Drew, your mention of Verdelho rang a bell and I remembered a couple of wines from a brand-new producer that each have Contra Costa County fruit. The producer is Zumo - I tasted their two debut wines at this year’s Brumaire tasting in Oakland. Their 2018 “Phew” is Verdelho from a vineyard in the Knightsen area, and their 2018 “Flower Face” is 75% Tempranillo from Matthew Rorick’s vineyard in Calaveras County plus 25% Muscat from Contra Costa (guessing it may be the same vineyard as the Verdelho but I’m not sure). Not a lot of info on the winery website but I’m sure you could contact them for more info.
