Featured Local California Winemaker

Storypoint Chardonnay

Nestled halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Edna Valley Every vineyard finds its own "Storypoint" — a block craved and revered by winemakers for producing distinctive vintages. Saman Parsa, winemaker at Storypoint Wines, draws inspiration from these prized blocks and celebrates their uniqueness in the wines she creates. For Storypoint, Saman sources grapes from esteemed Northern California vineyards — some are already storied; others have yet to be discovered. Each vintage offers a blend of grapes from vineyards whose Storypoints are extraordinary enough to become our own.

Perfect Pairings

Why it Pairs Perfectly

Butter goes so well with corn, and a buttery Chardonnay complements these flavors. This Storypoint Oaked Chardonnay has acidity, that cuts through the butter fat, and the saltiness that often accompany corn based dishes.
