Challis Lane Wines

On my search for a great value wine,  I stumbled upon Challis Lane wines at BevMo's 5 cent sale.  If any of you are unfamiliar with the sale, it's buy one bottle and get the second for 5 cents.  These wines were marked at the mere price of $8.99 and would be a great candidate for my friend's wedding.  They are fresh, easy to drink and who couldn't be happy with a deal like that!

2009 Challis Lane Sauvignon Blanc
Aromas of green apple, lime, star fruit and fresh flowers.  On the palate it's full of tropical fruit, pear and a light minerality.
Food Pairing: Arugula Salad with Beets and Goat Cheese

2009 Challis Lane Cabernet Sauvignon
Fruit forward aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum, vanilla and anise.  On the palate it confirms the aromas above and finishes with mild tannins.
Food Pairing: Grilled Burger with Blue Cheese

Music Pairing: Got to be there - Toots & The Maytals
Both wines show bright, cheerful notes of fruit and need a positive beat to pair.
