Sauvignon Blanc: crisp and refreshing
Sauvignon Blanc
Rob D. Brodman

Swirl and taste: Tart lemon, grapefruit, melon, and tropicals like passionfruit — even gooseberry — over a pleasant grassiness and herbal quality.

Pair with:
• Cheese (especially goat cheese)
• Green vegetables (asparagus, zucchini, fresh peas, artichokes)
• Oysters
• Delicate fish like sole
• Fresh herbs
• Mild viniagrettes
• Dishes with tangy dairy ingredients
• Herbal, briny sauces
• Pesto
