Wine writer Randy Fuller enjoyed a glass of Westerly Sauvignon Blanc while dining at the new Honey Salt restaurant in Las Vegas, which has taken over the space previously occupied by Nora's Wine Bar and Osteria. While the wine list at Honey Salt may not be as extensive as Nora's, the Westerly Sauvignon Blanc proved to be a delightful pairing with Fuller's octopus Niçoise salad.

Why it matters

The closure of a beloved local wine bar and its replacement by a new restaurant is a common occurrence in the ever-evolving Las Vegas dining scene. However, Honey Salt has managed to impress with its fresh and delicious food offerings, as well as its selection of interesting wines like the Westerly Sauvignon Blanc.

The details

The Westerly Sauvignon Blanc that Fuller enjoyed was yellow-green in color, with a bouquet showing grassy tones along with tropical fruit and tangerine. On the palate, the wine was loaded with citrus, peach, and mango flavors, and had a wonderful, zippy acidity. Fuller was pleased that Honey Salt served the wine chilled, rather than overly refrigerated.
