09 FPWM Chardonnay, Now Only $7.50
It’s time to make room for our next batch of private label wines, so now is the perfect time to stock up on our 2009 FPWM Chardonnay at $7.50/bottle. We will be sad to say goodbye to our 100% Sonoma County Chardonnay, but all good things must eventually end (or sell out). We thought it was a bargain at $12, but at $7.50 it’s a steal. Don’t miss out.

'In Pursuit of Balance'
March 23, 2012
Our very own Peter Granoff and Drea Dedona recently attended ‘In Pursuit of Balance’, an event hosted by Rajat Parr, wine director for the Michael Mina Group, and Jasmine Hirsch of Hirsch Vineyards. Alder Yarrow covered the event for JancsicRobinson.com and writes,
'Clumsy. Overripe. High alcohol. Over oaked. Fruit driven. Massive. Sweet. Made for Mr Parker's Palate. The historical stereotype of California wine, like all stereotypes, has a basis in truth.'
'Like all stereotypes, however, this characterisation of California wine proves as inadequate as it is unjust in capturing the wide range of wine styles that are made in the state. And as with many such prejudices, there exist a group of crusaders who spend their time trying to demonstrate its fallacy. In the past decade America has seen an increasing number of sommeliers, wine writers, and winemakers increasingly focused on California wines that defy the dominant stereotype.'
