I have been drinking wine for over 20 years but have pretty much made up my mind as to what I do and do not like. I have found for the past 10 years I have taken very little risk when it came to trying new wine. I think just belonging to this site I will perhaps try different types of wine :-)

Sauvignon Blanc's origins are from Bordeaux being one of the two parents of cabernet sauvignon.
Some of the most easily recognized white wines with fresh, zesty aromas come from the Upper Loire Region at Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume.
A consistent challenger for the sauvignon blanc crown comes from New Zealand's Marlborough Region. While these wines lack the edge of the sauvignon blanc's from the Loire they make up for it with their exuberant leafiness, green sap, gooseberry and zingy lime.
The creamy, dry Graves style is grown in warmer regions like California and Australia.
The cooler regions of South Africa, Constantia and Darling Hills, produce a crisp, elegant sauvignon blanc as do the Casablanca and San Antonio regions of Chile.
As clear as the midday sun, Fume Blanc offers a light, crisp sensation that makes any food variety a feast of its own. A white wine with appetizing flavors of apple, olive, and herbal extracts. Raise your glass to Fume Blanc and enjoy every drop of its distinct smoky flavor. The essence of Fume Blanc surely comes from its seasoned concoction of all the good ingredients. Together they make the rightful blend that makes any simple dinner a dazzling occasion. The choice is yours. Do you want it sweet or dry? Only one thing is for sure, it makes a good combination with any seafood plate. Fume Blanc also helps relish the goodness of thick seasonings, sauces, and dips. If you're having stew, then Fume Blanc might be just the perfect ending even for herbal entrees and spicy dishes. Its light, sparkling taste goes well with pork, turkey, veal, and chicken.
