It’s California Wine Month and we had the pleasure of drinking a killer bottle of Sandlands Chenin Blanc from Tegan Passalacqua at one of our favorite NYC restaurants @mareanyc. A warm yet refined take on one of France’s great grapes!

He served as a naval fireman in the South African military. He's competed in trials motorcycle competitions in Scotland. And last week, winemaker Jon Berlin put both of those skills to good use in the firefighting effort in Napa. sfchronicle.com/wine/article/T…

Shout out to the work that MorganTwainPetersonMW Tegan Passalacqua and the HVS are doing here. So many interesting parallels to what we're working on at Tablas Creek come out in this story!

Wine gets better with age. Whining gets old real quick.
