Popelouchum is the personal project of Randall Grahm, the restless thinker who founded Bonny Doon Vineyard and spent decades arguing that California could make wines with a true sense of place. He works from the hills of San Benito County, south of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This Aligoté comes from the Calleri Vineyard near Tres Piños. The vines are the “Golden” biotype, Aligoté Doré, an old, low-yielding selection that is rarely found outside Burgundy. Grahm gives the fruit a hands-off treatment and bottles it unfiltered under screwcap at a moderate 12% alcohol. The result is a lively, transparent white with lemon peel, white blossoms and a hint of green apple. Its bright acidity and long, clean finish make it a natural match for sushi, crudo and delicate white fish. It is a Burgundian grape seen through a Californian lens, by one of the state’s most original voices.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
Carefully packaged and shipped from our Beverly Hills shop.
