If you’re pining for warmer temperatures this winter, here’s a wine that will transport you to a lower latitude. Fresh grapefruit with just a hint of residual sugar that serves to brighten the fruit character and flesh up the mid palate. The finish is bright and quite long, which will serve your “dream” vacation well. Try this with a cream based soup, since it’s still actually winter.
Decoy, Sonoma County (California) Sauvignon Blanc 2017
