Bonny Doon Vineyard Central Coast Picpoul, 2023

Bonny Doon Vineyard, established by Randall Grahm, is known for its innovative approach to winemaking, often featuring lesser-known grape varieties. The 2023 Picpoul is sourced from the Sweetwater Vineyard in Monterey County, reflecting the winery's commitment to unique and expressive wines.

TASTING NOTES: Aromas of white flowers with a hint of pineapple.

FOOD PAIRINGS: This wine is just calling out for fresh shellfish or a smooth, meaty white fish like sea bass or halibut. Play to the creamy texture of the wine and consider béchamel or beurre blanc sauces and then highlight the subtlety of the mellow fruits by utilizing vibrant green herbs. Of course if you want to get “funky,” add freshly-grated aged parmesan and play up that “stank.”
