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.

Lime, pineapple, ocean breezes- a little like drinking a margarita looking out on the Central California coastline. Perfect for fish tacos or heaping chip-fulls of fresh guacamole. Organic.
