Angeleno Wine Company
Alonso Family Vineyard White Field Blend 2021
This is a very exotic “White Field Blend” of Galician varietals: 35% Godello, 35% Loureiro and 30% Treixadura sourced from the Sierra Pelona Valley (near Los Angeles), CA. It is another unique master piece from Jasper Dickson, a proprietor/winemaker of Angelino Wine Co. who is part of the rediscovering White Field Blends in the California while developing naturally made wines with minimal intervention.
All varietals were picked at 21 Brix and whole cluster pressed the grapes, and were co-fermented in stainless steel tanks. The result is a very rare, complex, dry and refreshing wine with an array of aromas of orange and acacia blossom.
On the palate is very crisp, with solid citrus characters and some stony fruit and yellow opal apple. As for mouthfeel, the wine has lots texture, sediments with a moderate-to-long finish. It can be an acquired taste as well.
Every vintage of the White Field Blend is completely different, the V.2021 the came out very aromatic, and some fresh wild grass and the wine as finished product is very hazy! It can be paired with seafood, apéritifs and lighter dishes. Clams steamed, Vietnamese summer rolls with prawns would a nice pairing option as well.
Also heartier as lightly-flavored cuisine can be another pairing alternative. Cheers! — 6 days ago
Comartin Cellars
Arroyo Seco Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Reminds me of the first time I was touched by an Angel. Strangers call my uncle Angelino. But anyways, this Comartin was super Sauvignon Blancy without being too super New Zealandy. Marlboroughriffic in style, only without a screwcap, from Arroyo Seco and more approachable for every day beach/pool/patio/parent-teacher meeting settings. — 8 years ago

Another extremely-limited release from Angelino Wines Co. (only 55 cases made). A rare and unique sparkling white made out of locally sourced 100% Albariño (Sierra pelona valley, CA) utilizing the Méthode Champenoise. Young and brilliant yellow hue, bright acidity, fine bubbles, sharp, refreshing and smooth and creamy flavors of yellow opal apple, grilled pineapple moderate long finish with a remarkable balance between fruityness and dryness. If you’re lucky to find it, get some, as this amplifies your taste buds like no other sparkling. Cheers! — 2 days ago
