We planted our first vineyard 46 years ago so it is not surprising that some of our vines have needed replacing since then. Four years ago we planted our first Pinot Blanc, although we had previously made this variety from a neighbor's grapes. Why Pinot Blanc? Well, Navarro's reputation is based on varieties grown in Alsace—Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Muscat Blanc—so another favorite grape from the region was a logical choice. Pinot Blanc is also popular in Germany—where it is known as Weissburgunder—and plantings there have more than doubled since 2000. In Anderson Valley's cool climate the variety retains its lively raciness, making it a perfect choice for an everyday sipper; even with cluster-thinning it is a relatively heavy producer which means we can keep the price tag low for our mailing list friends.

We blended our Dam Face Vineyard grapes with some Pinot Blanc from Mendocino's northern Russian River and threw in a splash of Navarro Chardonnay to round out the mouth. At less than $3.00 a glass, feel free to enjoy during a weeknight supper with the family or at your next buddies' get-together. A tart embrace of lime, pear and mango with a touch of marjoram.
