Urban Dictionary: gem
www.urbandictionary.com A gem is something that is absolutely great!
The Cooling Humboldt Current flows up from the Antarctica along the warm Chilean Coast. Warmth,rich soils and a plentiful water supply in one of the southern grape growing regions of the Central Valley known as Curico’ creates a perfect growing environment for blending grapes such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. The result is luscious and fruity grapes with refreshing acidity.
