Winery review: 
'This is an old world wine from Veneto, Italy. Northern Italy is more commonly known for it's reds, However this while blend of Sauvagnon Blanc (80%) and Garganega (20%) Is one to remember. This wine is very well blended and had a wonderful fruity finish. It will pair well with any fish or shellfish as well as vegetarian cuisine.' - Kroger Wine Tasting
My Review: I did not find this wine very interesting or anything special. The flavors were not bold and had a slight floral taste. The wine's smell was very flowery, which made it difficult to pick out at specific fruit flavors in the wine. If i were to try and guess, I would say there were hints of pear and kiwi flavor, but they were over powered by the smell.  The glass it was served in was very small and made it difficult to really smell the wine, which could have affected the taste. 

I did not try this wine with any food.
