Sauvignon blanc can be more than a chardonnay alternative

We have found over time that people who hate chardonnay seem to gravitate to sauvignon blanc because it is distinctly different and more refreshing on warm days.

We get that its crisp acidity and generous grapefruit flavors are palate cleansers, but on the same token the grassy and citrus attack on the palate can make the mouth pucker. Finding the right sauvignon blanc for your palate is like walking through a minefield.
