Sauvignon
Blanc BLIND
Hello
All,
While the college students celebrate spring break by heading to warmer
climates to guzzle beer and shed their clothes, we here at the "Snob Residence" decided
to have our own celebration... not nearly as scantily clad!
About a dozen of us spent a couple of hours tasting 11 Sauvignon Blancs (and
blends) from around the world in an attempt to find one we "collectively
thought was best. This is indeed a difficult task for several reasons
including the fact that wine is a personal-taste and various styles of Sauvignon
Blanc map to a variety of different foods, while others are just delightful
all by themselves!
Putting the explanations aside, let's delve lightly into the wines....
Included in the tasting in no special order:

Snob Rating scale:
Yucky -
Self Explanatory!
Fair- Acceptable but would not buy again!
Good - Decent wine or "not bad for the price!"
Very Good - Delicious!
Yummy - A rare score and relatively self explanatory
Wicked Yummy - A near sex experience out of a bottle |
Interestingly
enough, 8 of the 11 wines were enjoyed by the majority of the
group and in-fact, there was some variance among the tasters
as to which was their personal favorite. In summarizing
the results therefore, we used both the numerical value from
each of the tasters and the order in which they were ranked to
arrive at the collective results. I won't bore you an further,
enjoy the attached results and please feel free to write me regarding
any questions!
Cheers,
Steve
