Markets/regions where Sauvignon Blanc isn’t popular?
November 29th, 2009
I need to know if there are markets/regions where Sauvignon Blanc hasn’t been successful, and the reason for it.
Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most popular around. It wouldn’t fail.
I love an-off dry white. Ehrenfelser, Gewurztraminer, Alsace Pinot Gris.?
November 29th, 2009
Your favourite mis-understood wine?
Fortified – Madeira
White – all of your above plus a really good single vineyard Soave.
Red – Zinfandel
Sparkling – Rose Champagne
I’m having a bottle of Cedar Creek Ehrenfelser with maple BBQ salmon tonight. Yum.
If you like aromatic whites – try Torres’s San Valentin made from Parralada grapes or go Greek and try Boutari’s Moscofilero.
What is a good German chardonnay to give as a gift?
November 29th, 2009
Long story short I’m picking up a bottle of wine – Chardonnay for my mom for Christmas.
It has to be German and I know nothing about wine.
I know she likes the gross cheap stuff like Franzia, Benziger and Sutter Home. She used to be a white zin fan.
Can you suggest a good german chardonnay along those lines?
Thanks…
Merry Christmas!
