Over +400 wines were submitted to this year's California Signature Wine Awards Competition, and our 2023 GSM Red Blend won BEST RED BLEND! We also won 3 Gold medals in addition to the Best Red Blend Award - one of which being the NEW 2025 "Pink Pearl" Rosé of Grenache! And if that wasn't enough... the 2023 GSM won BEST RED at Livermore Valley Uncorked as well!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we'll be releasing the NEW 2025 "Pink Pearl" Rosé of Grenache and hosting a cheese and wine pairing party, where we'll be pairing cheeses from The Cheese Parlor with the 2023 GSM, and the other 3 wines that won GOLD.
