Year: 2016

Wine Review: "Green Dragon is always on the prowl for a great Sauvignon Blanc at a tasty price. She has discovered yet another.
Open Kimono appears to be a wine company in California that produces at least two wines, this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and a Riesling from Washington State. Those are some good locations from which to source wine.
The price point is appealing. It is listed at $13.99 but marked down to $9.99. My wife was attracted by the stylish label, but the liquid inside was quite enjoyable too.
Green Dragon prefers the Marlborough style of Sauvignon Blanc – tangy, tart with a blast of acidity. This delivered on all. The wine has the herbaceous, cut grass aroma and nice tropical flavor notes.
As the mercury starts to rise this summer, this is a great wine to chill down and chill out." 3 out of 5 (vino-sphere)

| Owen's General Tso's |
My Review: I really enjoyed this wine. It had a herbal spice smell, as well as a boxwood/cat pee note that's typical of grapes coming from New Zealand. It had an herbal, maybe sage, taste and was highlighted with pleasant acidity. It had a strong acid after taste. I had this wine with General Tso's Chicken from Owen's dinning hall. The food cut the acid as well as the other flavors in the wine. The wine really helped cut the spiciness of the ever unpredictable Owen's General Tso's, which happened to be extremely spicy this go around.
