| Arroyo Seco Wine Country |
|
The two most renowned Arroyo Seco wineries are owned by Douglas Meador (Ventana Vineyards) and Bill Jekel (Jekel Vineyards). These men have been instrumental in establishing Arroyo Seco Wine Country’s reputation as a wine region. Meador and Jekel both sell their excellent wines at very fair prices.
Arroyo Seco Wine is produced in a transitional climate. Arroyo Seco Wineries are on the border of cooler, foggier weather to the northwest, and hotter, sunnier weather to the southeast. Learn more about the weather of Arroyo Seco Wine Country and how it affects local vineyards.

Professional Reviews
Fresh, clean and vibrant, featuring mouthwatering green apple, quince and spicy traits that are medium-bodied and cleansing on the finish.

GGW Tasting Notes
A French style Chardonnay with clean crisp flavors and a touch of oak for depth. It starts with citrus and pineapple on the nose, lemony pear in the mouth with a brisk mineral finish. Complements shellfish, fish with butter sauce and even curry.
