About the Icons
The Biale family has been growing Zinfandel along with other produce on their Napa Valley farm since 1937. They sold most of their grapes to Napa wineries but always reserved a smaller amount so Aldo Biale could make wine for his family and friends. An enterprising young lad, Aldo started selling his homemade wine and adding it to his local deliveries of eggs and produce . . .

2023 Enotria Moscato, Mendocino, California (750ml)
About the Icons
Greg Graziano's ancestral roots are in Northern Italy, the area that is famous for, among other great wines, Moscato d'Asti, with all its seductive charms. He seems to be one of the few winemakers in California who have nailed the technique required to do this well, and his Enotria Moscato is frizzante (lightly sparkling), low in alcohol and gorgeously aromatic, just like its namesake.
2023 Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, California (750ml)
About the Icons
The Hourglass estate Napa Valley is more well known for its excellent Cabernet Sauvignon blends but they also make great Sauvignon Blanc as well. Five contrasting vineyard sources between Yountville in the south and Calistoga in the north, plus three distinct fermentation vessels provide a breadth of nuanced lots here that create layers of complexity once blending is complete.

You simply cannot beat the quality for value in the world of sparkling wine. 100% Pinot Noir with all its wonderful aromas and flavors of bright cherry and juicy strawberry with excellent balancing acidity.
