Solaire is really the wine that I want to try, but the other night I'm with friends who prefer white. (Actually, they prefer jug white zin. They have yet to see the light.)
So we made a compromise and settled on a 2003 Mondavi Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting Notes listed on the bottle: Sweet, opulent apricot, guava, citrus and crème brûlée character. Toasty vanilla and spice from barrel fermentation and aging.
Drumroll pleeease... and the tasting notes check out! I didn't get the guava so much, but the citrus/crème brûlée combo was right on.
And it was such a perfect addition to our No Bake Cookies.
If you've never had these cookies, go snatch some oats, cocoa, and peanut butter (plus a tasty bottle of sauv blanc) and get to work!
What are you waiting for? GO!
