Everyone knows I am not a big white wine fan, with the exception of a couple that make my heart flutter such as Honig Sauvignon Blanc. Last night I found another white wine that also makes my heart flutter: 2005 Ferrari-Carano Fumé Blanc from Sonoma County, CA.FC has a wonderful yeasty bouquet. Its elegant buttery smooth Chardonnay-like beginning is followed by a "rougher" Sauvignon Blanc-type finish (which is proper as "Fumé Blanc" is simply an alias for Sauvignon Blanc) bringing out notes of lemon. I had the FC with shrimp and scallops in cream over angel hair pasta, and it was a good companion to the last drop.
