"Tucked away on the back side of St. Helena near Lake Hennessey, Aonair boasts incredible views and bold reds. They make just four barrels of their sparkling wine that features red grapes only. Most blanc de noirs wines have just a hint of color, but Aonair’s green bottle hides a gorgeously pink wine (they call it rose gold) brimming with golden apple, plum, and berry aromas plus persistent bubbles. The gold wax drizzled over the cork makes it even more memorable. About $60." - Maria C. Hunt
