Why We Love It
Founded in 1981, Thomas Fogarty Winery is one of the most highly regarded producers of the small group of wineries making up the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. Nathan Kandler and proprietor Thomas Fogarty, Jr. work with cool climate grapes that do well in mountainous terrain. This bottling comes from fruit purchased outside their estate. This dry Riesling comes from Wirz Vineyard in San Benito County's Cienaga Valley. Planted in 1952, it is one of the state's oldest Riesling vineyards. When the opportunity to make wine with this fruit arose, the folks at Fogarty couldn't resist! This wine is bright and brimming with fresh acidity and juicy citrus notes. Chill it down, take a sip, and forget why you ever thought you didn't love this noble grape.

Why We Love It
Fred and Nancy Cline founded their eponymous estate in 1982, and are one of the most visible estates right off the Carneros Highway. While their Sonoma County holdings are significant, they got their start with Rhône varietals and Zinfandel from Contra Costa County. Mourvèdre is frequently seen as a blending grape in GSM blends, but can stand brilliantly on its own too. This bottling comes from three vineyards out in Oakley, California, from vines nearly 120 years old! This wine has a bit of tartness to it on the front, but finishes delightfully smooth and chocolatey.
