The 10 Most Popular Sauvignon Blanc Brands in the World

VinePair

Native to France yet practically synonymous with New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most popular white wines in the world, and for good reason. The versatile white has incredible range depending on where it’s produced. In its home country, Sauvignon Blanc — known as Sancerre or Pouilly-Fume, if grown within those regions — tends to have an herbaceous minerality, while those hailing from New Zealand deliver tropical fruit flavors and intense acidity.

Review: Bark & Barware Cocktail Smoker

Drinkhacker

Judging from the number of glass cloches I see on the backs of bars these days, smoked cocktails are still a thing, and consumers now have plenty of options for making these unique libations at home.

The Big Guy’s Last Drink

Cocktails with Suderman

Before he passed away last Friday, Blake, a.k.a the Big Guy, was a regular at my basement bar. He helped me hone drinks for this newsletter, which mostly meant listening to me mutter about ratios and flavor profiles. He wasn’t much of a talker, but he probably knew a lot about Cynar and syrups and Negroni specs. More than most dogs, anyway. One of Blake’s favorite commands was: “Go to the bar.” When he heard these words, he’d rush to the basement door, bolt down the
