This is OP - that is interesting bc Cloudy Bay and Oyster Bay are my go-to sauvignon blancs. I wanted something a bit less expensive since I was buying a lot
of wines and liquor for the day/dinner 😊.

Kim Crawford was an interesting choice given how cheap Oyster Bay is. And it at least $3 less per bottle than Kim Crawford.

Are you punking us OP? 😬

This is OP, and no I am not. Dcum posters get way too caught up in wanting to “catch” other posters in lies. My main point in posting was to say I more than did not like the KC wine, and I was surprised bc it was recommended by my local MoCo package store (and yes I know they aren’t called package stores here- I forget what the County owned stores are called but I’m not secretly posting from PA and pretending to be a local), which usually gives me good recs - I walked into the store a few days before Xmas and asked for a rec for a moderately priced sauv blanc to buy several bottles of for the dinner - I suppose I could have defaulted to OB but as I also said above I often want to try new ones especially before a festive fun dinner like I was planning for the holiday. I named CB and OB as my go-tos when someone pointed out the different in taste with NZ sauv blanks vs CA ones. Have I passed your test now . As other posters have said, it is interesting to hear how wines taste and are preferred by different people.

Also I am sipping one last glass of this wine to finish off our last bottle, and it tastes to me like someone poured fruit juice into it. - OP

Isn’t sneering at “basic” things a bit passé?

To sum up: you don’t like this wine, OP. That it? Did we capture it? Have we covered the correct ground?

I agree op. I do like cloudy bay though. But my go to non Chardonnay white is usually a Sancerre, or maybe a Bourgogne Aligote. NZ Sauvignon Blancs tend to have a bit too much cat pee odor for me (grassy?)
