Tasting Notes - Sauvignon Blanc
For the 2018 re-launch and tasting room opening we have returned to Griva Vineyard to bottle a fresh & exciting Sauvignon Blanc from Arroyo Seco. Safe to say across the board Sauv Blanc is Kori's personal favorite grape varietal when reaching for a bottle to both entertain guests or to enjoy in the backyard. The nose opens with notes of lychee, green apple, light tropical fruit aromas & lemongrass. On the palate you should find grapefruit, jasmine, citrus peel & wet stone.
Available for $24/bottle

Tasting Notes - Rosé
The 2018 harvest was our first endevaour picking for and producing a rosé wine. The grapes are exclusively Pinot Noir sourced from our Highlands Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. So far we've been able to enjoy it on its own at the beach or with a salmon salad for lunch showing that the notes of rose petal, Rainer cherry, wet gravel, crab apple & stone fruit let it be enjoyed in a mix of places.
Available for $24/bottle.

See You Soon in Carmel-by-the-Sea!
The Court of the Fountains
We've found the location and are excited to be opening in The Court of the Fountains between Lula's Chocolates & Bixby Barber...just across from the patio of Anton & Michel.
Still working on some updates to the space and for some new wines to be ready but we anticipate opening with limited days/hours around the end of February or early March.

Cooking with Wine
Use a nice dry white wine like Sauvigon Blanc or Chardonnay to add taste & flavor to a great dish with shallots, mustard and braised chicken.
