Comments on: Sauvignon Blanc = India Pale Ale http://drinkwiththewench.com/?p=1216 Drinking through the world, one beer at a time.

Loire Sauvignon Blanc works with seafood and veg because of its high acid, non-obtrusive personality. IPA, by definition, is an aggressively aromatic bitter beer. The heaviest of barrel-fermented Graves lacks the palate-marring bitterness of IPA. Food-wise IPA is a turd in the punch bowl.

It's definitely not your average brew - but that is what makes it so special :) Thanks for the great comments! I feel like you just patted me on the back - virtually.

I liked the post, with the history of the two and comparison between the procedures to produce their tasting notes, and completely agree. I prefer the more citrus-heavy ones for that pizzazz while you drink, especially if it's more sour or bitter, that really snaps your attention and reminds you you're drinking something quite nice.
