A friendly competitor of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc is a late-harvest white wine with short-term cellaring. This wine is known to be a crisp and refreshing dry wine with a high acidity and tart nose. Asparagus, pepper, lime, and earthy tones accompany sauvignon blanc. Pair it with almost anything, including poultry, spicy foods, smoked foods, and pungent flavors, such as raw garlic.
