Santorini.

Galicia Spain. Pazo de Senorans debuts its first wines in 1989 and is now

Tyrrell’s makes multiple bottlings of Semillon from Hunter Valley in New

Bordeaux wines, but this wine is made about as far away from France as
you can get.
Our American wine is a Pinot Gris from Ponzi Vineyards from Willamette
Valley, Oregon. Most Americans know Pinot Gris by the name Pinot Grigio,
which is the Italian name for the grape and an immensely popular wine.
The grape is grown in Italy, Alsace, Germany, and Oregon.
The Caciorgna farm is located in Siena, Tuscany, this Etna Bianco bottling
is made on the island of Sicily. The Etna Bianco is made of 90%
Carricante, which is really only grown in high altitude in volcanic soil around
Mount Etna.
