Hawthorne was our third of 4 stops on OMP. We spent a lot of time outside on the snow-covered patio enjoying the wood stove. At this point in the journey, we are starting to get a little buzzed (reminder - none of us would be driving or taking care of our children even after the party bus tour ended). Some fresh air was just what the doctor ordered.  I have been to Hawthorne enough times before to know the wines, and a more reliable review of mine is here - I enjoy Hawthorne's whites and convinced most of our crew to get a glass of the 2018 Barrel Reserve Auxerrois. This grape is getting more attention lately (first discussed here) as wineries seem to be getting more willing to trot out and even celebrate this hard-to-pronounce but well-suited to the NoMI terroir grape.
