Picnics and white wines seem so ying and yang. Although a good bottle of wine is timeless, during the warm months of the year, there's something refreshing about a bottle of white wine. As for the type of white wine, I personally prefer Sauvignon Blanc. The infusion, of citrus notes, a snappy dryness, culminated with fruity notes is absolutely mouthwatering.

So, if you're planning an ethereal picnic for two, below  are three sauvignon blancs from three different wine regions:

After visiting the Marlborough wine country in New Zealand, I have become impartial to their Sauvignon Blancs. With it being the region's specialty, it does not disappoint. If you're looking for an irresistibly fruity yet crisp white wine, the Allan Scott winery is a find.  

Now for a complex culmination of grapefruit, citrus notes punctuated with a crisp taste, Fume Blanc is another name for Dry Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented in the classic French Sancerre style, this vintage is delightful for those who like a crisp wine without the undertones of oak. 

For a refined Sauvignon Blanc from the region of Loire, France, Pascal Jolivet presents a smooth blend of lime peels, black currant and green herbs.

Whatever you decide to consume or imbibe on your picnic this summer, keep the wine and food pairings simple -- and don't forget to pack the cooler with enough ice.
