Why We Love It
Excited to team up once more with Branden Hamby on this 2020 Cienega Valley Chardonnay from the Eden Rift Vineyard. Late last year we sold a Pinot Noir Branden made from this same site, and it was sensational. This Chardonnay is no different, and reinforces how much impact site can have on a bottle of wine, no matter the varietal. This wine was aged in 33% new oak, providing softness without too much butter. The wine is textured, deeply yellow despite its youth, and drinking fantastically now and for years to come.

Why We Love It
We were fortunate enough to snag a bit more of this 2019 Santa Clara Valley Petit Verdot that we released last summer. Taking a break from the light reds of the recent past, we're going big and bold this month. Petit Verdot is typically a blending grape in Bordeaux, but can stand out beautifully on its own. Though this is a full-stop full-bodied wine, it's interesting to see how the tannins have softened some with another year of age under its belt. Enjoy this with anything fresh off the grill!

Tourist has totally changed the way I feel about wine
Tourist has totally changed the way I feel about wine. I'm never struggling to pick wine at a corner store last minute and I'm always confident that I'm pouring quality wine for my friends (at a great price!)

Tourist gives me the ability to experience new wines from all over the West Coast without ever having to leave San Francisco
Whether taking a break from our busy lives with the monthly release parties or finding a new favorite wine to share with friends, Tourist gives me the ability to experience new wines from all over the West Coast without ever having to leave San Francisco. Their knowledge of the wines, the intimate tasting locations, and the ever-changing wine options leave my friends and I always looking forward to the next month's party!

I highly recommend giving this a try – it isn't a stodgy wine club but a nice fun way to explore a bit.
I got a monthly 3-bottle subscription to Tourist a few months ago. So far I've been tremendously satisfied. It is fun to explore lesser known grape varieties that I would be unlikely to try under other circumstances and I enjoy the personal touch of the delivery options (including pick up parties!). I highly recommend giving this a try - it isn't a stodgy wine club but a nice fun way to explore a bit.
