This 2018 was blended by Andy and Sergio with Brian O’Donnell from Belle Pente. The “Pretty Bird” is a special collaboration that we produce with Belle Pente Vineyards & Winery. The first iteration of it was the 2010 made for Little Bird Bistro, and we have made it every year since. It is an ode to the “Edelzwicker” blends of Alsace, where the noble Alsatian grape varieties are blended to express the joy of place and vintage. To get it right is an exercise in balance. The Pinot Gris gives texture and weight, the Riesling brings acidity, and a splash of Muscat and Gewürztraminer add pretty floral and spice notes. It is completely dry, but with a lovely depth of fruit. A great white wine for this season!
