Wifey likes white wine, but isn't too fussy. Normally in Canada she drinks Jackson Triggs Souvginion Blanc. She also likes a chardonay or pinot grigio. Just wondering what to look for in Mexico that might do. We will be shopping at the Cheduraui in PA.
TIA
KTS

My wife is similar. We usually end up buying some Chilean whites. Fairly good price/quality balance. I can't remember what we bought at the PA Chedraui but there were few bottles satisfactory for us.

I found that its hit and miss with the Chilean wines for me. I really like Barefoot Pinot Grigio for a decent everyday white and was happy to find it at the Chedraui last year.

My favourite by far while down in Akumal is Conchay y Toro's Saugivnon Blanc. Cheapest place is Chedauri. Leave some for me, I'm buying a case when I get there (pay double at Chomak...just sayin)

It's the house white at Tequilaville and LBV

Yep the Concho y Toro Sauv blanc is great for the money.  I also found it at Chedruari but no at Sorianna.  There are little boxes, dark green in color, of a calfornia white that I found at Sorianna for about 3.++ usd.  Its OK.

Thanks for the info on the sauv blanc.

That's SOOO funny, I was just wondering about whites down there. I've been drinking a SB from New Zealand, Marlborough region. I was just thinking today, "I wonder if New Zealand whites are available down there?"

I can't drink that barefoot Pinot Gri, blech...

I'll google it right now

But still would like an answer to the question... Are NZ wines available down there?
