Andretti Sauvignon Blanc 1997

This delightful wine combines the complexity of fresh fruit with a light, crisp feel to create a wine that can be enjoyed by itself, but is also wonderful with food. It has floral, tropical overtones, leaning more towards pineapple than overt herbaceous qualities. While the majority of the wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the crisp character, a portion is aged in oak barrels to add a measure of complexity that sets it apart from other Sauvignon Blancs. Food Pairings: One of the most versatile wines with food, it pairs nicely with mild cheeses, light appetizers, pastas and salads, as well as such diverse foods as shellfish, light seafood dishes, Asian-inspired recipes, pork, veal and even ham.
