With their sandy soil and cool temperatures, the rugged hills of west Marin County are definitely not the typical example of California wine country. But out of these scruffy conditions comes a handful of acres planted with vines that produce a classic dry Riesling, one that’s good enough to make even Napa fans stand up and take notice.

Pey-Marin Vineyards, started in 1999 by veteran winemakers Jonathan and Susan Pey, deals in organically farmed grapes and produces just 270 cases of their wine each year. This wine is refreshingly crisp and dry, with the aromas and flavors of dried citrus and pear. We recommend you get your hands on this locally made gem before it runs out.
