Dough Sauvignon Blanc
Country: USA
Region: California
Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaking: Stainless steel fermentation & aging, No malolactic fermentation.
Winemaker's notes: Fruit for this wine comes from two North Coast counties. One vineyard tends to be a bit warmer, giving the wine tropical aromas and flavors, while the cooler site adds bright gooseberry and crisp acid structure. Together, they create a lively and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with great balance that offers something for everyone.” — Winemaker Heidi Bridenhagen
Color: Pale, golden yellow.
Aromas: Nice floral aromatics centering on jasmine and lemongrass. Layers of lime zest & gooseberry.
Flavors: Ripe green melon and grapefruit, round, lush mid-palate, bright acid on the finish.
Pairing: Try it with toasted crostini smeared with wild-caught smoked salmon & lemon-dill dip, or sustainably caught shrimp tacos.
Our Price: $15.00

Mi Campo Tequila Blanco
REWRITE THE SCRIPT
It starts with the pure blue agave of Jalisco. Fermented among fragrant local citrus trees, then aged in oak wine barrels. We’ve reinterpreted tradition to create a richer, smoother tequila—rooted in the spirit of modern México.
Our tequila begins as 100% Blue Weber Agave, matured for seven years. We gently squeeze the cooked piñas, illuminating the agave plant’s natural honey characteristic and quelling any trace of bitterness.
Blanco is double distilled, then fermented in open-air tanks, amid fragrant citrus trees, before resting for up to one month in the same French oak barrels used for aging Napa Valley Chardonnay, imparting an incredibly smooth taste.
AROMAS AND FLAVORS
A nose of cooked agave, banana, fresh coconut, almonds, sweet orange and green apple is layered over hints of elegant vanilla. On the palate, orange blossom tea underscores threads of honey and sweet orange, balanced by subtle white pepper notes.
OUR WAY, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
- 7-year matured 100% Blue Weber agave sourced in Jalisco, MĂ©xico.
- Piñas are steamed-cooked in stone ovens for 38 hours.
- Natural fermentation using open-air tanks, allowing aromatics from nearby citrus trees to blend with the tequila.
- Fermented with pure spring water from the VolcĂ n de Tequila
- Double-distilled in stainless steel stills for more than 13 hours.
- Rested in wine barrels from Napa Valley to create Mi CAMPO’s richer, smoother finish.
Our Price: $22.00
