<p>Did your parents ruin Sauv Blanc for you too?</p> <p>Sauvignon Blanc is more than just a crisp, grassy white wine—it’s a diverse and complex varietal with styles that vary dramatically depending on where it’s grown.

We also discuss the evolution of Sauvignon Blanc in the US market and take listeners through a live tasting, sharing real-time reactions and insights into what can make this grape so special.</p> <p><strong>Our Episode on Sancerre:</strong></p> <p>Apple Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/got-somme-master-sommeliers-wine-podcast/id1603608823?i=1000647570234">https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/got-somme-master-sommeliers-wine-podcast/id1603608823?i=1000647570234</a></p> <p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5JGxZyVbwJiiQ0t3lpM1Tl?si=imz8NdQ-TaCuMOPYnG9hsw">https://open.spotify.com/episode/5JGxZyVbwJiiQ0t3lpM1Tl?si=imz8NdQ-TaCuMOPYnG9hsw</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/lLyIfDzy0Vc?si=X49i2zVu-PW-F2hs">https://youtu.be/lLyIfDzy0Vc?si=X49i2zVu-PW-F2hs</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Sponsors: </strong></p> <p>- RIEDEL Veritas Sauvignon Blanc: <a href="https://www.riedel.com/en-au/shop/veritas/sauvignon-blanc-644900033">https://www.riedel.com/en-au/shop/veritas/sauvignon-blanc-644900033</a></p> <p> - Buy the wine, drink the wine where we get ours.
