Friday Night Flight: 6 Sauvignon Blancs for Spring

It’s spring (sprinting into summer), and few wines pair as well with warm weather and spring veggies as Sauvignon Blanc. Sauv Blanc runs the gamut from bright, crisp, and mineral to rich, dense, and tropical, and we’re going to try the full range with some new favorites in the shop.

Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino will be represented locally, with Bordeaux and Sancerre from abroad. Bottles priced from $19 to $70 and will all be on sale so you can stock up for the nice weather.

Sauvignon Blanc has become one of my very favorite varietals. Acidity, minerality, texture, tension, this grape has it all. We’ve got some better known names like Ariettaand Arnot-Roberts, and we also have some less-discovered brands like Desire Lines (at any given point, my favorite wine in the shop) and a brand new favorite Donley. A few winemakers may be kicking around pouring. It’ll be a great lineup!
