2023 Sauvignon Blanc - "A brilliantly bright and fresh bottling"
This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc showcases the diverse terroir of Monterey County's Arroyo Seco Appellation. A harmonious blend, it marries the bright acidity and grassy notes from cooler northern vineyards with lush citrus and tropical flavors from warmer southern sites.
The 2023 vintage tells a tale of nature's bounty and challenge. An exceptionally wet winter and spring (40% above average rainfall) delayed the growing cycle but nurtured healthy vines. Meticulous canopy management was crucial throughout the summer to balance shade and mitigate mildew risk. Harvest spanned from September 21st to November 8th, blessed by idyllic weather conditions.
Reminiscent of the stellar 2011 vintage, this cool and wet year has yielded wines of remarkable freshness and aromatic intensity. Expect moderate alcohol levels paired with bright acidity and elegant texture.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Enticing notes of bell pepper, lime blossom, tarragon, and subtle spice
- Palate: Lively flavors of citrus pith, ripe peach, and zesty grapefruit
- Finish: A touch of oak lends subtle complexity and enhances the wine's texture
Versatile and refreshing, this Sauvignon Blanc pairs excellently with shellfish, seafood, and light summer cuisine. It's a testament to the vintage's potential, promising a sensory journey through Arroyo Seco's distinctive landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
