Sauvignon blanc?

[Badger]

I am brand-new to wine and I'm still sampling different varietels to see what I like. I tried my first bottle of Sauvignon Blanc this weekend and it had an..."interesting" flavor. The closest description I can come up with is "overcooked Brussels sprouts left out on the counter for four days". I've read descriptions of SB as "pungent"; is this the way it's supposed to taste, or did I just get a poor example? Could be it's just a variety I don't like [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
