Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc makes an entrance and takes the center ring as Monterey County’s favorite way to cool down on a warm day. With bright notes of citrus and tropical fruit and an acidity as crisp as the county’s weather, this is the local’s go-to when looking for a refreshing refreshment. The gorgeous winery is worth a visit any season, but you can’t beat the Sauv Blanc under the summer sun.
