Tasting- Decoy Sauvignon Blanc

 Name: Decoy Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Sonoma County, California

Country: USA

Year: 2021

Price: $16.99

Winery Review: This has good intensity to the yuzu, pomelo, and fresh ginger notes, with a touch of tangerine and crunchy Honeycrisp apple on the finish. (via wine.com)


Wine Folly: Passionfruit, white peach, grapefruit, honeydew, gooseberry. ( page 165)

My Review: This is typically my go-to white wine. This time I did not pair it with food, but I commonly like to pair it with seafood or anything light. The aromas of this wine remind me of various citrus and fruits. While I do not agree with the wine.com review taste of yuzu, I do taste the ginger notes. Other than ginger it has a powerful citrus taste that I enjoy.

personal experience with wine

    Welcome to my wine blog, where I am excited to share my personal journey and discoveries in the world of wine. While I may not boast an extensive background in wine, my interest in the subject has been piqued through experiences that have created a growing appreciation for the work that goes into every bottle.


    My knowledge of wine is relatively sparse, but I enjoy learning about it. My first official intro to the world of wine tasting was in Paris, France. Experiencing wine tastings in Paris definitely helped spark my interest in the beverage. During these tastings, we got to try different red and white wines that are native to French regions. These tastings were not only interesting but also an introduction to the rich culture behind the history of winemaking.


    Growing up with a father who is a wine enthusiast has certainly influenced my perspective. Conversations around the dinner table often revolved around wine and wine pairings. Despite being surrounded by this wine wisdom, I find myself not knowing all that there is out there. I have tasted some exceptional wines in my life, leaving me with a desire to understand the complexities that contribute to their taste.
