Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are two of the most popular white wines in the world. These crowd-pleasing varieties are typically dry, offer pleasant fruit aromas, and refreshing acidity.

“Art is everywhere” isn’t just a creative’s colloquialism, especially when it comes to what we drink. You’ll find art in a morning cup of coffee — even when it’s not topped with stenciled foam — a genius libation topped with a dainty garnish, or even an ice-cold beer with a flawlessly foamy head. While this may be an easy sentiment to overlook in daily life, a growing crop of museum bars are a fresh reminder that there’s art present in all we do.
