Guiso Latin Fusion/ Balletto Vineyards/ Davis Bynum Vineyards/Feed Doc

We have great new features with chef Carlos at Guiso Latin fusion! We will feature a great single vineyard Pinot Noir from Balletto Vineyards and Winery. We will start with the amazing Sav Blanc from Davis Bynum. Let's check out the tasting notes on these two wines and enjoy this great food and wine pairing with Chef Carlos.

The dry season and judicious irrigation created smaller leaves and canopy area, so the fruit acclimated to receiving more light exposure than normal. We hand-picked Virginia's Block at 23.3 brix in the cool early morning hours of September 9. We like to highlight the ripe fruit characteristics of Virginias Block while maintaining the acidity for the structure of
