With its refreshing acidity, Dry Creek’s “Fumé Blanc” can be a delicious accompaniment to a meal. In the same way that a squeeze of fresh lemon can lift certain foods like, say, grilled salmon, to a new, more interesting and savory realm, this white wine likewise adds zing and brings out the flavors of a variety of foods, from curries to seafood. Small amounts of Sauvignon Musqué and Sauvignon Gris contribute to the wine’s savory and tropical fruit flavors (pineapple, peach, mango). This refreshing and palate pleasing wine is also kind to the wallet.
