Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello again. Welcome. It's Connoisseurr's Corner and I'm Jordan Rich.
Today we're talking about wine and we have the man
to talk about it. Ken Hoggins of Ken'swineguide dot com,
a terrific website. How about some Salvegnan blanc winners. You
have a couple for its.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
The first one's the twenty twenty four are gray, wacky
savigne blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand for about twenty five dollars.
Probably could get it for less. It's always been popular
with the tasting panel. I got an early tasting of
it on my trip to Florida this spring. Great news
is everybody's going to love it. And it's light bodied,
it's got plus a citity. It's bright, zesty, fresh mouth watering,

(00:37):
some pronounced limes, zest and white grapefruit flavors with a
little nectarine, pit and ginger in there. I'd place this
tasty ninety three point savignon blanc on the porch or
beach this summer as it gets hounter.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Okay, how about a second choice?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah? Next up, the twenty twenty three Quintessa Illumination sauvignon blanc.
I left a bottle of this for my good friends
that we stayed with in Florida. She loves Savignon Blanc,
and I really wanted to impress some very light bodied,
nicely balanced, delicate, fresh shows, ultimate finesse. It almost feels
like it's floating in your mouth. Mild lemon tea flavors,
a little gentle white grapefruit in there, saline limes, est excellent,

(01:14):
ninety five points. Savignon Blanc. Pull out some broiled bass,
gallops orsushi and you can't go wrong with this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Love the winners, Thank you so much. Ken Hoggins of
