After a long, hot summer day, this crisp and tropical Sauvignon Blanc will be the perfect companion for a relaxing evening outdoors. If you prefer to refresh during that hot day, this will also do the trick (and we won't judge you).

 If you were to visit the beautiful Dry Creek Valley vineyard where this wine is harvested, you will more than likely be greeted by Buddy, the winery dog.

 Buddy’s family has been farming this land for six generations. His “parents” are a husband-wife team who work side by side to care for the family’s wines from harvest through bottling.

After one visit to this sun-soaked land of rolling vineyards, you will quickly see why it’s called Buddy’s Playground. And after one sip of this 2010 vintage, the crisp tropical and citrus notes will make your taste buds feel like they have found their own summer playground.
