Wentes follow a fusion of technology
and tradition. In the 1960s, Karl L.
Wente adopted stainless steel fermentation. Today, the family preserves
successful techniques, without shying
away from new ones. Sustainability is a
priority, too: In 2010, Wente Vineyards
was among the first wineries to receive
the Certified California Sustainable
Winegrowing designation, and one of
the only wineries to certify every component of its business.
"There is no separation between
what happens in our vineyards and what
takes place in our winery," says Karl D.
Wente, Fifth Generation winemaker.

Vineyards; the event center building
performers (think Sheryl Crow and
Foreigner). And don't forget to book a
tee-time at The Course, a rambling
par-72 challenge.
There's so much to do at Wente
Vineyards. But if relaxing with a glass
of 2012 The Nth Degree Chardonnay
while gazing out over the rolling hills
is more your speed, you're in good
company. Savor the ripe notes of apple
and apricot, the hints of graham, nutmeg and clove, followed by a smooth
finish. You're sipping California's best.
