100% Grenache Blanc    13.2% ABV

The Felten family has been growing grapes for five generations in Lodi. The first four generations sold their grapes to cooperatives, but the fifth generation (Steve and Lori) realized that they could sell to prestigious wineries, then in 2000 realized their dream of making their own wine.  Klinker Brick is the name of a artisanal brick that’s used in many historic Lodi buildings.  We featured their Brick Mason Red in January, and plan to use one of their Cab Sauvs later this year, but the guests at January’s Mac Attack Tasting loved the Grenache Blanc, hence the inclusion in February’s list.  Honeydew melon, pear, yellow peach.  Aged in stainless steel.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Enjoy this medium-bodied blend with a green salad topped with creamy avocado slices, lemony grilled chicken, goat cheese and citrus dressing; olive tapenade topped crostini; seared scallops with orange salt and beurre blanc; garlic-rubbed crostini with caramelized onions and smoky bacon; herb roast chicken with truffled risotto; crispy crab cakes with smoked paprika rémoulade; and grilled sea bass with wild rice. It’s also a perfect companion to Camembert, Explorateur, Pave d’Auge, Stanser Rotelli, Tourmalet, Epoisses or Livarot.
