I recently offered to make the wine for my son\u2019s wedding in 2011. It will be an August east coast wedding, probably temperatures and humidity in the 90\u2019s. A Sauvignon Blanc may prove to be quite a cooling, crisp and refreshing wine for a wedding. I was hoping to avoid the green vegetables and cut grass or hay that some Sauvignon Blancs offer. After tasting many Sauvignon Blancs in Suisun Valley, Lake County and Napa, I was pleased to find good citrus aroma and taste with crisp fruity finishes.<\/p>\n<p>Today I tasted a Sauvignon Blanc that really caught my attention. There was pineapple on the aroma and taste followed by citrus. The crisp finish had a good lemon aftertaste. This would make a wonderful wedding wine. What was more amazing to me is that this wine was at Caymus. I didn\u2019t expect this. To me Caymus had been synonymous to Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. The Caymus Sauvignon Blanc is only available at the winery in Rutherford, California. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll continue to search for Sauvignon Blancs that may make a good wedding wine. Of course Kevin and Brittany need to do their own searching for a taste profile that they like. Then I\u2019ll need to figure out where to find the grapes. I certainly wouldn\u2019t mind making a Sauvignon Blanc similar to Caymus\u2019. <\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"An Amazing Sauvignon Blanc\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/06\/an-amazing-sauvignon-blanc\/\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am paying particular attention to tasting Sauvignon Blancs while in California.
