Cali Cab producers who make fine Sauvignon Blanc

Ha, missed that. Well, $100 is the new $30 anyway! And it tastes better.

22

It certainly does! Eisele is my favorite SB followed closely by Bevan’s

23

Ehlers makes a great Sav Blanc around $30, Gamble Family is a bit more expensive around $70-80 but is fantastic and one of the best SBs I’ve had (very Meyer lemon dominant in a good way).

24

Grgich Hills Fumé Blanc.

25

Presquile

26

+1 for Grgich Hills Fume Blanc

Back in the day, GH Fume Blanc and Frogs Leap Sauvignon Blanc were consistent cool-down pleasers for me.

27

I’m on the Jean Edwards bus as well. Tried Karen’s SB for the first time through the Berserker Day offer and it was very nice. Sadly I don’t have any left after this summer!

28

^this. Dan is an easy person to support. Wine is excellent.

29

We can also suggest Larkmead since were talking about Massican. It’s tasty Although very expensive. Joseph Phelps has a nice SB but that’s also up there in price.

30

Becklyn is good.

Kathryn Kennedy

Martin Ray Ascona Vyd. (SCM)

Above your price point Lexington (Fogarty) make excellent SB and Sem/Sauv from their Gist Vyd (which is near Ascona along the SCM summit).

32

i love how everyone meets the $30 criterion.

33

Another vote for Cliff Lede.

34

None of my local shops carry Massican, but Wine Access has the SB right at $30:

I’ve never tried it but very excited once it arrives, especially given the board recommendations.

Friendbuy - Forwarding To Destination If you want $50 off $150. ‘18 Geyserville is back in some markets [cheers.gif]

Bedrock makes a Cabernet (sometimes), and their SB is nice.
The Becheur SB is a 2020 QPR front-runner. If someone told you it was $30, you’d have no problem believing them, but it’s half that.

36

Jericho Canyon makes a good SB…

37

Illumination by Quintessa, normally 40-50$ range, occassionally goes on sale to about 30$.

38

Astounded nobody has mentioned De Negoce. :laughing:

39

Since we’re largely ignoring the $30 price point, Dana Estates makes a phenomenal Hershey Vineyard SB, along with their cabs.

40

LOL, just wait for their 2020 RRV Pinot, Chard, DCV Zin and Howell Mtn Cab!
