LIWA | Sauvignon Blanc | Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Co., CA | 2021
We love wine, and we love it even more when it contributes to a good cause! That is LIWA’s mission. This is a collaboration between Guerneville’s Inizi Winery and our favorite local wine broker, Revel Wines. They wanted to make a wine where proceeds could go directly to charities they care about, and in the case of LIWA, proceeds go towards two!
Liwa is the Miwok word for “water”, the vital life source in dwindling supply here in Northern California. Pre-colonization, the Miwok tribes historically spanned Northern California from the Sierras to the Sonoma/Marin coastline, and what is now the Bay Area. Today, a portion of the proceeds of this wine goes back to both the native community and the planet at the Native American Rights Fund (narf.org) and 1% For The Planet (onepercentfortheplanet.org).
This is a thirst-quenching, classic style of Sauvignon Blanc from Dry Creek Valley, located just outside Healdsburg, California. Big, fresh flavors of grapefruit, pomelo, gooseberry, and tarragon leap from the glass. This wine sees 100% stainless steel from start to finish, and it's just a delicious summertime porch-pounder for you to fall in love with. Pairings? Goat cheese anything! Fried squash blossoms, shrimp cocktail, fresh salads, linguine and clams. Go for it.
We’ll be pouring this by the glass all month at DECANTsf in case you can’t get enough of it! —Cara Patricia
