Love the crispness of Sauvignon Blanc? We recently tried 90+ Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Lot 222 and were surprised at its elegant aromatics with lime, grapefruit, and herbal notes on the nose, which continued on the palate for a clean, crisp, and delectable finish. With a price of around $14/bottle for French Bordeaux, which tastes much more expensive, it makes a perfect summer everyday wine. We paired 90+ Cellars Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc with our recipe for Luxury Experience – Stuffed Clams for an easy and delicious appetizer. Cheers!

Bottle Notes: “White wines of Bordeaux are often overshadowed by their illustrious reds, but this refreshing Sauvignon Blanc may change your opinion. This wine is made from grapes harvested from select vineyard sites and fermented under cool temperatures to preserve its lively aromatics. It’s both “refreshment” and “refinement” in a glass.”
Tasting Notes: The light is pale yellow, lime, grapefruit and herbal notes elicit enticing aromatics on the nose that follow through on the palate for an elegant and delectably refreshing crisp finish.
Pairing Suggestions: Cheeses, Seafood, Shellfish.

Pro-Tips: We like to use mushrooms added to the clams, as they act like little sponges and absorb the flavors of garlic and clam juice. Spray the inside of the clam shells before filling, so that the filling will lift out easily once baked.
Method: Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the EVOO, then add mushrooms, garlic, and salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender. Add the clams and wine and simmer for 10 minutes to let the mushrooms absorb the rich flavors. Add the breadcrumbs and cheese and stir to thoroughly combine. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of filling to each clam shell and place on a baking sheet. Once all shells are filled, lightly spray the filling with EVOO. Bake for about 15 minutes until the mixture is heated through and starts to bubble.
Presentation: Present the stuffed clams on a plate with half lemon and garnish with fresh parsley.
About Ninety Plus Cellars
“In 2009, 90+ Cellars founder Kevin Mehra set out on a mission to make the world’s best wines more affordable and accessible to all. His idea was built on the understanding that many wineries around the globe — even the most highly acclaimed ones — consistently produce more wine than they can sell under their own top labels. This was especially true at the time due to the economic recession. Kevin brought on Wine Director Brett Vankoski, and together they started to seek out wineries that had a history of high (90+ point) ratings. They gave these wineries the opportunity to sell more wine, while in turn, giving wine lovers access to these acclaimed wines at better prices. The only caveat was that 90+ Cellars couldn’t divulge the names of the wineries and vineyards. The concept worked, and our label started to take off.
Over the years, we have developed relationships with hundreds of amazing wineries all over the world. These partnerships allow us to offer a highly selective, global collection of wines we know you’ll love; from everyday classics to more premium selections. And we never stop searching for new wines, always striving to make it easy for people to explore, discover and fall in love with great wine.”
