Dutton Ranch -

From the old days when Martin Ray used to bottle a Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. Just something about that haunting note of Macadamia that just sucks me in -

Ishi Pishi Ranch in Humboldt County. The best vineyard most people have never heard of, though the people who follow Briceland Wines here are very familiar with it. Anyone who is curious should check out Andrew’s Briceland offers on BDay.

Interesting. Lots of love for this vineyard. A very elegant wine it produces.

And when @H_Wallace_Jr makes wines from Evangelho Mourvèdre, magic happens.

Sonoma County = Pagani Ranch
Mendocino County = Halcon Vineyard
Santa Barbara County = Colson Canyon

I couldn’t narrow it down to just one!

Add another one for Kronos.

I have several, but Evangelho crossed my mind before I could read what the sign said in your video, so I’m going with that.
