Decoding Sauvignon Blanc: A Deep Dive into Terroir, Acidity and, of course, Attitude! This week, Zena and Renée go full Sauvignon Blanc with five glasses, five regions and a lot of laughter. Joined by special guest Margaret Sheridan, the trio tastes through a lineup that proves just how wildly expressive this grape can be.
From the crisp mountain minerality of Glen Manor (Virginia) to the ocean-kissed texture of Saltbird “Migratus” (Long Island) to the vibrant coastal energy of Kumusha (South Africa) every pour tells a story.
Along the way, they explore: The parentage of Sauvignon Blanc and how it gave birth to Cabernet Sauvignon. The difference between thiols and methoxypyrazines (aka: why your wine smells like gooseberry or grass. Fermentation styles: stainless vs oak, lees vs no lees. Old World vs New World expressions
It’s part wine class, part comedy and 100% Sauvignon.
