Server Wine Edu­ca­tional Series

This light refresh­ing white wine has lively cit­rus fla­vors, many with notes of grapefruit.

New Zealand ver­sions of this wine are wildly pop­u­lar and can even fin­ish a bit creamy.

French Sauvi­gnon Blanc from the Alsace region demon­strates a sub­tle min­er­al­ity and herba­tious notes. Dessert wines are excep­tional made with this grape vari­ety in France in the Loire region called Sancerre.

Cal­i­for­nia Sauvi­gnon Blanc tends to be more bal­anced in acid­ity gen­er­ally, but not near as interesting.

Grow­ing con­di­tions, as well as many other fac­tors, play a huge role in the wine’s expres­sion and can cre­ate dras­ti­cally dif­fer­ent styles.

Sauvi­gnon Blanc is a great food pair­ing wine due to the lively acid­ity. Think of patio din­ing in the Sum­mer with a cheese plate or fresh seafood salad com­pli­mented with this light refresh­ing crisp wine…YUM!!
