Peltier Chardonnay
Details
Producer: Peltier
Region: Lodi, CA
Grapes: 99.75% Chardonnay (0.25%) Vermentino
Tasting Notes
Bright and food-friendly, this Chardonnay leads with fresh peach, apple, and pear. Malic acid is front and center here — it keeps the wine crisp and lifted rather than buttery, letting the fruit do the talking. Light, clean, and pleasantly juicy from start to finish.
Cheese Pairing Recommendation
Brie. The wine's bright acidity slices through Brie's creamy fat, refreshing your palate with every sip. Silky meets crisp — and both taste more alive for it.No Brie on hand? Works beautifully with a sleeve of Ritz crackers and a smear of cream cheese.

Camp White Blend
Details
Producer: Hobo
Region: California
Region: White Blend
Tasting Notes
Stainless steel-aged for pure freshness, this breezy California white opens with bright citrus and ripe stone fruit. Light-bodied and easy-drinking, it carries just enough texture to feel satisfying without ever weighing you down.
Cheese Pairing Recommendation
Fresh goat cheese. Goat cheese's tangy saltiness amplifies the wine's citrus notes while its soft, crumbly texture keeps things light. This is acid meeting acid — and it works every time.Also: goat cheese on a Triscuit at 11pm. Zero regrets.

Grenache Rosé
Details
Producer: Shannon Ridge
Region: Lake County/High Valley, CA
Grapes: 86% Grenache, 13% Mouvedre 1% Carignan
Tasting Notes
Elegant and aromatic, this organic Grenache-forward rosé opens with strawberry, red cherry, and a whisper of cinnamon. The palate is round and generous, with a lingering, fruit-driven finish. Delicate enough to surprise you, structured enough to hold its own at the table.
Cheese Pairing Recommendation
Fresh Mozzarella. Mozzarella's mild, milky softness lets the rosé's bright red fruit take center stage. The wine's acidity keeps the richness in check — clean, balanced, and effortless.Bonus pairing: slice it over a caprese with a glass of this and pretend you're somewhere with a better view.

Vintist Grenache
Details
Producer: Vintist
Region: Sta. Rita Hills, CA
Grapes: Grenache
Tasting Notes
Lifted and silky, this cool-climate Grenache opens with strawberry, rose petal, and baking spice. Raspberry and cherry play across the palate alongside subtle earth and white pepper, all leading to a graceful, lingering finish. It's precise and food-friendly in equal measure.
Cheese Pairing Recommendation
Manchego. Manchego's nutty, savory depth draws out the wine's earthy undertones, while its firm texture holds up beautifully against the silky tannins. Salt amplifies fruit — this is that principle in action. Also pairs wonderfully with a handful of Marcona almonds and the very reasonable decision to open another tube.

Last Press Story Red Blend
Details
Producer: Last Press
Region: Santa Barbara, CA
Grapes: Red Blend
Tasting Notes
Approachable and layered, this red blend opens with blackberry, dried herbs, and a hint of toasted oak. Dark cherry and raspberry compote move across the palate with cocoa in the background, carried by gentle structure and a velvety, satisfying finish.
Cheese Pairing Recommendation
Aged cheddar. Aged cheddar's crystalline texture and sharp, salty bite match the wine's weight and amplify its dark fruit. The fat softens the tannins — each bite makes the next sip taste rounder.Strong contender for pairing with sharp cheddar Cheez-Its. We're not saying it — but we're not not saying it.

Opolo Cabernet Sauvignon
Details
Producer: Opolo
Region: Paso Robles, CA
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
Bold and complex, this Cab opens with purple flower, plum, caramel, and a hint of coastal sage. Blackberry, cherry, and cocoa powder saturate the palate with structure and freshness, while truffle, chocolate, and cassis linger deep into a long, elegant finish.
Cheese Pairing Recommendation
Parmesan. Parmesan is one of the saltiest, most umami-rich cheeses in the world — and that's exactly what bold tannins need. The fat smooths, the salt amplifies, and suddenly this Cab tastes even more like itself.In a pinch: a fistful of Parmesan crisps works just as well. Science says so. (We say so.)
