Handpicked Wines Sauvignon Blanc
Handpicked Wines: bright, food friendly whites and reds we pour often.
The story behind Handpicked Wines
Handpicked Wines is a merchant style label rather than a single estate, which means the wine in the bottle is chosen for character and value rather than a chateau address. The Sauvignon Blanc follows the modern varietal template: crisp, aromatic, citrus and green herb notes, dry finish, built to drink young and cold.
That is the honest appeal here. You are not buying a vineyard story, you are buying a reliable, well priced bottle of a grape that rewards freshness over cellaring. We have sold this style to Long Island tables for decades, and the Handpicked Sauvignon Blanc fits the same slot: an easy white for seafood, salads, and the porch.

Which Handpicked Wines is right for you?
The Handpicked Sauvignon Blanc is $11.99, and that is the point of the label: a dry, aromatic white at a price that lets you keep a bottle cold in the door. The Versions Shiraz runs $13.99 for something darker and peppery, and the Versions Chardonnay is $19.99 when you want a fuller white. All three are everyday bottles, not collector pieces.
Crisp and dry, it handles oysters, shrimp, and a simple fish dinner without fuss.
Peppery dark fruit stands up to burgers, ribs, and anything off the coals.
Rounded texture and orchard fruit suit roast poultry and buttery sauces.
Handpicked Wines cocktails and pairings
Keep the Sauvignon Blanc cold and pour it with shellfish, goat cheese, or a green salad. The Shiraz wants grilled meat.
