2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Sauvignon Blanc Judge Family Vineyard, USA, California, Sonoma, Bennett Valley, Wine Review
One of the best Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in California. Definitely a step up from the regular Bedrock Sauvignon Blanc bottling. Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is very nice with some tropical fruit, slight citrus and some minerality. Medium bodied. Good balance and acidity. Nice texture. On the palate, this is tasty with mango, lemons and some minerality. Depth. Long finish. This is delicious on its own and will work well with many foods. This worked well with a Roasted Eggplant and Goat Cheese dish. Drink over the next eight to twelve years.
2019 Tement Sauvignon Blanc Erste Lage STK Ried Grassnitzberg, Austria, Sudsteiermark, Wine Review
Wow. One of the best Sauvignon Blancs that I have had in a long time. Light green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with tropical fruit (Mango?), slight grapefruit, a bit of an herbal touch, and some minerality. Great texture. Medium bodied. Lively acidity. On the palate, this is delicious. Deep. Flavors of mango, grapefruit and minerals. Long finish. This is great on its own and very food friendly. It would be excellent with roasted or fried chicken. Drink over the next ten years.

2023 Domaine Bousquet Sauvignon Blanc, Argentina, Mendoza, Uco Valley, Tupangato, Wine Review
Made from organic grapes. As prices on Sauvignon Blancs continue to rise, this is a sensational value. Light green/silver/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes, with a slight granny smith apple note. Light bodied. Good balance. Easy drinking but flavorful. On the palate, apples and slight lime notes. Good acidity. Refreshing finish. This is nice on its own and will work with lighter foods and even many fried appetizers. Screw capped. Drink over the next year or two.
2022 Joseph Mellot Sancerre La Chatellenie, France, Loire, Wine Review
Very impressed with this wine. Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. Sort of old school in style, but that is just fine with me. Pale golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is clean (no cat pee) and is mostly mineral driven but there is a slight grapefruit note. Medium bodied. Good balance. On the palate, this is almost seamless with a wonderful texture. The acidity is there but is part of the whole package. Flavors of slight yellow grapefruits with lots of minerality. Long finish. While not at the level of the Cotat wines (neither is the price), it is more in that style th

On the palate, this is refreshing with peach, green apples and nice minerality. Good acidity. Nice finish. This is very nice on its own and will work well with all but the heaviest foods. It went wonderfully with Dal and Spinach Paneer dishes. Drink over the next fi
