Everyone knows I love Wine Folly’s graphics anyway and often feature them on Corkshrewd. This one is a favorite, however, for so many reasons. First, I love both of these wines and have served them both at tastings. Second, summer (now) is prime time for crisp, chilled, fresh Sauvignon Blanc. Third, for Sauvignon Blanc lovers (or people just getting into it), I strongly encourage you to try all the expressions of this grape. Touraine (the “Old World” bottle above) is classic, often a bit earthy, and perfect with goat cheese. Brancott (the “New World” bottle above) is zippy, lively, tart New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc--perfect for first courses, grilled shrimp with lime, or cooling down on a hot summer night. Please, try both of these styles--not bottles, but types of wine! You’ll see what this grape has to offer!
