I first found this at a small winery when the owner hugged it while showing me white wines to go well with sushi. It used to be hard to find, but I can find it all over nowadays.

Hey, that's practically in my backyard! Actually, a friend of mine once got a bottle of grappa made from the remnants of Sokol Blosser's grapes, courtesy of the winemaker there, who was a friend of his mother's boyfriend's. We quickly discovered why he had passed it on to us--it smelled and tasted like lighter fluid and kicked like a mule. Yeesh.
Someone here might be interested to know that one of Sokol Blosser's new releases is named Meditrina--it's a blend of pinot noir, syrah, and zinfandel. Haven't tried it yet, but hopefully it will show up on the fall wine walk here. They make good wines.
