Favorite Summer Sauvignon Blancs

I have to say I LOVE wine.  Not the super expensive expensive kind but the very reasonable everyday budget drinking ones.  I'm more of a red drinker than white but during the summer I love a good Sauvignon Blanc.  Light, crisp, and not overly sweet...delicious! 

Here were my top 5 Sauvignon Blanc's of summer (AND all under $15!).

1. Kim Crawford ($12)

2. Nobilo   ($10)

3. Cupcake ($8)

4. Brancott ($10)

5. Fire Road ($12)

I generally don't know a lot about regions but I've noticed all of my favorites are from Marlborough, Australia!  Remembering that tip is also very helpful when looking for a wine on a list full of unfamiliar names.    

Please share your favorites as well!  Cheers! 

My New Bag!

I decided to take advantage of the Kate Spade secret sale and get myself a new bag for fall.  I decided on the Baxter Street Stevie in the denim color.  I'm usually not too crazy about buying bags online without trying them on and getting a feel but the deal was too good to pass up.  Originally it was $498 and it was on sale for $159!    

Here it is:

So far I really LOVE the color, size, and multiple compartments.   The only con is that there is no zipper for the main compartment or even a magnet that would hold it together and I can see things easily falling out.   For the price, I still think I came out on top!
