Midsommar Muscat, 2023
This dry white wine tastes like the first day of summer. Lying on a fresh cotton sheet in a soft green meadow at the edge of a forest. Making flower crowns and dancing around a maypole. Laughing, ribbons blowing in the breeze. A first kiss. Falling into a trance. Following a fairy into the forest. Entering another realm.
Meyer lemons. Key limes. Pomelos. Golden apples. Honeysuckle. Lilacs. Gardenias.
How to Drink This Wine
This is a crisp, dry aromatic white wine. It’s lovely to start drinking this wine chilled, then enjoy the aromas slowly releasing as the wine temperature comes down. It’s like your nose and taste buds are watching a time lapse of a bouquet of flowers blooming.

Giving
The charitable portion of this bottle’s sales will go to Evoke Cascadia.
Evoke Cascadia is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Southwest Washington, creating joyful, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and underrepresented communities—especially in rural and suburban areas where resources are often limited.
Evoke Cascadia is the team that organizes Battle Ground Pride, an annual celebration of LGBTQ+ people in this rural small town. We knew Evoke Cascadia was one of the first charities we wanted to support. In this small rural town where the mayor and city council members recently made citywide anti-LGBTQ+ proclamations, and where Christian nationalists are buying up property, businesses, and political influence, it is important to us that we tell the community from the beginning where we stand. LGBTQ+ people deserve to be safe, supported, and celebrated in their communities. We are grateful to Evoke Cascadia for their work supporting rural LGBTQ+ people.
