Winter Whites!
$50 for the Duo
Winter days and holiday meals often look to a glass of red wine, BUT…there are those seasonal dishes (butternut squash soup anyone?), that pair nicely with white wines. Or, an appetizer wine. Or a wine for your guests at a holiday party (stock up!). In the spirit of all those celebratory days during the season, we offer you a pairing suitable for parties, meals, and your budget!
2023 Sauvignon Blanc – Sassy, bright and delish with oysters, tamales and soft cheeses
2019 Gewurztraminer – Aromatic, textural, great with goose, hearty soups, popcorn
2023 Sauvignon Blanc, La Presa Vineyard, Los Olivos District
Bottle $30
This second release of Seagrape Sauvignon from La Presa Vineyard was crafted to simply and purely showcase the essence of the grape. Sassy! The first impression is the gorgeous aromatics that leap from the glass with reminders of lime blossom, grapefruit and herbal and grassy notes. The lilting acidity is balanced with refreshing flavors of passionfruit, granny smith apples, lemongrass and gravelly minerality. Refreshing, zesty and zippy.
2022 Chardonnay, Hibbits Ranch Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
Bottle $30
High-pitched, mineral-laced aromas of fresh citrus fruits and white flowers are released with a swirl. Dry, racy and sharply focused, offering lively Meyer lemon and bitter pear skin flavors and a hint of anise on the palate. The wine closes spicy and tight, with very good clarity and length and a hint of honeysuckle. 92 points, Wine Enthusiast
2019 Gewurtztraminer, Los Alamos Vineyard, Santa Barbara County
Bottle $30.00
So beautifully floral, with unctuous aromas of lychee, jasmine and orange blossom leaping from the glass. Bone dry, with tangy lime, peach and pear with a hint of hazelnut on the palate. A nice balance of creaminess and vibrancy with a lingering, zesty finish.
2023 Rosé of Pinot Gris
Bottle $30
2022 Pinot Noir, Hibbits Ranch, Sta. Rita Hills
Bottle $38.00
A first sip is a tell-tale of the vintage, with spicy white-pepper notes enveloped by cherry (sour cherry and some just ripe Bing cherry) along with the rocky minerality that is a hallmark of the appellation. Pomegranate-like flavor and acidity and a silky texture interlaced with soft tea-like tannins round out this youthful yet balanced, approachable and pretty wine. 95 Points – Wine Enthusiast
2015 “Mermaid’s Pearl” Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills
Bottle $70.00
A veritable treasure chest of aromas, flavors and textures abound in 2015 Mermaid’s Pearl. A dark and vibrant maroon color entices the senses. Spicy aromas of allspice and a hint of nutmeg mingle with black cherry compote and lead to a sip. A silky texture delivers more berry flavors – blueberry and black raspberry, accented with polished tannins and traces of sandalwood. Just 22 cases produced.
Estate Grown Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Bottle $20.00
From the oldest olive trees in the township of Los Olivos, our twelve “apostles” produced a bumper crop the first year harvested in decades. These Mission olives were hand harvested and gently pressed to create this spicy and peppery oil. Use for cooking or as a finishing or dipping oil. 375ml
