Awesome white that worked well with assorted bites at The Progress in SF. Honeyed citrus, mineral, and golden apple. First time for me — impressive!

Glorious wine for a summery day... ( even if that summery day happens to be November 1!) Delicious wine.

Crisp but well textured. Lemon custard nose. Fantastic with farm fresh grilled beer chicken. Serious business.
