Fumé Blanc
An American wine term, Fumé Blanc is synonymous with the wine varietal Sauvignon Blanc.
The name was first coined in 1968 by winemaker Robert Mondavi, who made Sauvignon Blanc inspired by a Pouilly-Fumé he'd tasted from France's Loire Valley. Looking to differentiate his wine from the sweet-style Sauvignon Blancs in the US, Mondavi changed the name on his label.

So he created Davi skin care, which combines extracts of grapes and wine, along with green tea and other products that are good for smoothing out your skin.All the News That's Fit to Eat — May 21, 2008
