wine of the week
Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay
Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its exotic character – this wine is as dramatic as the place where it is sourced.
Hall Sauvignon Blanc
The alluring 2021 vintage is remarkable for its low yields, resulting in an extra degree of concentration in the wine. Led by Kathryn Hall, this week’s CWW feature!
Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
The Morning Fog Chardonnay stands as the cornerstone of the Wente Chardonnay portfolio, led by Carolyn Wente and the 5th generation of Wente Vineyards.
J Vineyards Pinot Noir
Smooth, balanced and approachable, J Multi-Appellation Pinot Noir offers a polished, fruit-driven take on this classic variety. Founded by Judy Jordan, daughter of the Jordan family of winemakers!
Simi Cabernet Sauvignon
What a better way to launch Celebrating Women Winemakers month than with the Grande Dame of California wine, Isabelle Simi! Taking over the family vineyard at 18 in 1904, she survived 2 World Wars, the Great Depression, Prohibition, and more until her death in 1981 at the ripe old age of 95!
Bonanza Chardonnay
From the Wagner Family of wines, makers of Caymus, Conundrum, and Mer Soliel, comes a great Chardonnay unlike no other.
689 Pinot Noirs
This week we cover 2 of the Pinot Noirs from 689 Cellars: Submission and Ramsay Pinot Noirs! Both from California, both similar, but with interesting differences!
