One of our most popular wines is back! The cold Winter and hot Summer of 2010 greatly favored the growing season for the Vidal Blanc varietal.

Pairs well with appetizers, Japanese dishes, Asiago and Parmesan cheeses and strawberries. A fresh and textural wine, it is best enjoyed now and over the next two years.
