Localism Kerner, Lodi, CA
Ryan and Nicole Knoth, husband and wife team set out to embody the love, energy, philosophy and romantics of wine. And their wines are the proof in the pudding. Their Cabernet is a total go-to for me and I just couldn't wait to share the Kerner. The Kerner is crisp, vibrant and packed full of flavor; from just ripe nectarines and grapefruits to subtle layers of orange blossoms and salinity from the historic vineyards of Mokelumne River AVA. Fun fact; they have been growing wine in this part of Lodi since 1886!
Saxon Brown is one of those special wineries. The kind that doesn’t come along all that often, that you wish you could drink every day and share with everyone you know. Well, I guess some can and I kind of am sharing it with everyone I know 🤔…
Bottom line: Winemaker Jeff Gaffner is one of the best winemakers out there. He’s truly passionate about his craft, without being a douche about it (Bonus!) and he’s just an overall great human being. When it comes to his wines, everything he touches turns to gold. So whether you’re drinking his semillon, his unreal Syrah or one of his 6 Pinot Noirs, you will NEVER be disappointed. He just nails it, across the board.
