We continue our journey south and figure to start at the southern-most winery: Scheid.
These folks had the best tasting room, and winery set up, we came across during our trip. Even a walk through their demonstration vines. These little buds are the superstars of harvest come September and October.
Scheid outsources 95% of their grape, but 5% is retained that they bottle under their own label. The chunks of granite in their soils are massive, which could be why I found these wines to be stellar. Especially their chard and sauvignon blanc.
Unfortunately, they do not sell in Georgia. In fact, they do not even sell outside of Monterey County, but I will have my ways to get more bottles into my cellar.
