An affordable cabernet sauvignon from Sonoma County.

1858 Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles (2017)

A well-priced and easy to drink cabernet sauvignon from Paso Robles.

Mendocino County’s second most popular agricultural export, this is a luxurious — if not somewhat pricy — California Pinot Noir.

A very good example of Sonoma County Pinot Noir for $20.

An incredibly refreshing and tasty Riesling from Mosel that won’t break the bank.
