Charles Krug 2007 Sauvignon Blanc

This year, it's pretty wise to stay in for V-day, unless you want exorbitant menu prices and crazy couples next to ya (See the amusing sfgate.com article).

Instead of wining and dining extravagantly, why not cook at home and get some quality wine without breaking the budget? Napa's Charles Krug has a nice, bright 2007 Sauvignon Blanc for $18. If you join their wine club it's only $14.40.

Tropical and crisp (notes of guava, grapefruit, and melon), this gold medal winner is a friendly one to get for a party or an intimate dinner. This is straight from Napa Valley's oldest winery, which grows their grapes organically. Very drinkable by itself or with many dishes.
