I ate plenty of thick-skinned, giant pomelos in my youth, but it wasn't until Aspen this Summer that I had my first taste of Pomelo wine. Ever since, the refreshing white has been my go-to everyday Sauvignon Blanc.
Produced by California's Mason Cellars, Pomelo is made entirely out of Sauvignon Blanc grapes — but with its effervescent, citrus-peel aromas and pineapple flavors, the wine could've fooled me into thinking it had real fruit.
My favorite part? At $10 a bottle, I never have to think twice about picking up as many bottles as I want at my neighborhood wine store. Have you ever tried Pomelo? What other Sauvignon Blancs do you prize for their extreme value?

You convinced me.
1I recently discovered Pomelo as well and couldn't agree more that it's a great go-to wine!
2I've had this a ton of times as well.
3Nobilo -- delicious and also well priced!
4It's pretty generic but easy to drink. It would be a good wine to have at a BBQ with a bunch of people who really do not know or appreciate amazing wine. They will be impressed with this bottle.
