I’m calling this particular one “a gluggable skin contact-y white” because you really can’t help but glug it right down. It tastes a little like gummy peaches from the penny candy shop we grew up with. It’s tart, and tannic, and a little grassy, but not overly funky or weird in the way that some orange wines tend to lean these days.

What's it taste like?!?
Stone Fruit, Tiki Drinks, Going into Fall Still Rocking Your Summertime Tan

Varietals / Characteristics:
Riesling: Pineapple, Apricot, Green Apples
Pinot Gris: Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Earl Grey
Sauvignon Blanc: Papaya, Passionfruit, Cantaloupe

How's it Made???
75% Riesling, destemmed and treated as a traditional maceration, with the juice being pumped over onto the skins once per day. Semi-Carbonic Pinot Gris (15%) and Sauvignon Blanc (10%) fill out the rest of the blend. Wine was fermented naturally with ambient yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and neutral barrels. Blended together in tank with a pinch of SO2 before bottling.

Optimal Drinking Situation:
Serve chilled between 45° - 65° while getting ready for MF decorative gourd season

Cépage:
75% Riesling
15% Pinot Gris
10% Sav Blanc

12.1% ABV

Pork and Pickled Pepper Piccata
Pickled peppers and their brine take the place of capers and white wine in this brinier take on a classic. I like to make it with pounded pork cutlets because who doesn’t love pork and pickles, but chicken cutlets would also rock!!!!

Sour Cream & Onion Cloud Potatoes
These potatoes feature a secret ingredient, whipped cream, to give them their ethereal, light, fluffy texture. I’ve given instructions for two different ways to finish these potatoes depending on your timing.

Whipped Ricotta Toast with Green Bagna Cauda
Think of this as a turbo charged pesto, and deploy it accordingly. Great olive oil is key here, as it’s the backbone of this sauce, so choose something you love the taste of––I developed this recipe with California Olive Ranch.
