The wines are fantastic and it’s time for more diversity in the industry.

Wade Cellars Chenin Blanc
I’ve been singing this wine’s praises since I first tried it. It’s probably the best domestic Chenin blanc I’ve ever tried. It’s really clean and balanced with body and also nice acid. Drinks well on its own but also stands up to a variety of foods.

L’Objet Noir
Not only is the winamaker/owner Dan Glover hilariously funny, he’s also (lucky for us) a fantastic winemaker! A really great Pinot Noir out of Sonoma. Red fruit, spice and everything nice. Bonus that Dan also pairs his wines with tunes 🎼. In this case Ella Fitzgerald - Sunshine of your love.

Brown Estate Chaos Theory
Brown Estate has enjoyed a wonderful reputation for quality wines out of Napa for years and this Red Blend is no exception. It’s a big and balanced Zinfandel-based blend with the half of the grapes originating on their estate and they source the rest from a couple of local rock star vineyards.
