St. Francis Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

Today, October 31st, is Halloween! While this Halloween certainly feels different from ones in years past, that shouldn’t stop you from getting your #SpookySzn on. I’ve seen a lot of creative costumes over the years (Ken Bone, a human vending machine), but the best one I’ve ever seen is a group of girls literally dressing as paprika, cinnamon, and rosemary and calling themselves “The Spice Girls”. However, if you’re like me and past your Halloween prime, you may want to consider staying in and unwinding with the frightfully delicious St. Francis Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc. This white has aromas of melon and green apple and is acidic on the palate. It’s the perfect wine for pairing with your hard-earned (or not) candy.

ORIGIN

Sonoma, California

Grapes

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes

Beautiful and bright, this Sauvignon Blanc offers refreshing aromas of honeydew melon and green apple backed by a cool minerality. Delicate tropical notes lead to a crisp finish of stone fruit and citrus.

Food Match

Excellent as an aperitif or paired with salads, sushi, seafood and fresh, young cheeses.
