About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

Tasting - Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc


Name: Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Maule Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Shop Review: This Chilean Sauvignon Blanc just oozes with bright citrus flavors and a nose of herbs and grass.  Stylistically, it is a cross between the herbal, grassy wines so prevalent in Sonoma Country and the riper, more fruit forward products of New Zealand.  Match it with pasta sauced with arugula, pine nuts, mushrooms and parmesan.
My Review:  This Sauvignon Blanc is pale hay, almost clear in color.  It has lemony citrus aromas with hints of fresh cut grass.  It tastes tart with lemon-lime and grassy flavors.  It is slightly too acidy for my tastes and has an odd finish that I can’t place.

I had this wine alone without any food.
