Hess, North Coast (California) Sauvignon Blanc 2016

 This wine’s generous texture is one reason it is an unusually good Sauvignon Blanc to pair with a variety of foods.  Hints of pear and citrus, for example, make it an excellent accompaniment to fruit based salads (pear and watercress; orange, blue cheese and arugula, or classic Waldorf salad).   Notes of lime and lemongrass ensure that it will also be a good partner for many different Asian foods (try it with Pad Thai, or with Tom Yum Goong, the iconic Thai shrimp soup).
