For those that welcome specialty tinned fish

but this year they included more Northern Italian varieties such as Montepulciano and Sangiovese

This thin skinned variety is characteristically pale in color

Both wines are light-bodied reds with bright acidity with a knack for food pairings

Populis | Sauvignon Blanc Women Winemakers Steve Matthiasson and his wifePlanted in the late 40s, this Sauv Blanc comes from vineyards that have been dry farmed organically since its inception. Its the definition of chilled out. Fresh and zippy acidity meets a satiny texture think guava, key lime, and lemon balm, with a whisper of grassiness and just a hint of green pepper, softened and mellowed by time. Theres a flirtatious tropical note, but it never shouts; instead, it dances lightly. Its like a Loire Valley classic
