I am particularly pleased with this wine from California, the 2006 Bonterra Chardonnay / Sauvignon Blanc made with organically grown grapes and an absolute bargain at 5.49UKP

In fact, I was so pleased I had to go back to the shop after the "sampling session" to get another bottle so I could record the show.
