Sauv Blanc Ginza

Sitting outside G, a bar-restaurant located in Ginza Walk in the extremely warm mid-summer evening temperatures that we are experiencing here in Japan right now was perfectly matched with the Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc that was being sipped last night. I’ve read that some think the Sauvignon Blanc is not a complex white variety and it’s boom days are deservedly over but I will continue to love the citrus notes and crispness of any New Zealand Sauv Blanc, especially in summer.
