Jasmin and I took a journey into the unknown with a bottle of Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc 2010 from Sainsbury's. They have it on special offer at £4.65, which is nice. We bought a bottle to go with the risotto Jasmin made with a Sainsbury's TTD Coquina squash. (On a side review: don't bother with theses more expensive squashes, they are watery and rather bland compared to regular butternut)
Anyway, back to the wine. This is a lovely drop, especially when served very well chilled. And I mean VERY well chilled. I slung the bottle into the freezer compartment of my mini-fridge and by supper time it was crisp and smooth as a new tenner!
Tasting notes are spot on: Refreshing, Light bodied, with zesty peach, citrus fruit and gooseberry flavours. We also noticed some elderflower in there which we enjoyed immensely.
I must say, CdD wines have never disappointed and we will be looking to try more in the future.
