The word sauvignon is thought to have originated from the French term for wild, describing how the plant grew freely across the Bordeaux region of France.

You may know that the 1976 Judgement of Paris put Napa Valley on the map. But what you might not know is that Mike Grgich was the winemaker behind the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay that snatched the honor.

Here are our favorite Napa Valley Chardonnays from the Oakville and Rutherford regions.
