Vichon Sauvignon Blanc
SPECIAL |
WINE TALK
THE WINE: Vichon Sauvignon Blanc, $10, from France
THE FLAVORS: This wine is great for people who find California or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc too acidic and crisp. Light, creamy flavors fill the glass, along with pineapple and melon notes.
PAIRS WITH: Creamy seafood dishes, slow-roasted, herbed chicken.
THE WINERY: This wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc from the Mediterranean and coastal areas. The two climates work well to make this an exciting wine.
Cheers!
