The tasting line-up:
2023 La Carrodilla Sauvignon Blanc...$22.99
Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico
The 2023 is a brilliantly crisp vintage for this white from the biodynamic organic Carrodilla winery. Lighter on the tropical notes found in many of the Sauvignon Blancs from this region, here one finds more the high citrus notes of lemon and lemongrass layered in with grapefruit, white peach, fresh cut lawn and honeydew melon. This is delicious right out of the gate but will age nicely for 4 to 5 years.

2023 Monte Xanic Chenin Blanc...$19.99
Valle de Guadalupe/Valle Ojos Negros/Baja CA., Mexico
Winemaker Oscar Ganoa continues to dial in his approach to the microclimates of the holdings of Monte Xanic and use them to his advantage. The result: stunning fruit development and excellent bright acidity that is a challenge to find in this region. While not meant as a wine to age, it will hold well in your cellar for a few years at a minimum.
