Just right for summer, spring, and okay I'll admit it, I drink it in the fall and winter, too... Sauvignon blanc is a crisp, dry, and refreshing white wine.
You can find great Sauvignon blancs from France, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Washington, and California, and depending on the climate where the grapes are grown, the flavor can be grassy or more tropical.
Wine hunting tip: California Sauvignon blancs may be labeled Fume Blanc instead!
Pairings with food: fish, sushi, shellfish, poultry dishes
Pairings with cheese: Chevre, Monterrey Jack, Havarti
Rarely would you age a Sauvignon blanc - they are best enjoyed young, so grab it, throw it in the fridge for about 2 hours, and enjoy it at about 50 degrees.
