Henri Bourgeois 'Petit Bourgeois' Sauvignon Blanc

Henri Bourgeois 'Petit Bourgeois' Sauvignon Blanc 2004 ($)
It has been referred to as a "simple, summer white". It is.
Some have complained that the alcohol has too much bite. It does, but not too much -- it's actually bearable with a little air time.
The wine opens somewhat "stinky", which quickly goes away to reveal a light aromatic smell similar to a fresh cut lawn. The wine was acidic, higher than I'd have liked, with a bit of a tang. Not the best white for under $10, but readily available.
Drink this when you're in the backyard grilling.
