FRENZY Marlbrough Sauvignon Blanc 2008

The FRENZY 2009 Sauvignon Blanc will never convince anyone it is worthy of a place on a Reserve list at a four-star restaurant, so in my terms, it isn't marriage material. But it is a simple, fun, honest wine that is capable of pairing with simple dishes. I paired it tonight with a mild chipotle lime grilled chicken breast and mixed green salad and it was the perfect dinner companion.

It was not a companion I would compare to Jessica Biel, but I would compare it to the girl next door - fun to hang out with, not trying too hard to impress, just wants to have fun.

The "NZ" in FRENZY denotes its place of origin, but also shows that this wine has no preconceptions or misgivings about being anything more than an approachable, quaffable (crap, did I really use that word) ok, gulpable wine that will not deter you from having a great night. It will not draw attention to itself, it will only play a capable supporting role with humility and pleasure.

Having tapas, fish tacos, grilled seafood or chicken for dinner? Pick up a bottle of FRENZY Sauvignon Blanc and relax...unless you are completely inept in the kitchen, this wine can't fix that.
