About Pedroncelli Winery
“The year was 1927. President Calvin Coolidge captured the imagination of nobody. Babe Ruth hit home run after home run powered by little more than whiskey and sausage. And John Pedroncelli, Sr. bought a vineyard and winery in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Since then, two elements remain unchanged: the exceptional place the Pedroncelli family farms vineyards, and the family’s dedication to making fine wines.

Nine decades strong, we are still family owned and operated. It all adds up to tradition, heritage and a family of wines you can enjoy with confidence.”

TASTING NOTES:
Chardonnay - “Tropical fruit, citrus and peach aromas lead to juicy fruit flavors of lime, pineapple, honey and vanilla notes. The blend of the two Chardonnay lots adds both fruit forward qualities and a creamy texture. Highlighted by bright acidity, the wine finishes clean and refreshing. Drink now—no aging required.” (AbV 14.1%, pH 3.53, TA 0.538 g/100mL)

Sauvignon Blanc - “Pale yellow, brightly aromatic and very varietally correct-true to the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The clean and fresh flavors are layered with pear, Meyer lemon and tropical fruits. Our Sauvignon Blanc is crisp with notes of citrus, green apple, grass and a touch of minerality. The finish is quite refreshing. Please enjoy upon release or within a year or two as no aging is required.” (AbV 13.7%, pH 3.43, TA 0.565g/100mL)

BARRELS:
Chardonnay had part of it (10%) aged separately in American oak for 8 months, but the majority of both was not barrel aged.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The celesta, or celeste, is a musical instrument that looks very much like a normal piano, although with a smaller cabinet. You know how the glockenspiel, along with being an incredibly fun word to say, goes plink plink? Well the celesta is pretty similar, but with a softer, more delicate, and more resonant tone. You may recognize the celeste as prominent in the first couple Harry Potter movies and in the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from The Nutcracker suite by Tchaikovsky.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Something delicate, like a spring salad or making a house of cards.
