*Morlet Family Vineyards' 'La Proportion Doree' 2011 from Sonoma County, a white blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and a small amount of Muscadelle.

The Morlet wines are distributed by Polaner locally. Nice, if pricey, examples of Cali juice.
 
The Thibaut Janisson sparkling wines are pretty good. I had a chance to try a few when I was working in VA. In fact, VA does better than expected with sparkling wine. I believe Claude Thibaut is the consulting sparkling winemaker (or the actual sparkling winemaker) for many of the Central VA sparkling wines, though Trump (nee Kluge) has their own sparkling wine setup.
