The Short Take

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is the best-selling Sauvignon Blanc in the U.S. Passion fruit, grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, gooseberry, electric acidity. $12-16 and it outsells everything in its category because it delivers exactly what you want every single time.

Kim Crawford is the best-selling Sauvignon Blanc in America by a wide margin, and unlike most things that are popular, it is popular for a legitimate reason. It is good. Passion fruit, grapefruit, green grass, gooseberry — the full Marlborough playbook, executed cleanly. The acidity is bright without being aggressive. The finish is clean. There is nothing confusing about it, nothing that requires explanation, nothing that asks you to think harder than you want to on a Wednesday night. At $12-16 this is the bottle you keep in the fridge for whoever shows up. It pairs with Thai food, fish tacos, goat cheese, and every situation where you need a wine that makes everyone happy without a discussion.
Pairs With
