Sauvignon Blanc
Is Sauvignon Blanc a good wine to use in cooking mussels?
Hi guys, i’m cooking a mussels dish tomorrow and wanted to do a white wine lemon butter sauce. I’m using a little bit of Anisette(a licorice liqueur) on the mussels to give the broth a nice sweetness and was planning on using a Sauvignon Blanc for the lemon butter sauce, but after looking at a few preperation video’s someone said a Sauvignon Blanc was to over powering a flavor for mussels. I was thinking it, coupled with the lemon would help cut the sweetness of the anisette and leave a nice balance to the dish but since this is my first time cooking with wine I figured it couldn’t hurt to get some helpful advice incase I needed to pick up a Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay instead of the Sauvignon.
Thank you very much for your help guys, especially Plump, I am gonna go with the sauvignon blanc and enjoy every minute of eating these delicious mussels 
I agree with you completely – a Sauvignon Blanc sounds perfect. Why anyone would consider it overpowering is beyond me. Heck, it’s what I serve to drink with mussels – why wouldn’t you want to cook with it?
I’d be most afraid of a Chardonnay and it bringing oak flavor – not appealing with mussels. Not sure on the Pinot Grigio since I don’t like it.
