Wines by grape

Biodynamic farmer/gifted winemaker Gina Hildebrand makes some of my favorite American wines on the planet. This is her dazzling Cali version of the classic white blends from Cheverny in the Loire. 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Chardonnay.

A big basket of fresh tropical fruit and a sprawling lawn of green grass. Uncomplicated, addictive, and great with nachos.

I highly suggest you make this cocktail:

    1 part White Port

    1 part Tonic

and ice, lemon, and mint or, drink this alone as an aperitif!

This good lookin' liter bottle is just as good on the inside. Made by a team of women in Tuscany, this fresh Grenache blend goes with anything. Biodynamic.
