What Makes a White Wine so Great?
I don't know much about sharks, but I do know a little about great white wines.
At Unionville we offer some amazing dry whites, including award-winning single vineyard Chardonnays.
We also have a great off-dry white. I see a lot of folks turn up their noses when they hear off-dry or semi-sweet. I'd like to ask you to think again.
Think about it in terms of lemonade: When there's too much sugar, it's cloyingly sweet. When there's too much lemon, it's just too tart. When the sugars and acids are in balance, it's bright and delicious.
Next time you try an off-dry white, like our Heritage White, think of that!Leave a comment

The Best Wines are the Ones You Fight For
We picked from 5am that day until a little past midnight, almost 19 hours of harvesting. The pick was only interrupted for bathroom breaks, pizza, and eventually some beers to keep morale high. I think the high morale beer was Miller High Life, although the details are fuzzy and it would only have been selected ironically. It was the most tenacious day I can recall in the field here. We picked nearly 10 tons from three different vineyards, finishing with the Pheasant Hill Chardonnay. We saran wrapped the bins during transport and weighing back at the winery as Ophelia's first raindrops splashed down just after midnight.
