We have many new releases for our Annual “Spring Fling” tasting over Memorial Day Weekend. Since we feature white wines at this tasting, it is appropriate that three of these are white wines: 2004 Sauvignon Blanc, 2004 Pinot Grigio and 2004 Semillon. Both the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are from Tom Bloomfield’s vineyard near Brentwood. Although this area isn’t noted for white wines, we have had great success with Viognier from Tom’s vineyard, so we thought we would try these other two varieties. Both are tasty, memorable wines. The Sauvignon Blanc is in the popular “New Zealand” style—grassy, herbal and crisp.
