2021 François Chidaine Sauvignon Touraine, France, Loire, Wine Review
Another great consistent value wine. This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. Light golden in color with some green hues, clear and bright. The nose has nice minerality with a bit of peach. Light to medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, mineral, and lemon with some peach coming out later especially on the finish. This is tasty and easy drinking on its own but also very food friendly. It would work nicely with Salade Niçoise. Drink over the next three to five years.
2022 Serge Dagueneau Pouilly-Fumé Les Pentes, France, Loire, Wine Review
This is a Sauvignon Blanc from the eastern edge of the Loire Valley. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is waxy with lemon and some salinity. Tight. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, peaches with salinity and slight minerality. Moderate acidity. Good finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. Seafoods and lighter foods would be best. A nice pairing would be grilled fish. Drink over the next few years.
2021 Mending Wall Stone on Stone, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review
This is a Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend from Napa. Light green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is slightly grassy with a touch of lemon verbena. Very clean. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous. Good crisp acidity. On the palate, the lemon is a bit more pronounced with a steely quality. Long finish. Refreshing. This is a very nice white that drinks easy on its own and will work well with lighter foods. A nice wine for Pork Chops. Drink over the next three to five years.
2020 Recanati Sauvignon Blanc, Israel, Galilee, Wine Review
Very pale slivery/clear/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with yellow grapefruits, salinity, and slight green herbal notes. Light bodied. Slightly creamy texture. Moderate acidity. On the palate, this has some fruit but not sweet nor ripe. Grapefruits with a bit of green. Good finish. This is easy drinking but is better with food. It would work well with gefilte fish and did go well with "vegetarian gefilte". Drink over the next couple of years.
2020 François Chidaine Sauvignon Touraine, France, Loire, Wine Review
This is from the "middle" sections of the Loire Valley in France. It is a Sauvignon Blanc that is different from other versions made around the world. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is mineral driven with just a hint of limes. Clean. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, the minerality comes thru. Nice finish. This wine needs food. It works with cheeses and would be great with chicken salad. Drink up.
2005 Château Guiraud, France, Bordeaux, Sauternes, Wine Review
Nice to revisit this wine. From a 750ml. Amber in color, clear and bright. The nose has honey, ginger and peach. Slightly viscous. The palate is sweet with good acidity. Flavors of honey and peach. Long finish. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. It will works well with short bread cookies.
2016 Château d'Yquem, France, Bordeaux, Sauternes, Wine Review
Always a pleasure to drink d'Yquem. This vintage is 75% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. From a 375ml bottle.
2023 Bedrock Wine Co. Sauvignon Blanc, USA, California, Sonoma, Wine Review
Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great but not blowsy. Melon, slight citrus and flint. Light to medium bodied. Crisp. On the palate, this drinks easy but it also has some persistence. Flavors of melon and lemon. Nice finish. This is very nice for drinking alone and will work well with cheeses or salads (such as crab or chicken). Drink over the next few years.
