Summer is nearly upon us and that inspires thoughts of warm weather activities forthcoming; boating, beach, and BBQ's on the back deck. A crisp, refreshing white wine is an integral component for you and your guests. Look no further than this hand-crafted, small production, Napa Valley gem.

This wine is quintessentially European with its fresh flavors and balanced acidity. Pure, as if the sun splashed a bit of its glowing color on this wine, it appears gently straw yellow. An inviting, expressive nose of apple, pear, meyer lemon and melon gives way to mouth watering flavors of green apple, citrus and wet stone. The finish is clean and bright with a touch of banana cream at the very end. It's a vibrant wine that stands well on its own and pairs beautifully with food. Once you've tasted it, you're hooked. Would you want anything less to enhance your summer memories?

Light and refreshing, Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect summer wine. Serve with delicate fare like linguini, clams and shrimp scampi. First courses such as soup, salads, antipasto or seafood dishes are particularly good pairings. Fresh herbs bring out the best in this style of wine. In addition, the wine's high acidity allows Sauvignon Blanc to cut through the fat in cream based dishes, making alfredo sauce a perfect match. Enjoy also with soft cheeses.
