Family Summer Fun While Social Distancing

August 2, 2020September 20, 2020by Rosa ChalekianLeave a Comment

This summer may be a bit different from past summers, okay a lot different... LOL. Summer during COVID-19 hasn't been the traditional summer vacations, backyard barbecues with friends, summer concerts or late night dinners in beautiful restaurants. Adjusting to our new "normal" as we continue to social distance, has been challenging for many us. As we begin to slowly reopen restaurants, gyms, parks, hiking trails and beaches we must still be cautious for everyone’s safety. Even though 2020 has been a bummer, with canceled graduations, events, conferences, sports and so on, it doesn't mean you can't have fun with your family.

The name KARIA (KAR-ee-ah) is derived from the Greek word meaning graceful, and the 2017 KARIA Chardonnay lives up to its moniker. It shows how grapes from select cool-climate vineyards in southern Napa Valley can be vinified and blended into a seamless integration of fresh-fruit aromas and flavors, crisp acidity and subtle oak spice.
