Whites from California
Chardonnay |
|
|
|
|
|
| Chardonnay is the most significant white varietal, produced successfully in many parts of the world in many different styles, from the succulent flavors only found in Burgundy, to the base wine for sparkling wines in Italy and Champagne, and to the ripe and tropical style of Australia and South Africa. Ever since the now famous 1976 tasting in Paris, when Californian wines beat their French counterparts in a blind tasting, California's white wines have been considered some of the best in the world. But these wines are still searching for an identity, as can be seen in the changing styles produced in the state. Evolving from the rich, buttery, and tropical style of vintages past, we now see a more diligent use of oak and a greater respect for the terroir. |

Sauvignon Blanc, Fumé Blanc |
|
|
|
|
|
| Sauvignon Blanc's versatility is evident from the multiple ways it is employed, whether as an aperitif, as a perfect companion to light fish dishes, or paired brilliantly with goat cheese. The use of oak varies among producers, and can take away from the grassy and herbaceous nature of the grape. |
