Escaping to a sunny day in California…just the thought makes me smile. What also makes me smile is sharing a glass of this chardonnay, which was made with lees stirring and aging on lees for a smoother mouthfeel and added complexity.
Appellation
California, from prime Central Coast and North Valley grapes.
Tasting Notes
Rich and creamy, with flavors of pear, butterscotch and a hint of oak. The clean, crisp finish makes me think of "sunshine in a glass."
Food Pairing
Sip on its own, or enjoy with salad, pasta, chicken and lightly sauced dishes.

Who doesn’t love Italy? The history, the romance ... If you are looking for a white wine other than Chardonnay, may I suggest my Pinot Grigio, grown in the “three Venezies” of Trento, Friuli and Veneto.
Appellation
Delle Venezie Indicazione Geografica Tipica, Italy
Tasting Notes
I think the wine is everything a Pinot Grigio should be: with citrus, delicate tropical fruit and pear, and a crisp, lemony finish and good mineral notes. The acidity and body make it fresh and full in your mouth….perfect for sharing a chilled glass while people watching at an outdoor café!
Food Pairing
Perfect when you want a crisper white wine to sip on, or with seafood, salad and pasta.

For some time now, I have noticed that Malbec is on fire! My friends have come to appreciate that this varietal promises the balance of a rich red wine, with lusciously ripe, dark fruit. So I packed my bags and traveled to Chile, one of the largest regions for Malbec grapes, to source this wine.
