Boozy Biddies Talk Wine & Spirits


Apr 8, 2020

The second noble grapes episode shifts gears to focus on the three main white varietals: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling (the outlier as the only non-French noble grape). The biddies compare the differences and similarities of old and new world Sauvignon Blanc to showcase the versatility one grape can have when grown in separate regions. All three varietals showcase vast differences in profile depending on winemaking technique and location of vineyard with an example being the aging methods used for a Chardonnay (oak or stainless steel) and the residual sugar of a Riesling affecting how dry or sweet it is.
