HIGHWAYMAN TRAILBLAZER RED BLEND
A trailblazer is defined as someone who makes tracks through wild country—a pioneer if you will. This red blend blazes trails by exceeding expectations. It is spicy, complex, and highly drinkable, with a chocolate mousse finish and fine tannins.

KENEFICK RANCH SAUVIGNON BLANC
This estate-driven white will satisfy and bewitch your palate, with its artfully crafted spicy acidity and complex layers of grapefruit. Short but mighty bursts of citrus flavor will go on and on, but the real surprise is the melon tartness and tangerine cream. Essentially, it’s a picnic in a glass.
