Stare, an MIT-educated engineer who left a career with the B\u0026amp;O Railroad after realizing his true calling was in wine. Inspired by trips to the Loire Valley, Stare came west, took winemaking classes at UC Davis, and eventually found an old prune orchard across from the Dry Creek General Store that he knew was the right spot to plant vines. His arrival sparked a viticultural revival in what was then a quiet stretch of family farms and orchards, and Sauvignon Blanc, drawn from his affection for Loire-style wines, became a signature of the estate from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 2024 Fumé Blanc is fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural aromatics and bright acidity rather than layering on oak influence. Grapes are sourced from vineyards across the Dry Creek Valley, an AVA known for its gravelly benchland soils and warm days tempered by evening fog, conditions well suited to Sauvignon Blanc's zesty, expressive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wine opens with aromas of lemon verbena, jasmine, and lemongrass, layered with mandarin, pineapple-guava, and a whisper of passionfruit. On the palate, lime, grapefruit, and citrus peel mingle with white peach and honeydew, accented by cucumber and a touch of gravelly minerality. The finish is crisp, racy, and persistent. It pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, sushi, or a goat cheese salad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dry Creek Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46531299246266,"sku":"105023","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2024-dry-creek-vineyards-fume-blanc-dry-creek-valley-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
