Sonoma County
Follow that fog! Thus, the Sonoma Coast AVA eventually became a vast area stretching 80 miles north of the Mendocino border and south to the Marin County line. The boundaries of the AVA were essentially defined by the eastward travels of the Pacific fog. Because the fog finds an inland entrance at the Petaluma River "Petaluma Gap," the Sonoma Coast region eventually encompassed the true Sonoma Coast—the one overlooking the Pacific Ocean—and an acreage forty miles inland from the coast.

This explains the inclusion of some parts of the warmer AVAs inland Sonoma Valley, Chalk Hill, and Sonoma Mountain; stretches of the cooler Russian River, Green Valley, and Carneros AVAs; as well as the entire Fort Ross-Seaview AVA.
These areas share a similarly cool and windy, fog-drenched climate, perfect for growing excellent Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah.

At Grandcruwijnen, we think it is important that people can find their preferred flavor. That is why we came up with the idea of the sample box. This does not just consist of a number of wines, but of themed wines specially selected by our vinologists. With the sample boxes you can try different wines and find your own taste.
Order sample boxes online at Grandcruwijnen
All of our sample boxes have a number of things in common, mainly that they are all (international) class wines and that they are extra competitively priced. A document with all wine descriptions and a table for making tasting notes is added to each test box. What could be more fun than selecting your favorite wine in this way together with friends and / or family.
You can buy sample boxes in various price ranges quickly and easily online at Grancruwijnen.nl.
