What exactly is Spicy Sauvy B?

At its core, Spicy Sauvy B is a tall glass of Sauvignon Blanc with frozen jalape?o rounds acting as quirky, spicy ice cubes. It chills the wine and adds a soft, tingly heat that hits different on a summer afternoon. No sugar bombs or fancy mixers 每 just nature＊s kick and a bit of chill.

Sommeliers have weighed in, saying this combo slaps when paired with fruit-forward Sauv Blancs from New Zealand or Chile. Why? Because the pepper＊s gentle heat balances beautifully with the wine＊s zesty citrus and tropical vibes. Basically, it is a spicy spa day in a glass.
