Wine Folly
  • Sauvignon Blanc
    • A unique-tasting white tine with strong herbaceous flavors derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines (also found in bell peppers!). 
    • It is a wonderful pairing partner with herb-driven sauces. 
    • Notes of gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passionfruit. 
    • From page 165
Specific Characteristic 
  • This wine was extremely sour. It was a lighter wine which was very dry and acidic. It had a few green apple and pear notes. I had this wine with a white sauce pasta. The pasta made it more bearable, but I would not drink it again.
