    I myself have always been a self proclaimed Bourbon connoisseur. I also recently was trying out different ale, beers, IPAs etc. My wife is really into wine so I am starting to do my research so maybe i can always be able to get her a gift she may enjoy other than Jewelry or the other generic gifts.

    Before wine, I was mostly into beer and considered myself a big time “hophead”. Sav blanc is now my favorite and most relatable wine. Must have some similarities with hoppy beers. Cheers!

    Bordeaux whites are so under appreciated. The use of oak with the Sauvignon Blanc blended with Semillon and body really make it special.

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  Před 3 lety +1

      I agree! And they're much better values than the reds because nobody is looking at them, or even knows they exist. They remind me of Portuguese wines, or South African wines in that respect; they're barely on people's radar so you can get them for a fraction of the cost. Thanks for watching!

      @@wine-living Because the 1855 classification doesn’t apply to dry whites, there isn’t so much hype for them.

    If you like Sauvignon Blanc try sea pearl from new Zealand it's inexpensive and it has a wildly powerful passion fruit note that will shock you.

    I’m interested in learning more about a Colombard. I stumbled upon one in a holiday advent calendar from a well-known grocery store in the USA. I was quite pleased with the crisp lemon flavor! I have noticed it’s not particularly plentiful in my local stores.

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  Před 4 lety +1

      Interesting request. Colombard is mostly used as a table grape in France and Switzerland, but it does make some decent wines. You don't really see it much here in the US. Mostly made in Switzerland.

    Sav Blanc from Adelaide Hills is my favourite. For some reason NZ Sav Blanc I find too acidic . Great video and great risotto idea.
