Give It A Shot – Trader Joe’s Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Sauvignon blanc is a very versatile grape grown in many areas around the world. New Zealand, Chile, South Africa and the United States all produce quite a bit of the grape, but the number one producer by far is France, with most of it being grown in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. The wines from the Loire Valley, specifically the Sancerre region, usually carry higher price tags. Recently one of the Sancerre wines carried at Trader Joe’s received a price reduction which caught Keith’s attention. Since we have never done a show on a French Sauvignon blanc we decided this was the perfect opportunity. For this episode we will be trying the Domaine de la Vauvise Les Trois Terroirs Sancerre. Typically, the Sauvignon blancs from France are known for their Stone fruit and minerality, but since we do not have a lot of experience with wines from this area, we are really looking forward to trying this wine.
