A really nice Sauvignon Blanc from Spain,good acid with nice fruit, long finish, more Sancerre than nz, drank with crab cakes and asparagus , $48 on Viking wine list, 13.5% abv, drank easily, would drink again, medium body, just a nice surprise.

Wow that is a good price. The wine is more like $40 in the US although I have seen it in some Costcos for less.I like your taste as I love DDO and Melville wines.

For Drouhin Oregon
I paid GBP 14.99 in Costco - less than $20 - vs $30+ here. I had a similar experience with D'Arenberg's Dead Arm, but there is no universal rule for this - you have to look at individual bottles, even within a label, to see which country is cheaper.
Pity they don't have Melville;

A nice light Beaujolais, fruity, some acid, drank easily, drank with chateaubriand, $24 on Viking wine list, might drink again but nothing special.
