06/01/10 Update: Our 2009 Betelgeuse* sauv blanc is now available only by request.

As easy on the palate as it is on the eyes, this exceptional wine transcends the grass and gooseberry qualities typical of the varietal, unfurling a nose of gardenia, honeysuckle, mandarin, nectarine, limestone, fig, and beeswax – and delivering a power-packed yet delicate mouthful of tropical fruit and white flowers. Part refreshment, part ice-breaker, our 2009 Betelgeuse* sauv blanc is the perfect opening act for all of your summer celebrations. Enjoy Betelgeuse* wherever you enjoying being!



Speaking of being, we're thrilled to release new vintages of two perennial BE favorites – our 2007 Chaos Theory zin blend and our 2008 Westside zin.

Sommelier Caroline Styne and Chef Suzanne Goin are featuring the 07 Chaos on their list at Tavern in Los Angeles. With its inky garnet core and translucent ruby rim, this wine is nothing short of uplifting. Our pairing suggestion: pappardelle with wild boar ragu.

And the Westside zin? The 08 vintage is our second in a row to be selected by Sommelier Rom Toulon for Chef Christopher Kostow's tasting menu at The Restaurant at Meadowood in Saint Helena – paired this time with an inspired dish of roasted carrots, dark chocolate, chile de arbol, and Iroquois cornmeal. Yes, it's that versatile!
