Event: Getting It ‘White’ This Summer
Date: Wednesday, June 7, 2006
Location: Legal Beans, 86 Garden St (Newark & Garden), Hoboken, NJ
Time: 7:00 PM
Well ladies, June will mark our first white wine since the WV’s inception, and we're determined to get it white…er…right! To kick off our Season of Whites, the honor will go to the ever popular, Sauvignon Blanc. It’s one of the most versatile, flavorful white wines and it’s a great companion for all kinds of food.
Typically a light to medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing white wine with notable acidity, Sauvignon Blanc offers a fairly wide range of flavors. From herb-like sensations to veggie (often green pepper), grass and hay, these earthy flavors mix and mingle with citrus (mostly lime or grapefruit) and tropical fruits, gooseberry and often display a minerally overtone to offer a very unique wine tasting adventure.
While commonly produced in France, New Zealand, and the good ol’ USA, New Zealand leads the pack in terms of quality, consistency and variety.
Cheers,
Janelle
