2006 "No" Sauvignon Blanc Lake County California

I couldn't have thought of a more apt name for this wine than no. It has many positive things about it: "No oak aging. No cork. No maloactic fermentation. No attitude. No kidding," but it's ironic that this wine is basically a marketing gimmick, because it's trying not to be. I purchased this wine for 7$ at Whole Foods because I needed a cheap un-oaked white to use in risotto. I don't normally buy wine at Whole Foods because it's REALLY expensive. I remember buying a bottle of 2002 Gaja Ca'Marcando at Costco for 52$ and seeing it at Whole Foods for 70$. Ouch. What a rip off (although there are lots of things that I do buy at Whole Foods because you can't get them anywhere else. Dry-aged beef, heritage pork, heritage chickens, good fish (ever bought fish at Ralph's? Yech.), certain types of produce...). Anyways--this wine is awful. It's has a slightly grassy nose, and it tastes like sugar water with a dash of lemon. This is the worst wine that I've had in a long time. I'm sad that there are people that will think that this wine is a good expression of Sauvignon Blanc. I don't see how if you'd had a good Sancerre or Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc that you wouldn't just dump this swill down the drain in disapointment. And 7$? I've had better Sauvignon Blanc from TJ's for 2.99. Shame on you Whole Foods wine buyer--have you no sense of what a good sauvignon blanc is? It was fine to cook with...just not to drink. F
