Raise your glass because today is Sauvignon Blanc Day (#SauvBlanc Day)! We figured it’s the ideal time to pair this wine with some equally delicious dishes, which as you know by now plenty of our inns can provide. The zip and zing of this crisp refreshing white pairs well with a variety of light dishes like chicken and seafood specialties. Below are two enticing recipes we suggest to get your savvy on: Chicken Bryan from the Whitestone Country Inn in Kingston, TN and Baked Stuffed Haddock from the York Harbor Inn in York Harbor, ME.
Feel free to come up with your own pairings too with the help of our ever-expanding recipe page.
