Does anyone know of any dry muscat wines produced on the west coast?
TIA
Patricia Green for one.

Belle Pente and Eyrie make a tiny amount, but you pretty much have to get it directly from the winery.

Navarro’s is fantastic.
Is Claiborne & Churchill still in business?
It truly is.
Yep.
Best, Jim
Couldn’t agree more re Navarro
Another vote for Navarro.
Thanks Everyone
Heidi Barrett makes a dry muscat that is very good under her la sirena label
Oh, and if you place an order at Navarro I’ll put in a rec for my other favorites from them - their 2 grape juices (pinot noir and gewurtztraminer) and their late harvest cluster select sweet wines.
Navarro sets the standard in the USA.
Yep, we do. Muscat Ottenol from vines planted in 1982. Cranked out 189 cases in 2012. Do not have access to the fruit in 2013 however.
I’m a fan of the Belle Pente version.
Yes, very cool bottle. While I enjoyed this wine the few times I have had it, it does have a little more sweetness to it that the Navarro. Not a bad thing at all, just a different style.
Thumbs up to both PGC and Belle Pente. Brian has a bit of an Alsace thing going, with nice cross-over character to his pinot gris and gewurtz too.
