Good. Best of tasting. Mouthwatering. Lime, mango, grapefruit and sunny acidity, with a nice, round weightiness to it and a tiny hint of honey. Long, fruity finish. Complete."

It is always been one of our favorites from the original small, hands-on, importer---Kermit Lynch.
