Giracci Vineyards, Silverado

Dreams do come true. They did for the owners of Giracci Vineyards, Chad and Linda Kearns, who worked in the medical and health care industries before setting up a winery. Their combined passion for wine, as well as chemical experience of Chad, made them a perfect couple to work in the wine business which is reflected in numerous awards, for example, at the 2009 San Francisco and Los Angeles Wine and Spirits Competitions.

At Giracci Vineyards visitors can learn about the grape-to-glass evolution of wine during guided tours and tastings. The varietals which may be available on the current menu include:

• 2016 GVF Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma: A bright and balanced wine perfect for pairing with food. It blends a slightly creamy mouth with more weighty citrus and mineral aromas.
