DOWN WHAT’S DELISH AT LOCAL WINERIES?
53RD WINERY AND VINEYARD 2020 Chardonel Chardonel is a unique hybrid grape that we grow on our propertyoriginating from the Chardonnay and Seyval Blanc grape varieties. With bright acidity of Meyer lemon and yellow apples, this wine has a more mellow finish with floral notes and minerality. Perfect for these end-ofsummer warm days, it pairs well with creamy cheeses, pastas, or even cheesecake. We’ve just released the 2020 vintage, so make sure to stop in and try some!

Whether you’re picnicking, boating, tailgating, cycling or just chillin’, canned wines are perfect for all your summer fun. Our Ramblin’ Rosé is a dry Rosé made from Cabernet Franc with lots of floral notes. Try it with BBQ, a cheeseboard or a ham sandwich while you’re floating. If you prefer something a bit sweeter try our Cycle 76, an off-dry Pinot Gris, that’s easy drinking and really refreshing on hot afternoons (or evenings). It pairs well with spicy foods, fish tacos or chips and dips. And, if you love strawberries, then you’ll love our Sparkling Strawberry. It’s all strawberry and as our winemaker likes
to say, “no grapes were harmed.” Slightly sweet and like drinking a fizzy alcoholic strawberry smoothie—it’s hard to drink just one. Pair it with a burger, grilled cheese or key lime pie. All of our cans are 250 ml and available as individual cans or in 4-packs. Plan to Visit: We’re happy to once again welcome you into our air-conditioned tasting room!
