Why We Love It
It's been too long since we partnered with Ryan Stirm, a young winemaker who has really made a name for himself in the Santa Cruz/Central Coast area. This bottling is organic 2022 San Benito County Chardonnay, coming in at a lean 12% ABV. This was aged in entirely neutral barrels, but still has some nice texture to it with ripping acidity. Despite its Central California provenance, it feels very old world white wine in a lovely way.

Why We Love It
I'm a huge fan of the Counoise grape, the Alder Springs Vineyard, and my new friend Ed Donovan! This was a lucky find, and I'm thrilled to share it with you this month. I find Counoise to show a bit like rustic Pinot Noir, and a bottle with a few years on it like this one is impeccably smooth. There's a touch of soft acidity, great red fruit mixed in with some funk and spice, and this wine is fantastic on its own, with food, or with a light chill on it.
