I live just down the road from Sapich Bros. Vineyard of "Purple Death" fame, made infamous worldwide by visiting USAF Pilots.
Sapich makes a Chenin Blanc that is just amazing, and a very good Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. If you make it to NZ, we shall have to go try a few samples.
#500 Lodge of the Liberal Arts meets 5 times per year on third Monday in March, May, July, September and November at 4 PM sharp.
My fave Sav Blanc from New Zealand is Jackson Estate. Great “grassy” aftertaste that goes surprisingly well with lobster.
