Spring and summer evenings are certain to pair well with a glass of Seaglass Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is fresh, a bit tart, and loaded with lemon, lime, pear, gooseberries, and even fresh-cut grass. The secret to the flavors is the terroir of the Los Alamos Vineyard in Santa Barbara County. Sandy soils radiate warmth, precipitating early bud break, while cool fogs and ocean breezes stretch out the ripening process. These conditions allow grapes to develop a wonderful balance of acidity, flavor, and minerality. Cold primary fermentation and no malolactic fermentation keep the delicate flavors forward, fresh, and crisp, and the affordable price makes enjoying a bottle easy on any occasion. Pair this wine with crab cakes, scallops, or seafood pasta for a lively lunch.
They say that “life’s too short for cheap wine.” But who really has the energy (or the pocketbook) to drink only the most artisanal wines? In fact, we’re often in situations where we can’t simply open our high-scoring, well-aged, collectable wines - a weeknight, after a soccer game or when a friend just happens to pop in. Named for the jewel-like, naturally-polished glass stones you might discover on a beach, SeaGlass wines are made for good times with friends or family, when an inexpensive but enjoyable wine can add surprise and joy to an otherwise mundane occasion. They are lively, flavorful, and well-made; easy to drink and “anxiety-free” to open. Part of the Trinchero Family Estates portfolio of wineries, SeaGlass produces Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from excellent vineyards in Santa Barbara and Monterey, near the Pacific coast, where the climate is cool, the growing season long, and the wines fruity and crisp. These wines are perfect with food. Medium-bodied, full of flavor and bright acidity, they match a wide range of Asian, Mediterranean, European and Latin American cuisines.

Aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit and hints of fresh grass lead to flavors of pear, gooseberries, and tangerine. Slightly tart but mouthwatering on the finish with refreshing minerality.
100% Sauvignon Blanc was fermented slowly at cold temperatures in stainless steel; the grape must was not exposed to oxygen or allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation.
