Wine Tasting: Smoking Loon


Name: Smoking Loon
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California
Country : United States
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms.  The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind.  The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more.  This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.  

My Review: My pallet has yet to be comfortable with white wines yet. The acidity was too much for me and I felt that I need a drink of water immediately right after I had a sip. This wine did nothing to change the way I feel about white wines.

I did not have food with this wine.
