Sauvignon BlancA white wine varietal with roots in the Loire Valley of France, Sauvignon Blanc is now seeing great success in New Zealand and cool parts of California. It can show green pepper and grassy notes, or burst with tropical fruit and floral flavors. It is generally a food-friendly, youthful dry wine, but in Bordeaux it is blended with Semillon to produce the celebrated and long-lived dessert wine, Chateau d’Yquem. |

CaliforniaSince the famous Judgement of Paris in 1976 California wines have unquestionably ranked among the best in the world. From the Anderson Valley in the North through Temecula Valley in the South, California vineyards grow dozens of wine grape varietals that produce wines of many different styles. The California wine industry has steadily gained ground since the 1960s (the industry took a major hit following Prohibition), but its roots date back over 200 years. Major grape varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. |
