ok, so i promised not to blog again until tom_baker logged on.....but...i have a bone to pick with robert mondavi.......i have enjoyed a wine from that conglomerate.....2001 fume blanc.....only to discover the following...today...on-line....
Sauvignon Blanc has been used for generations in France, and came to California in 1878. In the US it is sometimes called "Fumé Blanc", a name first coined by Robert Mondavi. The sales of the wine under this new name now exceed sales under the correct name. Sauvignon Blanc has pronounced flavors of a herbal variety, plus olive and a soft, smoky flavor. They can be anything from sweet to dry, but are typically very light.
i knew that i liked this wine.....and i am ashamed that i could not tell that i was really drinking sauvignon blanc.......only in america do we play the public with made-up names for food and beverages............
