Acquiesce Winery Lodi CA—Sue Tipton raises the bar with world-class white wines

a sampler of Acquiesce Winery's award winning white wines

Sue Tipton tipped the scales in the world of white wines. Tipton did not start her wine making journey until she was 50 years old. Ten years later, she’s an industry star in the world of white wines—that’s all she produces, and her focus might partially explain why her Viognier was awarded “Best in the State of California” at the 2016 California State Fair. 

Her Grenache Blanc won “Best in Class” at the Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition.
