| Chardonnay: The Chardonnay grape grows very well practically everywhere wine is made. It's heartiness ensures that is is abundant and popular. The grape itself is relatively neutral, but its chameleon like quality is that it assumes individual character from the climatic conditions where it is grown and from winemaking techniques. In the cool, northerly region of Chablis in France, the white wine can be lean. Here it traditionally will not see oak, although that has been changing in recent years. Further south in France in the Burgundy region, Chardonnay makes some of the finest and longest-lived white wines in the world. Flavors range from light, floral and lemon through to hazelnut, butter and toast. Warm climate chardonnays enlist oak as a larger role in how chardonnay tastes. Chardonnays from Australia and California can display lush, tropical fruit. |

| Sauvignon Blanc: The Sauvignon Blanc is a very distinctive grape variety. It gives off a very zesty, grassy, refreshing wine. The best examples have always come from the Loire region in France where they are labeled by location (Sancerre and Pouilly Fume) rather than by grape variety. As its popularity continues to grow, New Zealand has received a fine reputation with this the sauvignon blanc grape. Here the wines are riper, more pungent and delightful. California uses oak to soften the edges of the sauvignon blanc grape. Bordeaux in France also touches the grape to oak to blend it with the Semillon grape variety. |
