Katie and Chris are switching things up on Pour Decisions with a bold choice: a Michigan Sauvignon Blanc. Known for its reds, the show is venturing into uncharted white wine territory, and this bottle from Brys Estate Winery has the duo in for a sweet surprise.
First Impressions: A Different Kind of Sauv Blanc
As they pour the first glass, Katie and Chris are met with an unexpected sweetness that catches them both off guard. Katie’s quick to admit it’s sweeter than her typical go-to, but she’s not ruling it out completely. Her solution? A bit of ice, a splash of club soda, and maybe even a few strawberries—the perfect tweak for a hot day.
Katie’s Take: Sweet with a Side of Sass
On Katie’s wine rating scale, this one scores a 1.0—not quite her style but not a total write-off either. She’s clear that it’s more of a one-glass treat, ideal for those who love a little sweetness in their white wine. “Think boat day with friends,” she says, envisioning it as a spritzer-ready sip.
Chris’s Take: Embracing Michigan’s Wine Scene
Chris, always up for supporting local, gives it a 2.1. While it’s a sweeter Sauvignon Blanc than he’s used to, he’s not dismissing it. The smooth finish and fruity aroma make it a refreshing option for warmer days. “Michigan’s wine scene has something different to offer,” he adds, encouraging viewers to keep an open mind.
Pour or Pass? The Final Call
While it might not be a go-to for dry wine fans, this Michigan Sauvignon Blanc is an intriguing pick. Katie and Chris both agree that it’s worth a try for those who appreciate a touch of sweetness. Whether you’re looking to support local or try something out of the ordinary, this bottle is a conversation starter—perfect for a summer day or breezy fall afternoon.
