Poppy Chardonnay, California $14.99
Poppy, located in Monterey Wine Country, was founded by the Silva Family, who in 2003 endeavored to channel their passions into a carefully crafted wine with a focus on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Poppy wines are produced from vineyards located in the Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, Monterey and Paso Robles Appellations nestled along California’s Central Coast. Their careful selection of vineyards ensures that you experience the best of California in every glass. Their five vineyards are located in the Santa Lucia Highlands and Arroyo Seco appellations within the world-class Monterey Wine Country. Poppy Chardonnay is from the Santa Lucia Highlands Vineyard. Grapes for this Chardonnay were harvested off our Hillside Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, which is located on the Central Coast of California. The pronounced slope of the vineyard with well-drained soils and eastern exposure allows us to select blocks for varying levels of maturity over multiple dates. Check out their website.
Poppy Pinot Noir, California $17.99
Poppy Pinot Noir is from the Arroyo Seco Vineyard in Monterey. The Arroyo Seco appellation, which means “dry riverbed,” begins in a steep, narrow gorge at the foot of the Santa Lucia Mountain range in Monterey County. Moving east, the topography widens and eventually opens up to the warm, fertile soil of the Salinas Valley. Deep in the canyon, vineyards are shielded from characteristic afternoon winds and thus experience warmer temperatures. As the canyon opens to the valley floor, the afternoon Pacific Ocean breeze cools the grapes, tempering their growth and intensifying the fruit flavors.
Fred’s Red, California $14.99
As one of the pioneers of California’s Wine Industry, the Parducci family has been devoted to handcrafting premium Mendocino County wines for over 70 years. Mendocino County’s first vineyards were planted during the American Civil War by immigrants seeking to carve out new lives in this fertile land of northern California. McNab Valley is named after the Scottish immigrant and American soldier Alexander McNab who raised sheep on a 10,000-acre land grant in 1866. To manage his flocks, in 1885 he imported two male “fox collies” from an original neighbor and bred a distinctive dog variety that, not surprisingly, became known as McNab; his son John imported others from the same area in the early 1900s. One legend is Alexander crossed the original males with Spanish females imported by the Basque sheep herders to obtain a shorter haired dog more resistant to California heat. He became well known locally for the skill of his herding dogs, Peter and Fred, who would become patriarchs of the McNab dog breed, still a beloved working breed in the Pacific Northwest and Mendocino County in particular. Fred’s Red wine produced under the Fun Bunch is named in honor of one of these great dogs, Fred, and features a McNab on the label. A ball fetching, car chasing, doggone good red wine.

Poppy Cabernet Sauvignon, California $14.99
Poppy Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Paso Robles Vineyard. With a greater day-to-night temperature swing than any other appellation in California, distinct microclimates, diverse soils, and long growing season, Paso Robles is a unique wine region with optimal growing conditions for producing premium and ultra-premium wines, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Syrah.
