I had always believed that the Fume Blanc was a special type of Sauvignon Blanc, a grape that due either to its peculiarity or some special soil conditions gave the wine a someâ€" what smoky taste. That belief was shattered recently when I was informed by a number of Californian producers that a Fume Blane is nothâ€" ing but a Sauvignon Blanc, so named at will by the producers. MY SUGGESTIONS The driest wine, and here is how you really find out what dry means, is the French Hout Poitou, Sauvignon Blanc, CSPC 119222 $9.35. From the Bordeaux Region perhaps the B G Sauvignon Blanc, CSPC 242636 at $9.25 is a good one to try. Remember what I said about the Fume Blanc, so here is my California recommendation, the Fetzer Valley Oaks Fume Blanc, CSPC 255448 for $8.90. From Chile is my final suggesâ€" tion, listed under CSPC 275677, the Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc for $8.90. There is no end to the countries that produce the Sauvignon, and proâ€" ducers from Italy to Israel and from Australia to Yugoslavia (if there is still such a country) have found that the clean and fruity wines of this variety have great potential and eventually may even challenge the Riesling as the predominant table wine variety. California also produces some outstanding Sauvignon Blanc wines. Most of them, if produced without oak, have the same full body, aroma and delicate tastes of their French counterparts. The French still create some of the best Sauvignon Blanes any anybody who ever tasted the celebrated white wines from the Sancerre, Quincy and Reuilly, can certainly attest to it. In the Bordeaux, the Sauvignon is combined with the Semillon and some Muscadelle to make the sweet wines of Sauteme. Recently, in Chile I tasted a Sauvignon Blanc that was so well made and good, that it would give any Chardonnay a run for its money. Should this wine ever come to Ontario, you can be assured that you will read about it here right away. Argentina too, has this variety under cultivation and produces quite good wines, better in my opinion than any other white wine from that particular region. duced without wood as should be the case with white wines. Usually a Sauvignon is rather dry, although there are some which are incredible dry and can be only matched to fresh and raw shellfish. I have had some others that were great sipping wines with a slight sweetness. Of course, then there are the very sweet dessert wines of the Sauterne, but only enough Sauvignon is blended there to give the wine some body and structure. NOTE: FREE WILLY plays first all week.
