1999 SAUVIGNON BLANC
Santa Barbara County
 
This year's sauvignon blanc was so special we did not dare blend it with any semillon for fear of diminishing its astounding character. This wine is truly a definer of the vintage. It must have four times the flavor of our 1998 (which is a delightful wine) and close to twice the acidity level! Aromatically, it is full of fresh herbs and the essence of grapefruit. If the sauvignon blanc wines of the Loire Valley grab you, check this out. Limited.
 
 
1999 VIN GRIS
California
 
No one seems to take rosé wines seriously, but I love them. Every bit of effort that goes into our other wines also goes into this wine. Although it is a lot of work to make a rosé right, I do it because there is nothing better in life than sitting down to a simple summer lunch accompanied by a cool glass of this pink nectar. Very limited.
