As a fifth generation Napa Valley winemaker, Joseph Wagner learned his way around a vineyard long before he was able to drink wine. Inspired by his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, Joseph created Belle Glos in 2001 with a focus on vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs from California’s best coastal regions. Wagner continues to honor Lorna’s legacy with Belle Glos which includes six Pinot Noirs and the Blanc de Noir Rosé.

**Napa Valley Quilt**:

This Chardonnay is classic yet complex, and sure to be a crowd pleaser! Napa Valley Quilt is fifth-generation winemaker Joseph Wagner’s tribute to the character of Napa Valley and its rolling patchwork of vineyards. Napa Valley Quilt exemplifies the classic cult-style wine structure achievable only in the Napa Valley, while the blending of fruit from a variety of vineyards allows the wines to have more complexity and a better style consistency from vintage to vintage. This medium bodied chardonnay has crisp aromas of juicy white peach, honeysuckle, pear, white plum, and nectarine. Refreshing stone fruit, kiwi, apricot, nectarine, and Meyer lemon zest flavors and hints of lightly toasted oak.

**Belle Glos** **Glasir Holt Chardonnay:**

Belle Glos is easily identifiable by its sexy signature wax-dipped bottle and elegant script label, making it the perfect wine for date night. Fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker, Joe Wagner learned his way around a vineyard long before he was able to drink wine. Inspired by his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, Joe created Belle Glos with a focus on vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs from California’s best coastal regions and is now introducing the first white wine to the Belle Glos portfolio, the Belle Glos Glasir Holt Chardonnay. The 2020 Belle Glos Glasir Holt Chardonnay is a beautiful golden hue with aromas of pie crust, lightly toasted marshmallow, banana cream pie, and hints of granny smith apple; with large, luscious notes of melon, bright apple, and hints of buttery brioche on the palate.

**Böen** **California Pinot Noir:**

Böen Pinot Noir is an instant classic. It’s a wine that has a light yet complex profile that will leave a lasting impression. The pinot noir draws its profile from the varied coastal winegrowing areas that are among California’s most sought-after cool-climate appellations, each offering optimal growing conditions for this temperamental and early ripening varietal. Find aromas of ripe Bing cherry, cocoa and marionberry with a rich and balanced palate with bright acidity that leads into a long, smooth finish.

We couldn’t end this list without mentioning a wine spritzer to throw in the mix. Toast to summer by using Sauvignon Blanc by Casillero del Diablo and creating the “Not Your Mother Wine Spritzer.” Created by Katie Stryjewski, mixologist and author of “Cocktails, Mocktails and Garnishes from the Garden,” this spritzer is perfect any picnic spread or just a day on the patio!
