BTG

Evening Land Vineyards

BTG is a little project that Caroline Styne put together with Mark Tarlov from Evening Land Vineyards. Caroline wanted to come up with a great chardonnay to serve ‘By The Glass’ which in restaurant-speak is referred to as BTG, so Mark offered up the services of his amazing vineyard sites and talented winemakers to create this slightly fleshy wine that is dominated by rich stone fruit, exotic spiciness and just a touch of French oak to round it out.

5055 Solano Avenue, Napa  CA  94558

T: 877.297.4902

My business partner Caroline Styne made a great chardonnay, J&H, with winemaker and friend Katherine Strange. The wine was made at Laird Winery in Napa and is made in neutral oak barrels. They made a bright, fresh, high acid chardonnay that is free from the oaky, buttery chardonnay stereotype. It drinks like a fatter version of Chablis, with high toned citrus notes, great minerality and freshness.

SAMSARA ROSÉ

Personally, I’m a Rosé lover. I just tasted a really delicious wine from Samsara in the Santa Rita Hills. Chad Melville made a tiny amount of this pinot noir based rosé that was a surprise to me because it is actually so different from the rosés that I normally drink. It's pretty fruit forward and fleshy, loaded with strawberry rhubarb notes and bursting with freshness. It's the perfect wine to drink this spring while having a long, indulgent lunch al fresco.
