Sauvignon Blanc

A versatile grape, Sauvignon Blanc was brought to the United States
in the late 1800s. 

It has since become the 2nd most popular white wine - behind Chardonnay.

This wine can be from a light, crisp wine to a oaky, full-bodied wine called Fumé Blanc.  The lighter style has flavors of apple, citrus and melon and is often described as grassy or herbaceous while the full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc is more robust and complex.

The Sauvignon Blanc grape is grown widely in France, California, and New Zealand and  also grown in Washington, Oregon, Italy, Australia and South America. 

Sauvignon Blanc is extremely food friendly and goes with a wide variety of dishes.
