We met with a group of Howard County residents to have a relaxing conversation during the very late afternoon. Conversations covered many topics including references to a recently started book club that had just met earlier to discuss Wallace Stegners\u2019s <i>Crossing to Safety<\/i>. Information was shared about wine, gardening (including Aerogardens) and shopping online.<\/p>\n<p>While we talked we ordered beverages and different foods. Many people ordered the delicious looking pizzas, gourmet soft pretzels or taco chips. Beverages included cocktails and wines.<\/p>\n<p>Terry and I ordered the Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was a light yellow color. The wine was light, fruity and refreshing. The Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc at Union Jack was $8 per glass.<\/p>\n<p>Since I enjoyed the wine I decided to check it out online and discovered that Total Wine has the wine available for $6.97 for a 750ml bottle and $14.99 for 1.5L<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Sauvignon Blanc Monkey Bay winery produces: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Ros\u00e9 and Merlot. Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monkeybay.co.nz\">Monkey Bay website<\/a> where you will discover the legend of Monkey Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n<p>Kathy<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Monkey Bay's Sauvignon Blanc\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=13046\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovering a delicious New Zealand wine at a local restaurant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[3639,1016,136,98],"class_list":["post-13046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-taste-of-wine","tag-monkey-bay","tag-new-zealand","tag-sauvignon-blanc","tag-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13046"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13049,"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13046\/revisions\/13049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
