"Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a land-based company that thrives on feeding the land organically for future generations, we saw a clear parallel with Hog Island, their ethos and this focused campaign."
"In a still wine it's neither quite as sharp as a Sancerre nor as robust as Chablis—two classic pairings with oysters—and is subtle, allowing more of the seafood to shine."
"We were able to support a cause that originated with Hog Island in Marin County but is very relevant and near to us in Paso Robles."
Hog Island Oyster Co. and McPrice Myers Wines have created a collaborative wine called Sea Legacy, a 100% clairette blanche from Paso Robles available exclusively at Hog Island locations across Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and San Francisco counties. The partnership channels 25% of proceeds to the White Abalone Project, dedicated to restoring the functionally extinct native white abalone species to California's coast. Both companies share a commitment to sustainability and organic practices. Patrick McNeil, director of sales at McPrice Myers Wines and former proprietor of Wines that Deliver, facilitated the partnership. The clairette blanche grape had previously been used for McPrice Myers' Arrived! wine. This varietal offers a subtle profile that complements oysters without overpowering the seafood's natural flavors.
