WTN: In which I try another Sauvignon Blanc

[David M. Bueker]

• 2020 Massican Sauvignon Blanc - USA, California, Napa Valley (7/7/2021)
  Sauvignon Blanc skeptic alert!
  
  Trying the Massican for the second consecutive vintage, because I didn’t hate the 2019. I don’t hate this either. It’s actually quite interesting, and food friendly. Good acidity, citrus and an intriguing finishing note that I cannot quite put my finger on. I keep going back for another sip, because I want to know what it is. Melon? No. Cat pee from a feline that has been eating pineapple? No. I finally stepped outside to our garden, and it’s lemon sage! It’s an exact match. Fascinating. Good stuff here. I might have to track down another bottle.

Excuse me, I must not have read that right. I thought you said you were going to track down another bottle.

Yes. I liked the lemon sage thing. The wine also worked with our pesto, which is always a tough match.

An old dog can learn a new trick?!?

There's hope for you, David. I was once a hater too, and the thing I hated most is what I love most about them now. Worse things could happen to you.
