A perfect accompaniment for calamari steak, cannelloni, and veal piccata. La Lanterna is one of our favorite places when we’re in San Mateo. One of the nicest Sauvignon Blanc I’ve ever had. — 7 years ago

Earthy minerals and apricot. Lemon curd in the finish. A hint of marzipan. Lovely wine, one of the best Italian white I had actually. Love the artwork. — 6 years ago

Very nice and approachable Pinot. Different in style from the Loring wines but still well made. No sharp edges, soft and subtle fruit with a more savory edge than loring style. Well priced and definitely worth the case purchase. — 7 years ago
Burgandy tasting at Draeger's in San Mateo. What a treat. — 8 years ago
Mateo is a maestro of culinary pairing. As a former Exec Chef at Dry Creek Kitchen, his Yucatan style cuisine allows him to unleash his creativity and connect his food with some very obscure and singular wines. This Gruner Vetliner being a great example. — 9 years ago

I’ve had the hardest time remembering my new zip code even despite having written it a thousand times in the last few weeks... maybe I’m still dreaming... anyway...
It was still 90° at 7:30 so I went in search of Sauvignon Blanc. Sunshine Foods is the local grocery and has exactly the surprisingly very good selection that should be expected from a specialty local grocer in the heart of Napa Valley. I’m not going to lie, I bought this wine so that I would finally learn my zip code (even if I did let somebody ahead of me at checkout so I could finish researching it).
The winemaker is Sam Baxter of Terra Valentine and it’s sourced from the San Mateo Ranch Vineyard in Rutherford. At $19 that was good enough for me. Loaded with ripe pear and fresh, almost underripe melon, lime zest, and stony minerality, with just a tinge of honeysuckle that softens the corners. The acid is relatively toned down but still present enough to satisfy most purists. — 7 years ago
