We in Ojai are not, because there is a mountain blocking the way. When Ojai is hot, from July through early September, my taste in wine wanders to light, acidic red wines and particularly to crisp white wines. Zippy Chardonnays, taut Sauvignon Blancs, and dry Rieslings are what I enjoy when the thermometer goes above 90˚. <o:p> </o:p> So when I heard about a very cool-climate vineyard west of Los Alamos that had Riesling for sale, my imagination ran wild with thoughts of producing a wine like the fascinating dry German and Austrian Rieslings that I enjoy so much. One peek at the vineyard and I was convinced it was an ideal site. Located parallel to the western edge of the <st2:place w:st="on"><st1:sn w:st="on">Santa</st1:sn> <st1:middlename w:st="on">Rita</st1:middlename> <st1:sn w:st="on">Hills</st1:sn></st2:place> appellation, Kick On Ranch is planted in poor sandy soil, so the vines struggle to grow and produce only a small crop. <o:p> </o:p> From this fruit we have been able to produce a wine of incredible distinction that tastes nothing like any California Riesling I have ever had. It expresses its varietal character with aromas of lemon peel and minerals. The wine has a mouth-coating richness, yet it is crisp, fresh and very dry. My family has a long tradition of dismissing white wines as unimportant, but when I poured this Riesling during the winter holiday, everyone took notice and enjoyed it. <LI>SKU: 07RSLG Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Category9" TITLE="Current White Wines">Current White Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product50 TITLE="2007 BIEN NACIDO Chardonnay">2007 BIEN NACIDO Chardonnay</A> -- 2007 BIEN NACIDO Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product63 TITLE="2007 SOLOMON HILLS Chardonnay">2007 SOLOMON HILLS Chardonnay</A> -- 2007 SOLOMON HILLS Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product40 TITLE="2006 CLOS PEPE Chardonnay">2006 CLOS PEPE Chardonnay</A> -- 2006 CLOS PEPE Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product41 TITLE="2007 VIOGNIER ICE WINE">2007 VIOGNIER ICE WINE</A> -- 2007 VIOGNIER ICE WINE <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product28 TITLE="2006 SOLOMON HILLS Special Bottling #1 Dry">2006 SOLOMON HILLS Special Bottling #1 Dry</A> -- 2006 SOLOMON HILLS Special Bottling #1 Botrytis Dry wine <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/ojai/Product16 TITLE="2006 SOLOMON HILLS Special Bottling #2 Dessert">2006 SOLOMON HILLS Special Bottling #2 Dessert</A> -- 2006 SOLOMON HILLS Special Bottling #2 Botrytis Dessert wine <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/ojai" TITLE="THE OJAI VINEYARD Products">THE OJAI VINEYARD Products</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">pinot noir</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">syrah</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">sauvignon blanc</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">chardonnay</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">grenache</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">california wine</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">ojai wine</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">best california pinot</A> <A HREF="http://WWW.OJAIVINEYARD.COM">best wine value</A> THE OJAI VINEYARD <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
