This post will be talking about one of Sutter Home's newest varietals, their Sweet White.
Sutter Home first originated around the 1880's when a Swiss-German immigrant, by the name of John Thomann, started a vineyard in the heart of Napa valley. The vineyard really started becoming truely known in 1948 due to the hard work and constant elbow grease put down by the family.
Sutter Home was the vineyard that created the varietal that changed the world: White Zinfandel. When they debuted this wine in the 1970's it changed the way people drank wine forever. Sutter Home has become a household name and is the second largest, independent family-run winery in the U.S.
