A favorite of wine connoisseurs, this elegant white offers aromas and flavors of fresh grapefruit and Pippin apple, layered with notes of minerals, melon, and lime. Its lingering flavors make it irresistible on its own, but it’s also great with dishes like wild mushroom and goat cheese bruschetta, pizza with shrimp and feta cheese, pad Thai with chicken or shrimp, or goat cheese salads with citrus dressing. It’s a blend of grapes grown in Grassini, McGinley (AKA Westerly), Vogelzang, and Purisima vineyards in Santa Ynez Valley. It’s available online at Margerumwinecompany.com for $17.99, and Tastes of the Valleys Pismo Beach for $16.99.
