MOUTHFUL (AND FEEL)…OF PLEASURE
Verve 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Paso Robles, Ca
Risqué, being the pleasure seeker that he is, loves the sensual pleasures that wine can bring…from the visual attractive label (or maybe not), to the various sensual components of the aromas that spark memories from the simple to the erotic and on to the feel and taste that come while swirling the wine in the mouth. And yes, Risqué does spit…or at least most of the time. When it came to Verve’s 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Risqué definitely swallows.
With attraction in mind the ’06 displays a bold impressionistic label with a lovely pale moonlight color shimmering inside. The erotic nose reminds one of sweet white flowers with summer citrus while the taste is rocking steely citrus which whips up surprising tangy notes of grapefruit, lime and tangerine followed by juicy apple and honeyed pear as it reclines.
Being of a pleasure seeking mind, Risqué would pair the Verve 2006 Sauvignon Blanc with a tongue tantalizing saffron shrimp, grapefruit and avocado salad. This match is perfect for the hot, sultry and seductive pleasures of the long days of summer.
In this sometimes not always pleasurable world… one must reach out like Risqué and seize gratification, when at hand… especially if it’s pleasure… filled with Verve!
