Sauvignon Blanc

I'm actually going to try a few Sauvingnon Blancs. 
2008 Pomelo Wine is a Californian Sauvignon Blanc, 13.0% alcohol,  $5.99/bottle








Aroma:

Cotton, white grapefruit, white grape juice

Taste:

White grapefruit

I enjoyed the wine with roasted chicken and brussel sprouts for dinner.   The wine flavor changed by developing a bit of a bite on the tongue with the brussel sprouts and chicken. 

*Bonus:

I tried the Pomelo wine with a Palhais Button Portuguese goat cheese @ $3.99 for 60 grams. 











Taste:

Slightly crumbly texture, vanilla ice cream after taste on back of tongue, slightly tart-sweet apple flavor


The Pomelo wine flavor became increasingly smooth with this goat cheese.  This pairing was a hit!
