A Woman. A Sailboat. A Wine. Panama White. 

In 2006-2007 the magical combination of late picked Sauvignon Blanc and a month-long (cellphone signal-free) sailboat trip around the islands south of Panama led to the single most unique wine ever created at Patricia Green Cellars.  

Innumerable requests have been made to repeat the wine portion of this experience, but how does one just repeat the ephemeral moment like the alighting twitch of a buttefly's wines?  This wine is an homage to Patty and to simpler yet more raucous times.  Drink with both the sunny disposition that a David Crosby song once gave you and with a good deal of caution.
