Chances are, in a duel between local wines, Bernardus wines would be victorious the majority of the time. According to Weekly readers, the crown jewel of white wines this year in a county that generates bottles that are arguably better – yes, we said what we said – than those grown in more famous regions like Napa and Sonoma, is a complex variety. Bernardus’ Sauvignon Blanc is grown in Griva Vineyard, located in the consistently sunny climes of Greenfield. A glass of Sauvignon Blanc is an expression of tropical fruits and fuzzy ripe peaches, enjoyed as an experience unto itself, or to heighten any dining experience.
