:-) I really should have used a smiley with the "how quaint", or better yet, just worded that differently; it seems extra-douchy, now that I re-read it. Wasn't my intent (but I can be a real dick sometimes ;-) We mostly drink cheap wine, when we drink it at all. Lots of our good friends like it though, so we almost always have some Sav Blanc on hand.
You certainly live in the right part of the world to enjoy some very good, inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc, that's for sure.
I went to an all sauvignon blanc wine tasting the other day (my cousin put it together and it was free for me, so why not?). I've never been much of a wine drinker, and especially not white wine, but I enjoyed myself. Never thought there could be that much variation in flavor from one grape variety.
