Love wine but need to "lay off the slosh sauce" for a bit? You could drink grape juice, especially now since Welch's 100% Concord grape juice has been listed as a top anti-oxidant containing food, but then, you're just drinking grape juice.
Navarro Vineyards, located in the Anderson Valley in coastal Mendocino, has been growing grapes and making wine since 1974, but they also make grape juices from the same grape varietals they use to make wine: Chardonnay, Gewürtztraminer, and Pinot Noir. They started making the juices after their own children wanted to share in the joys of the vineyard.
Bottles are availabel for purchase from their website and cost between $9.75 and $11.00 per bottle.

I was just up at Navarro and their wines cost barely more than that, around $16.

I'd love to see some cabernet or merlot like that. I really enjoy wine, but sometimes I don't want to get completely smashed drinking a lot of it.

I grew up drinking Navarro Gewürtztraminer. I lived in Mendocino and everytime through 128 we'd stop there and get a bottle.
Thanks Mom, now I'm an alcoholic.
Not really, it's good stuff. VERY sweet though but definitely fun for the kids to have their own bottle.
Navarro's actual wines leave a little more to be desired.

We love Navarro Wines. Our friends who introduced us to this winery say that the juice is excellent.
If you buy a case you get a discount and the shipping is very resonable compared to the price of driving there from even Santa Rosa or San Francisco.
I definetly would not be using the juice as the everyday stuff that I put out for the kids but it would be great for a special occasion.
