Vintage Cellar Wine Tasting - Mars & Venus Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Mars & Venus
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: La Mancha 
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $10 normally. On sale for $5.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Citrus and gooseberry aromas are mild but typical of the variety. A basic citrus palate delivers modest tangerine and nectarine flavors which lead to a mild, pithy finish showing light citric notes.

Macy's Review: This is, to my knowledge, the first Sauvignon Blanc I have ever tasted.  It had a floral hint to the nose.  I couldn't quite specifically pick out individual flavors of this wine.  I did enjoy the wine, and I did purchase a bottle.  While at the tasting I did not try any foods with it, later at home I did eat it with a salad.  The salad had a vinaigrette dressing.  It was a bad pairing, because the wine overpowered the taste of the salad.
