California, USA
Potter Valley AVA
This Sauvignon blanc shows a character that is both ripe and fresh. Benefitting from hot days and cooler temperatures at night that are typical of the Potter Valley AVA. As are all of Kenny’s wines, this one is elegant, refined and refreshing. On the palate, citrus notes and white peach give way to a bright and vibrant finish.

Kenny Likitprakong has gone from being a former pro skateboarder to a hard-working student of viticulture and oenology over the past ten years. In between... a lot of mezcal in Mexico, a few stays in Europe and others in South America. He ended up settling in Sonoma, a return to his roots in a way, because that's where he grew up. This isn’t too surprising as a son of a winemaker, he watched his father make wine throughout his childhood. In 1998, he produced his first wine.
Kenny’s wines tell a story. They are a testimony to a place. The vineyards where the grapes come from are all managed according to a sustainable development philosophy. They all follow the principles of sustainable, organic, or biodynamic agriculture. Although he uses modern techniques, he advocates a minimum of intervention in the winemaking process - all unfiltered and unfined - and he favours the indigenous yeasts of each vineyard. That and a colony of yeasts that have developed over time in his cellar have, of course, influenced the identity of his wines.
