Why this is perfect

Life isn't black and white. Sometimes you want a fish and salad for lunch; other times you want the fried chicken. You want to read a book, but you also want to sit by the pool doing nothing.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is soft and juicy but also fresh enough to keep you coming back for more. It's interesting enough to keep you searching for aromas, but easy enough to sip mindlessly. It is the ultimate chameleon.

About the Wine

This wine was made by Matt Praetzel.


Matt is a négociant, which can mean many things in the wine world but in his case it means he's a wine scout and master blender. He maintains relationships with mom and pop winemakers who make good stuff, then goes through a mental map of what resources he has at his disposal to make the wines even more beautiful. Then he does that.

He started his career at a famous company with a foot on the bottle, but has since evolved into making much more premium wines. He's a private dude, so your best chance of finding his stuff will be right here.

This wine was made by Matt Praetzel.

We bought this from our wine Alchemist/Potion Master in Ukiah, CA, who admittedly sources base wines from down-and-dirty mom & pop wineries and blends them to achieve more beautiful expressions of the wines.

This figure in the wine industry is called a Négociant, and its sneered at a bit by “true wine guys” because they tend to fetishize the winemakers and prefer people who do everything from planting to growing the vines to picking it, vinifying it, bottling and labeling it and leaving the “dirty” selling part to others. The reality, however, is that they are essential figures in the wine world and most of the big Champagne houses, for example, are "Négoces" who buy base wines from winemakers in Champagne and then blend them and do the secondary fermentation (i.e. carbonation) at their Châteaus.

This wine is bottled in clear conventional bottles, which you're not really supposed to do because light can ruin wine, but nobody buys white wine in dark bottles so we just store it somewhere dark.

It is a rounder style of Sauvignon Blanc, so it’s very pair-able with food - salads, fish, anything Mediterranean really. I found this wine in wine classifieds and expected it to be shit, and was very happy when I tasted it to see that it was not.

    This is such a solid white wine for 25 bucks. Not too acidic and has this really nice fruity taste. Nothing like a new zealand sauvignon though if that's your thing
