- 08 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough): With those tropical fruits, this is NZ SB with a big, fun Hawaiian shirt and a sun hat. #

Well, it's one of my faves at the moment ;-). It happened to be the first thing that came to mind when I tasted some of those LI wines. The fruit wasn't fat, but it wasn't thin either, so… svelte!
