Some winemakers choose to ferment and age their Sauvignon Blanc wines in stainless steel tanks. Other winemakers will age their Sauvignon Blanc in oak barrels. Others will add small amounts of Semillon grape to add a bit of other flavors to the wine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fume Blanc is the same grape as Sauvignon Blanc. Fume Blanc refers to the smoky flavors that occur when the Sauvignon Blanc wine has been aged in oak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sauvignon Blanc is a light wine that is crisp and acidic. It is usually a <a href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/dry-white-wines\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"19946\">dry white wine<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The aromas and flavors are herbaceous, grassy, hay, citrus, and grapefruit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sauvignon Blanc is very food friendly. It is great with white fish, shucked oysters, and light foods.&nbsp; Filet of Sole, breaded and fried with a tartar sauce is a great match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">California Wineries Producing Our Favorite Sauvignon Blanc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hanna Winery &amp; Vineyards &#8211;&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #990099;\" title=\"Alexander Valley Wineries in Sonoma\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/healdsburg\/alexander-valley-wineries-in-sonoma\/\">Alexander Valley Wine Trail<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; Healdsburg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dry Creek Vineyards &#8211;&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #990099;\" title=\"Dry Creek Valley Wine Region\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/healdsburg\/russian-river-wineries\/\">Dry Creek Valley Wine Trail<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; Healdsburg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daou Vineyards &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/paso-robles-wine-country\/adelaida-road-wine-trail\/\">Adelaida Wine Trail<\/a> &#8211; Paso Robles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buttonwood Winery &#8211;&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #990099;\" title=\"Santa Ynez Wineries\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/santa-barbara\/santa-ynez-wineries\/\">Santa Ynez Wine Trail<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; Santa Barbara<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grgich Hills Winery &#8211;&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #990099;\" title=\"Top Boutique Wineries Along Highway 29\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/napa-valley\/top-boutique-wineries-along-highway-29\/\">Highway 29 Wine Trail<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; Napa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whitehall Lane Winery &#8211;&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #990099;\" href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130315004217\/https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/napa_details2.html\">Highway 29 Wine Trail<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; Napa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mauritson Winery &#8211; <a title=\"Dry Creek Valley Wine Region\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/healdsburg\/russian-river-wineries\/\">Dry Creek Wine Trail<\/a> &#8211; Healdsburg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charles Krug &#8211; <a title=\"Famous Napa Valley Wineries\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/napa-valley\/napa-valley-wineries\/\">Famous &amp; Historic Napa Wine Trail<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Round Pond &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-regions\/napa-valley\/napas-hidden-wineries\/\">Napa Valley Hidden Wine Trail<\/a> &#8211; St. Helena<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a style=\"color: #990099;\" title=\"Best Wine Bargains\" href=\"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wine-enjoyment-guide\/best-wine-bargains\/\">Find Sauvignon Blanc Wines at Value Prices&nbsp;<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Wineries Producing Our Favorite Sauvignon Blanc Find Sauvignon Blanc Wines at Value Prices&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":3669,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"ppma_author":[1885],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3683"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3683"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19955,"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3683\/revisions\/19955"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winecountrygetaways.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=3683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
