Our take
What we make of this bottle
The name pairs two grapes, Gewurztraminer and Riesling, and on flavor that is as far as it goes. The fuller account comes from the producer: Hive & Honey Wines says both grapes are grown and made into wine on its own estate in Monterey County, California.
Monterey County is a wide origin rather than a single vineyard. It runs from cool ground near Monterey Bay, where sea air and fog push inland, down into warmer valleys to the south, so the county name alone does not tell you which part the grapes came from. If price is what you are weighing at the shelf, it came up the same, $9.99, at every store we checked in September 2026.
One shopper has rated it so far, at 5 out of five, and that is too little to lean on. Among the whites we cover it counts as an inexpensive one.

Getting to know Monterey County.
Monterey County runs from cool country near Monterey Bay into much warmer southern valleys. A county origin gives useful context, but the exact AVA or vineyard is needed before treating the area as one growing site.
What the name means
Monterey County is a California county and a wine origin used on labels, not one single AVA. The county contains the Monterey AVA and other federally recognized growing areas with narrower boundaries.
How grapes grow here
A long valley pulls cool air and fog inland from Monterey Bay. That influence is strongest in the north and weakens toward warmer southern districts, with daily wind and temperature changes along the way.
What lies under the vines
The regional association reports eight broad soil types across the county, including sandy, loamy, gravelly and calcareous ground. A Monterey County label does not identify which one supplied the wine.
How large the region is
- County vineyard area
- The regional association reports about 53,000 vineyard acres.
- Recognized AVAs
- Ten American Viticultural Areas lie wholly or partly within Monterey County.
Places within the region
- Monterey AVA
- This large AVA runs through much of the county and contains several smaller AVAs.
- Other county AVAs
- Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, Carmel Valley and Chalone are among the county's separate growing areas.
