I have seen the La Playa label for a long time, and possibly have had several of their wines, but I don't ever remember purchasing a bottle. My last time to the store, I decided to pick up the big bottle of Sauv Blanc for it's cheap price. When I finally opened it, I was assaulted with a taste that was too much lemon, and possibly too much sulfite content, and I swear that my ears started getting hot. It was so bad, that I got the domain name, crappywines.com just for wines like this.

But, I didn't throw it out immediately, and sampled it again one week after opening it. Hey, let's admit it, I try not to let wine go to waste. And this time, while the lemon/citrus was still high, it was a lot more bearable. The aroma is very floral, but besides that, the overpowering citrus masks any other flavors from this wine.

On the flipside, they are making a late harvest Sauv Blanc that might turn out to be very impressive.
