The 2025 Excelsior Sauvignon Blanc is just stupid-good! I brought a bottle home recently because I needed some white wine for a recipe, and figured it wouldn't hurt to have a little glass of it too. Dang, that's a pretty serious wine for just $10.99.
I looked it up online and was pleased to see that Wine Enthusiast liked it too, rating it 88 points and naming it a "Best Buy." Back up the truck on this one, folks. It offers serious QPR!
Many of you know we've been longtime supporters of Excelsior, and for good reason. This family-owned and operated winery makes wines that offer serious quality at great prices, and I think their Sauvignon Blanc is their best value.
Brought up in stainless steel and aged on the lees for 3 months after fermentation, it is bursting with notes of passion fruit, citrus, fresh green herbs, and a hint of pepper. With bracing acidity and a long and satisfying finish, it drinks way above its price point.
Enjoy a bottle with some peel-and-eat shrimp, pad thai, or chill down, screw the cap off, and sip this nicely chilled on a hot day.
