Isla Sauvignon Blanc
Small batch Isla wines, hand picked for our Commack shelves.
The story behind Isla
Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape that shows its surroundings clearly. Cool climate versions, like those from Sancerre in the Loire Valley, tend to be crisp and citrus driven with a mineral edge. Warmer climate plantings lean riper and more tropical. The Cotes du Rhone is a French red category, usually Grenache and Syrah based, and it drinks round and generous.
We carry Isla in very small quantity here in Commack, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have.

Which Isla is right for you?
Isla Sancerre is $19.99 for the 750mL, a fair number for a Loire white with this much snap. Isla Cotes Du Rhone is $11.99 for the 750mL, an easy weeknight red price. Both are stocked in tiny quantity, so call ahead at (631) 343-7200 if you want us to hold a bottle.
