Tyler Balliet from The Second Glass teams up with Jeff Golden and Dan Parsons from Downtown Wine and Spirits to drink wine and argue about/ discuss the differences.
In this episode they tackle the:
2007 Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley, California ($17)
From the oldest winery in Napa Valley, California comes a fantastically fresh Sauvignon Blanc that hasn’t seen a lick of oak. Flavors of fresh peaches dance on your tongue as this wine begs the weather to get swelteringly hot. Drink on a stoop with friends but make sure to get a few bottles, because the first will be gone before you know it.
2008 3 Brooms Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, New Zealand ($15).
Damn, this wine is unique. If you think you’re getting your same ol’, run of the mill, New Zealand Sauvigon Blanc, think again. This guy has a crisp punch to it with a minerality that goes deep. While we hate to throw the word around all we can say about this guys is terroir. No need to spend $25 on a French Sancerre, because this guy will do all those Frenchies can do, plus more.
Tyler, do you have any idea how much you talk with your hands?! Wow!
I haven’t had the 3 Brooms, but I’ve had several vintages of the Krug. It’s one of my faves. In previous vintages, there was actually a bit of banana on the flavor. Unusual, but good.
I love this video – you guys should do this more often! Oh, and I love Krug BUT I am def going to check out 3 Brooms :)
