Sauvignon Blanc Caesar Salad

Sauvignon Blanc works perfectly as a first-course wine, pairing with lighter dishes and salads like a classic Caesar Salad. A well-made Caesar can compete with any other classic dish, and is unlike any other salad you’ll ever encounter. We have listed our favorite ways to create a yummy Caesar, PLUS we have two of our favorite dressing recipes. Give it a try with your next glass of One Brick Sauvignon Blanc. Clean tropical citrus aromas like the lemony element of yuzu jump out in the aromatics of this wine. Flavors of lemon curd, ginger, figs, pear, and chamomile round out the mid-palate. The mouthwatering finish is softened just enough by the addition of Semillon.
