This blind tasting brings a rarebutincredible grape into focus. It's famous in Germany and Northern France, so we were surprised to find it growing in one of the most unexpected places.

So what wine is it?

2022 Union Sacré Sylvaner from Santa Maria, CA

Union Sacré is an unexpected winery in Paso Robles. Why? They focus on white winemaking in an Alsatian style. Sylvaner (aka Silvaner who have the Wine Folly book) is rare outside of Alsace and Germany.

However, the winemaker here, Xavier, has lovingly dedicated his efforts to bringing the Alsatian style to Central Coast of California. We love this wine for it's exuberant aromas and spritely palate with crispy acidity.
