Wine Regions of Napa Valley

California, Napa Valley
Southern Napa Valley grazing country. Whipped by winds and blanketed by the fog that rolls in off of San Pablo Bay late in the DAy, the Carneros is cooler than the rest of Napa Valley and ideal for the cultivation of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Many of California’s finest still and sparkling wines come from Carneros.
A tidal basin, wetlands and gentle rolling hills mark the Southern end of the Valley where the soil, unlike the rich alluvium to the north, is primarily composed of clay deposits from the bay. The soils of the southern tip of the valley are too poor and the temperatures too cool for the cultivation of quality grapes with one exception; Los Carneros. Spanish for “the ram,” Los Carneros was once prime cattle and sheep
Hess Collection The Hess Collection winery traces its beginning to 1978, when Swiss entrepreneur Donald Hess purchased vineyard land on Mount Veeder. Hess’ European perspective led him to choose this location 2,000 feet above sea level with its diverse mix of exposures, thin volcanic and sedimentary soils, and low yielding vines. He understood that grapes grown on the mountains express themselves differently than those grown on the valley floor. Hess Collection wines from Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, reveal the mountain’s personality of complexity, intensity and structure.
Hess Select To create Hess Select wines, they seek out the regions best suited to growing fruit-forward wines true to their varietal character. Hess uses grapes from their estate vineyards and a select group of growers in Napa, Monterey, Lake and Mendocino Counties. Hess adheres to the the philosophy of sustainable farming and work exclusively with family owned vineyards. Hess Select wines are benchmark wines from their perspective regions in both quality and price and are designed for immediate enjoyment.
Pahlmeyer Pahlmeyer’s mission is to produce wines with power and personality. By following a strict viticultural regime to produce fruit of superior quality, wine maker Kale Anderson is able to craft wines that emphasize highly extracted fruit flavors while keeping the tannins soft and approachable.
Jayson by Pahlmeyer The Jayson wine portfolio honors its namesake – Jayson Pahlmeyer, with wines created from declassified Pahlmeyer barrels. The concept of declassified wines began in Bordeaux in the 18th century as a means of using high-quality lots not chosen for a chateau’s premier wines. Following this tradition, all of the grapes for Jayson wines are grown and vinified by the same rigorous specifications required for Pahlmeyer wines. The Jayson lots are deselected just before bottling, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and value.

California, Southern Napa Valley
Southern Napa Valley (continued) Jarvis William Jarvis built an incredible 45,000 sq. ft. winery entirely underground. The goal to preserve the natural beauty of the Vacas mountain area and provide the perfect environment to age wine in a barrel has been handsomely achieved. 37 acres of the 1400 acre estate are planted in classic varietals. Dimitri Tchelistcheff has proven he is a formidable talent in his own right as the Jarvis wine maker.
Poseidon Vineyard This small Carneros Vineyard was one of the first to be planted in this region in 1973. For thirty years it has supplied Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes to a number of Napa Wineries.
Avalon Avalon wines are named after the legendary Isle of Avalon, a place steeped in history and tradition. As we craft Avalon, we meld ancient winemaking techniques with modern technology. We combine thoughtful vineyard selection and intuitive winemaking methods to create a selection of wines that are beautifully balanced and effortlessly enjoyable.

Flint & Steel In search of terroir that would produce a Sauvignon Blanc with great natural acidity and minerality we turned to the southern end of Napa Valley, specifically the Oak Knoll District, where the Dry Creek alluvial fan forces vines to root themselves deeply into the earth in search of water and nurturance. The marine influence of San Pablo Bay and the combinations of soil and climate foster full flavor for Sauvignon Blanc.
Husdon Vineyards Hudson Vineyards lies in Napa Valley’s Carneros District, one of the finest winegrowing regions in the world. Hudson Wines’ winemaking team is a long-standing collaboration between Lee and Cristina Hudson, Consulting Winemaker John Kongsgaard, and Production Winemaker Christopher Vandendriessche. These wines are made by hand, a true expression of each season’s challenges and gifts.

Shibumi Knoll Many years ago we read the book Shibumi, which became one of our favorites: adventure, intrigue, romance, the book has it all. The book introduced us to the concept of Shibumi, a Japanese word describing a physical and emotional state which most nearly translates to “the pursuit of perfection though simplicity” or “Effortless Perfection”. Hence when we decided to make wine under our own label, “Shibumi Knoll Vineyards” seemed perfect.

California, Southern Napa Valley
Central Napa Valley Cabernets that are rich and complex, yet with a mint, herbal and spice notes. Bordeaux varietals, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also do well in the Central Napa Valley area, but it is Cabernet that rules the valley floor and foothills.
The Central Napa Valley region extends over a flat expanse of well drained gravel soil between the Vaca and Mayacamas Mountains. The area is known for its unique terroir which produces exceptional complex wines. The well drained soil of this area has a composition of gravel, loam and sand with volcanic deposits left over from erosion of the Vaca Mountains and marine sediments from the Napa River. The slightly cooler climate extends the growing season and produces
Kongsgaard Winery Napa natives, they began their endeavor in the 1970s planting The Judge vineyard on the Kongsgaard family land near Napa. The inaugural Kongsgaard wines came in 1996. They now produce The Judge, Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in their underground winery — a cave dug into the volcanic rock, high on the eastern rim of the Napa Valley where they have planted a spectacular mountain vineyard.
Lewis Veteran race car driver Randy Lewis and his wife Debbie have transformed what was once a hobby into one of California’s most sought after labels. After spending 23 years racing professionally, Randy began making wine at Oakville Ranch and set off on his own in 1995. Since then, Randy and Debbie have enjoyed continued success with rich, toasty Chardonnays and ripe, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon. (Napa)
Miner Founded in 1998 Miner Family Vineyards produces small lot, handcrafted wines from the Oakville Ranch Vineyard, as well as some of California’s finest vineyards, each hand selected. The focus of the winery is to produce high quality, reserve style wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the individual vineyards. (Oakville)
Voss Vineyards Owned by Australian Robert Hill Smith, who also owns Yalumba and New Zealand’s Nautilus Winery, Voss is based in Califronia’s Napa Valley. Situated in Oakville, the Estate Vineyards supply the top-quality fruit, but a combination of Australian and California wine making talents are responsible for the impressive wines. (Oakville)
Chappellet Established in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet, Chappellet Vineyard was the second new winery built in the Napa Valley since the end of Prohibition. Located on the eastern slope of the valley above Lake Hennessey, the winery was one of the earliest to actively pursue hillside and today, 110 acres of the 640-acre property is planted to fruit at altitudes ranging from 800 to 1,800 feet.

Northern Napa Valley which result in a cooler climate than on the valley floor. Northern
Northern Napa Valley is noted for its topographical diversity and uniform geology, with bedrock almost exclusively made through volcanic action and fine soil with excellent drainage. In the lower elevations, the hot days provide color and flavor in the wines, while the cool nights help to maintain acidity and structure. The relatively higher elevations get cool breezes directly from the Pacific Ocean,
Dunn After establishing Caymus’ premium wine reputation from 1975 to 1982, Randy Dunn reestablished his own vineyard in the late 70’s on Howell Mountain. In 1982 Dunn added a Napa Valley Cabernet made from grapes purchased from John Caldwell’s vineyard. Today Dunn vineyard annually produces about 5000 cases of highly esteemed red wine.
Fisher Vineyards Founded in 1973 by Fred and Juelle Fisher, Fisher Vineyards grows and produces wines from both its Napa Valley Estate and Spring Mountain Estate (Sonoma County). Today, Fred and Juelle’s three children, Whitney, Robert and Cameron, have joined Fisher Vineyards and are leading the way to a second generation of fine wines.
Hall Vineyards Hall is one of the biggest holders of Napa sites (six vineyards totaling over 3000 acres), yet they use these vineyards to produce a rather small amount of wine. The owners, Kathryn and Craig Hall, have made a commitment to produce the best wine these vineyards will give with respect for the land.
Buccella At Buccella, we’re especially interested in origins. Our own story began over a beautiful bottle of 1990 Gaja. It was our first date. When we met, we were two individuals with distinct dreams, but we soon found our shared passion for wine would unite our paths to create Buccella. We chose the name, which means “mouthful” in Latin, to evoke the big, bold, concentrated layers that make our wines so luxuriously flavorful.
Checkerboard Vineyards Checkerboard Vineyards is located on the southeast facing slope of Diamond Mountain in Napa Valley. The estate includes a winery, cave and four vineyard sites, joined by a spanning valley floor to the top of the ridge. Farming practices at Checkerboard Vineyards are based on long-term sustainability. Winemaker Martha McClellan has directed the winemaking.
Band of Vintners Band of Vintners is the outcome of seven wine industry friends. The collective “insider” knowledge of where the best fruit can be sourced, where the deals can be found, and where favors can be called in was contagious, and surprised even us. The outcome is a wine we believe makes a strong case for one of the best QPRs in the Napa Valley, and something we’re proud to share.
Napa Valley is home to many of the initial vineyards and wineries, and grapes have been grown here for over a century. The diverse nature of this area is demonstrated in its prevalence of top notch Cabernets, Chardonnays and Zinfandels.

Northern Napa Valley (continued) Raymond Vineyards Raymond Vineyards, one of Napa Valley’s iconic, pioneering wineries, celebrated its first harvest in 1974. Five generations of the Raymond family imbued the winery with its deep roots, dating back to the earliet foundations of winegrowing in the Napa Valley. Ryamond has continued its tradition of family winemaking by becoming a part of the Boisset Family Estates collection of wineries in August 2009. Jean-Charles Boisset, began implementing organic and Biodynamic farming practices very soon after purchasing the winery in August of 2009; adherence to organic and Biodynamic farming practices is a hallmark of Boisset properties worldwide. Raymond Vineyards is currently the largest 100 percent solar powered winery in Napa, according to utility provider Blue Sky Utility.

Pride Mountain Vineyard Jim Pride’s purchase of Historic Summit Ranch in 1990 and its subsequent development was the culmination of a lifetime of farming for Jim and his wife, Carolyn. Native Californians born into farming families, the Pride’s are both second generation California farmers. Wanting to live closer to the land, they bought a historic winery property with a few acres of vineyards, and moved to the top of Spring Mountain. “We traded dark, rich soil at $5,000 per acre in Sacramento, for dusty, rocky soil at $25,000 per acre,” Jim joked. Buying the parcel on the “sleepy little mountain top” was supposed to usher in a more relaxed lifestyle. That lasted until they discovered that fruit from their replanted vineyards, sold to local wine makers, was producing extraordinary wine.

California, Northern Napa Valley
Northern Napa Valley (continued) Terra Valentine In 1995, Angus and Margaret Wurtele purchased 75 acres on Spring Mountain, overlooking the northern California town of St. Helena and the Napa Valley. This steeply sloped and undulating land of rocky clay soil encircles a wooded knoll. Thirty-five of these acres, in a variety of exposures, were developed into vineyards by the Raymond family in 1990 and planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Angus Wurtele chose the name Valentine to honor his father, Valentine Wurtele, and to remember his long career at the Valspar Corporation. Valspar’s roots trace back to the Valentine Company, the first varnish manufacturer in North America.
Chateau Montelena Winery Since 1972, owner and founder Jim Barrett’s philosophy has been “make the best, period.” Excellence is demanded in every aspect of production, from the planting of the vine to the pulling of the cork. This commitment to excellence was first rewarded in 1976 when the 1973 Chardonnay captured first place in a French judged tasting of California Chardonnays and French white Burgundies shocking the world wine community and putting California on the map.

Kenefick Ranch Vineyards Kenefick Ranch consists of 125 acres of mostly red Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Sauvignon Blanc, Voignier, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc are grown for white wine. Petite Sirah and Syrah complete the portfolio. Ten percent of production is used in Kenefick Ranch wines while the rest of the fruit is sourced out to Etude, Lewis Cellars, Cade-Plumpjack, Merryvale, Raymond, Caymus and several other small producers.

California, Sonoma County
Northern Sonoma County West of Healdsburg, is home to many of California’s most regarded Zinfandels. While the cool climate and ideal soil structure have made the Russian River Valley the ideal location for the cultivation of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
As the Russian River flows to the Pacific, its tributaries have carved out valleys that have created a wide variety of micro climates and soil conditions. The Alexander Valley has a warm climate and gravelly loam soils that make it an area ideal for the cultivation of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Chalk Hill takes its name from its chalky volcanic soils which are perfect for Chardonnay at lower elevations and Cabernet Sauvignon in the hills. The Dry Creek Valley, situated
Alexander Valley Vineyards In 1962 Hank and Maggie Wetzel purchased 150 acres of prime Alexander Valley property. They’ve restored the old farm and school house to it’s classic state. Hank’s goal is to make wines that capture his exceptional fruit and soft tannins. Accessibility, grace and finesse. Always rated as great value.
Mauritson Family owned and operated, the Mauritson family owns their own vineyards. Their wines represent the soil in which they are grown. The red wines show beautiful fruit profiles with amazing core minerality and rich dusty tannins. The family has been in the grape growing business since the 1870’s in the Dry Creek Valley. Clay, the wine maker and Owner, is the sixth generation of his family in the business. His grandfather, father and brother are growers for some very respected labels in Sonoma County. Their first vintage was a 1998 Dry Creek Zinfandel and since then have grown and built a state of the art facility customized to accommodate small, ultra premium lots.

California, Northern Sonoma County
Northern Sonoma County (continued) Walt Walt is dedicated to the production of premier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Pacific Coast’s most distinctive vineyard sites, spanning nearly 1000 miles and including Sta. Rita Hills, Sonoma County, Anderson Valley, and the Willamette Valley. Their philosophy is that of precision, non-interventionist winemaking, thereby allowing the wines to naturally and honestly express the character of the site where the wines are grown.
Wayfarer Vineyard After nearly 30 years as an acclaimed Napa Valley vintner Jayson Pahlmeyer became increasingly entranced by the wines of Burgundy, and he hoped eventually the perfect site would present itself. Many years later in the remote hills of the Sonoma Coast at a small farm called Wayfarer, his vision became a reality. The Wayfarer vineyard on the remote Sonoma California Coast, is an ideal place for winemaker Bibiana González to grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes of concentration and distinction.

MacPhail Family Wines MacPhail Wines produce Pinot Noirs in small-batches from the Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley. The winery works with conscientious grape growers who rely on personal observation and meticulous care, the same disciplined attention to detail that is exercised in the winery. With the goal of making wine that speaks of a place and clearly expresses the character of the grape variety. All fruit is picked and sorted by hand. Absolute minimal intervention is the foundation of winemaking at MacPhail Wines. The wineries approach relies on native yeasts for fermentation and malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. MacPhail Wines uses traditional methods: pre-fermentation cold maceration, gentle punch downs by hand and completes this process with barrel aging in French oak.

California, Northern Sonoma County
Southern Sonoma County which is protected from the wet and cool influence of the Pacific Ocean. Within the Sonoma Valley appellation lies Sonoma Mountain which is known for its blockbuster red wines as well as a few stellar Chardonnays such as the McCrea Vineyard Chardonnay from Kistler.
The southern end of Sonoma County is the home to California’s first capital, Sonoma. Once primarily dedicated to orchards and cattle farms, the southern end of Sonoma is the oldest growing region in the county. Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are the most widely planted varietals, yet as many fine examples of other varietals may be found here; there is not one grape that may be said to dominate the landscape. The area is known for its unique terroir
Hanzell The Hanzell style has always featured ripeness, power, and concentration of flavor year after year. Senior wine maker Bob Sessions—with Michael McNeil—produce wines in a class by themselves. Considered by many as one of the greatest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir producers in California, Hanzell will continue to improve, astonish and inspire.
Kosta Browne Dan Kosta and Michael Browne teamed up in 1997 to produce “world class Pinot Noir” from grapes grown in their home of Sonoma County. They have succeeded in making some of the most highly acclaimed and sought after Pinot Noirs in California.
Cirq Estate Cirq Estate is the newest project for acclaimed winemaker Michael Browne of Kosta Browne fame. He has found what he believes to be two of the best vineyards in the prime Russian River Valley and is developing them to produce some of the finest Pinot Noir.
Foppiano More than 100 years after its founding, Foppiano continues to do what it did from the outset: create outstanding red wines with varietal character from its Russian River estate.
Lucky Star A lot of hard work, dedication and inspiration led us to our Lucky Star: On a cold crisp spring evening, one shining, twinkling star stood out in the night sky. Out of that inspired moment came Lucky Star Wines.
Sonoma-Loeb In 1973, Ambassador John Loeb Jr. began growing grapes in the Russian River and Alexander Valley regions of Sonoma County. To achieve his vision, he sought out a young promising winemaker in Phillip Titus. As the winemaker for Chappellet, Phillip was on the path towards establishing himself as one of the New World’s great winemaking talents. Today, the wines are made in small lots by Phillip Corallo-Titus at the Chappellet Winery.

WindVane Is an homage to the wind that contributes to the unique character of Carneros wines. Our winemaker Steven Urberg was intrigued by some of the windiest vineyard blocks in the estate. The wines coming from these windblown vines are concentrated with great depth of fruit and a generous mouthfeel. They are selected from the very best parcels throughout 335 acres of estate vineyards.

California, Southern Sonoma County
Southern Sonoma County (continued) Buena Vista Founded in 1857 as California’s first premium winery, Buena Vista Winery is a leader in cool-climate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Syrah. Buena Vista Winery crafts wines with remarkable depth, complexity and flavor - the true expression of Carneros. Buena Vista Winery was awarded the 2013 California Preservation Design Award for “Craftsmanship/Preservation Technology” at the 30th Annual California Preservation Awards at the Merchants Exchange Building in San Francisco. The Champagne Cellars at Buena Vista, a California Historic Landmark, were seismically retrofitted using innovative technology called center core drilling, making it possible to restore and preserve the original look and feel of the façade of the cellars, as it had originally been built in 1857.
De Loach DeLoach Vineyards pioneered Pinot Noir wine growing in the Russian River Valley. In 2003, DeLoach Vineyards was purchased by the Boisset Family from Burgundy, France, when Jean-Charles Boisset fell in love with the Russian River Valley on his first visit to the area, immediately recognizing the similarities between Sonoma County and Burgundy: each boast a confluence of river, mountains, and soil.

Southern Sonoma County (continued) Lyeth Established by Chip Lyeth in 1981, Lyeth was one of the first wineries in California to pursue the unique complexity and composition achieved by the marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon with the other major Bordeaux varieties, now known as the Meritage style. The Meritage Association created the Meritage concept as a means of identifying blends produced in the Bordeaux style.
Raeburn Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grown in the Russian River Valley, 75% of the fruit is barrel fermented in new French, American and Hungarian oak and aged sur lie. This yields an elegant layering of toasty, vanilla overtones on top of bright fruit flavors leading into a graceful finish.

Mendocino & Lake Counties as one of California’s earliest growing regions, Mendocino has had success with Zinfandel and Carignane planted inland by Italian immigrants. Along the coast, in the Anderson and Potter Valleys, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling have traditionally excelled in this cool coastal climate.
Up the coast from Sonoma County lies Mendocino County, the northern outpost of California viticulture. Mendocino County contains the AVAs of Anderson Valley, Potter Valley and McDowell Valley. The cool coastal vineyards of the Anderson Valley are bordered by hills that shelter the inland valleys from the cool sea breezes and fog. Initial planting of grapes had been dedicated to jug wine production, yet while not established
Mendocino County Navarro Vineyards - www.navarrowine.com Navarro Founded in 1974 by Ted Bennett, Navarro specializes in Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Noir. Also known for their amazing dessert wines, Navarro is recognized as one of Mendocino’s hottest producers.
Obsidian Ridge This vineyard is planted 2,600 feet high on the Mayacamas range in the Red Hills of Lake County. The iron rich volcanic soils and predominant black shards of obsidian give these wines a depth and complexity, with a mountainous tannin presence.

Lodi & Dunnigan Hills (continued) Klinker Brick Steve and Lori Felten, fifth generation grape growers in the Lodi region, continue the tradition of cultivating “Old Vine” Zinfandel vineyards that their ancestors planted in the early 1900’s. For over one hundred years, the family has cultivated the land with the aim of producing top quality wines.
Matchbook Dunnigan Hills is often overlooked in conversations about Wine Country. But a lot of wineries from other appellations purchase fruit – a lot of fruit – from our vineyards. Those who have never visited, lump us into the Central Valley. Winery insiders know these hills are a hidden gem. The soils are full of red gravel; the nights are cool and breezy; the growing season is long as is the horizon. This region checks every box for premium wine grapes, but we are never satisfied with just checking boxes. We are propelled by innovation. Experimental trellis techniques and irrigation methods, new clones, cover crops and tilling. There is nothing we won’t try in our life’s mission to improve the quality of our appellation. Dunnigan Hills is worth looking over.

Lockwood Vineyard Lockwood Vineyard built its reputation from a remarkable vineyard nestled at the base of the Santa Lucia mountain range. 1,850 contiguous acres wind through both warm and cool climate regions with a distinctive soil that gives meaning to the term terroir. Consisting of crushed fossilized seashells, the vineyard’s soil, known as “Lockwood Shaly Loam” contains high levels of calcium, similar to chalk or limestone, and is also similar to the soil found in highy regarded vineyards in Burgundy and Champagne. Located in the heart of Monterey, Lockwood Vineyard’s diverse micro-climates allow multiple varietals, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive.

Tortoise Creek The concept with Tortoise Creek was to work more with the individual grower and less with the cooperatives as they understood that the key to any good wine is low yields. With that in mind, Tortoise Creek wines have been selected from growers who understand this philosophy. They work closely with our growers to hand craft their selections.

Wild Oats Wild Oats was a nickname given to Australia’s wine pioneer Bob Oatley long before he planted his first grapevines. Bob named his first sailboat Wild Oats which was a simple canoe with a bed sheet for a sail. This was the beginning of a life-long passion for sailing. Whether it’s wine or sailing, Wild Oats is a winner. The Wild Oats wines are a labor of love for the Oatley Family and we know you’ll find them delicious, an excellent value, and a bit adventurous – the way wine is meant to be. Each bottle of Wild Oats wine you purchase will help connect a hungry American to one much needed meal.

The grapes are grown on the Niven family’s famed Paragon Vineyard in the Edna Valley on the Central Coast of California, and the wines are made by veteran French winemaker Christian Roguenant. The latest project of Niven Family Wine Estates, Zocker (Austrian word for Gambler) is likely their riskiest venture yet, as these varietals are far from conventional.

Wine Regions of Oregon as Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and in some areas even Chardonnay. The Rogue River Valley, further south, is the warmest of the western growing regions, and several producers have had success ripening Cabernet Sauvignon in this tiny appellation.
The wine growing regions of the Pacific Northwest are essentially defined by the Cascade Mountains, which bisect both Washington and Oregon. Vineyards located along the western slopes of the Cascades benefit from a warmer maritime climate and are protected from harsh changes in climate which plague the western parts of each state. Oregon’s Wilamette and Umpqua Valleys, are shielded from ocean breezes and fog by both coastal and inland branches of the Cascades and are ideally suited for cooler climate varietals such

Oregon Bethel Heights Vineyard This family owned and operated estate winery in the Eola Hills in the heart of the Willamette Valley was established in 1984 and produces 10,000 cases of wine annually, most of which still comes from the 50 acre Bethel Heights Estate Vineyard. The viticulture has been refined over twenty years. Bethel Heights is committed to principles of low input sustainable agriculture for the sake of both wine and environmental quality.
Solena Laurent Montalieu, part owner and wine maker at Willa Kenzie Winery, Danielle Andrus Montalieu, daughter of Gary Andrus, and general manager of Archery Summit, started Solena Cellars and first released their Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris in 2003. They are committed to producing high quality estate and vineyard specific Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris for the national market, and create small quantities of Merlot, Cabernet, Zinfandel, and Syrah for their wine club.
Patricia Green Cellars This winery almost deserves a “cult status” because of the notorious Patty Green and her partner Jim Anderson. Patty would dispel this, as the wine maker, she wants all her wines to showcase the Vineyard sites she receives fruit from. Along with her Estate Vineyard, she receives fruit from all sub-appelations in Oregon. These are handcrafted wines that are not that large in numbers-ranging from 100-1000 CS per bottling. One of the most highly sought after wines in Oregon.
Ponzi Dick and Nancy Ponzi moved their young family to the Willamette Valley in the late 1960s with a spirit of adventure and a passion for making world class Pinot Noir. The methods, philosophies and winemaking passion established more than 40 years ago are still practiced today under the family’s second generation. The Northern Willamette Valley provides a moderate climate, soils and sites ideal for the culture of noble cool climate wine varietals. The Ponzi family’s own vineyards and those under their management provide 120 acres of vines featuring a variety of elevations, exposures and soil types. The different sites express distinctive territory and microclimates. These differences, combined with knowledgeable varietal and clonal selections, are the determinants of the overall expression of varietal flavors, character and ultimate wine structure.

Oregon (continued) Domaine Serene A passion for Pinot Noir lead Ken and Grace Evenstad to Oregon in 1989. Their wines have won many accolades and awards, including besting Domaine de la Romanee Conti in blind tastings, being called “ The Chateau Lafite of Oregon” by Anthony Dias Blue, The Best Oregon Pinot Noir by the Wall St Journal, and outstanding (top rating) Oregon producer by Robert Parker.
Shea Wine Cellars Shea Vineyard is located in the Yamhill Foothills of famed Willamette Valley. Dick Shea first planted his vineyard in 1989 and he is probably most famous for his own single vineyard or “block” wines. Many of the most famous Oregon producers now have a Shea designated bottling. Mike Etzel of Beaux Freres comments on Shea fruit, “The fruit is very focused in the red tones and has great concentration and flavor.”
A to Z Wine Works A to Z Wineworks is the leading negociant-style wine producer in Oregon. This was the conception of four seasoned wine professionals in Oregon. Sam Tannahill and his wife Cheryl Francis, William Hatcher and his wife Debra. The four play integral parts in selectively blending premium lots sourced from Oregon’s leading wineries. These wines have established a price/ quality benchmark in Oregon wines.
Bergstrom Winery Farming Bio-dynamic, this winery located in the Dundee Hills, is committed to making the best Pinot Noir possible. Josh Bergstrom studied in Beaune, and worked several years interning in local wineries. He is very highly thought of as one of the top wine makers in Oregon. Since their first vintage in 1999, Bergstrom has been lauded by the critics with award after award.

Washington (continued) Milbrant Vineyards Butch and Jerry Milbrant have farming in thier blood. Their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all made their living working the land. Joined by Jim McFerran, one of the foremost viticulturists in Washington, they planted their first vines in 1997. Today, their farm consists of 12 distinct estate vineyard sites totaling nearly 2,000 acres. The Milbrant Winery, launched in 2005, produces highly-individualistic wines from the Milbrant estate and neighboring vineyards.
Luke I heard stories about him for years, saw him in the flesh a few times, and spoke to him only once. The true depth of a man’s character is often unknowable, but even one conversation was enough to convince me that Luke was an imitation of no one. He revealed himself slowly, like a freed wind emerging from the shadow of a mountain. Seemingly ordinary at first, but undeniably complex. Bold and determined, but unabashedly generous.
City Limits One day while leaving a vineyard in the Yakima Valley and making my trek back to Seattle, I noticed a sign in an odd place. It was at an askew angle on the side of the road outside of Zillah, Washington and it read simply City Limits. It struck me that this sign was outside of a place that is not a city at all but a rather small farming community. I thought about that sign the entire three hour drive back to the winery and it struck a chord. The growth of the vine. The harvest of the fruit. The fermentation. The ageing. The bottling. All of these steps take place outside of the city limits and yet this creation is enjoyed, loved, and savored within the city limits and the people inside those city limits are presented with a taste and flavor of the land that surrounds them.

Washington (continued) Charles Smith Wines A self-taught winemaker, Charles is a true artisan and a pioneer in the wine world. In 2008, K Vintners was recognized by Wine & Spirits magazine as one of the “Best New Wineries of the Last Ten Years,” and as “Winery of the Year” in their annual buying guide. In 2009 Food & Wine magazine awarded Charles “Winemaker of the Year” and in 2010 Seattle Magazine recognized Charles as their “Winemaker of the Year.”
Sixto SIXTO, the Chardonnay-only label from Charles Smith, is made in partnership with winemakers Andrew Latta and Brennon Leighton. Inspired by the story of musician Sixto Rodriguez, Charles similarly wanted to resurrect something that was always great, but was waiting to be rediscovered – as in the old Chardonnay vines in Washington State. Being the sixth label that Charles has created (sextus translates to “sixth” in Latin), the name SIXTO was a perfect fit.
Secco Grower-driven, vintage-dated, pure and fresh, Secco Italian Bubbles truly defines “the dolce vita.” Growing up in Rome, Italy, Ginevra and Olivia Casa always had an infatuation for Prosecco. In 2010, after the change in laws pertaining to Prosecco production, Charles Smith and Casa sisters jumped on the opportunity to champion both the noble varietals and the growers of Chardonnay and created a new category of sparkling wine called Secco Italian Bubbles.
K Vinters Located at the base of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla (Washington State), Charles Smith opened his first winery, K Vintners, in December of 2001. The first release,1999 K Syrah from Walla Walla Valley, initiated the style of winemaking that Charles continues today: small lots of single vineyard Syrahs and field blends of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Tempranillo and Viognier, all of which are hand-picked, foot-stomped, fermented with naturally occurring yeasts and basket pressed.

Australia Jansz Just three words describe the thinking behind Jansz Tasmania: Time. Patience. Discipline. The wine embraces all three in equal measure—nurturing the vines and their precious fruit, awaiting the perfect moment for picking, devoting years to making the wine with painstaking care and attention.
Henschke Johann Christian Henschke arrived in Australia in 1841 from Germany. It is now run by the fifth generation of Henschkes, Stephen, who continues with the strong family philosophy “Exceptional wines from outstanding vineyards.” Prue Henscke is known as one of the world’s outstanding, progressive viticulturist.
Pewsey Vale Vineyard In 1847 the original Pewsey Vale Vineyard was planted. The vineyard consists of gently undulating hills, nestled close to Pewsey Vale Peak. Pewsey Vale Rieslings are renowned for their delicacy, finesse and intense lemon and lime characteristics, and the high levels of well-balanced acids that contribute to their extraordinary ageing potential.

Jim Barry The Barrys are legendary in Clare Valley. Their philosophy is simple, own the vineyards to develop the best fruit flavors possible and retain these flavors during wine making. Their 8 acre Armagh (after County Armagh, Ireland) was purchased by Jim Barry in 1964 from Duncan McCrae Wood, at that time the best known grower in the area. He hand planted it in 1968 to Shiraz and now it is one of Australia’s rarest reds.
Nine Stones An exciting new project from the Aussie duo of Len Evans and Denis Power. The name Nine Stones derives from the ancient Celtic custom of creating circular patterns of standing stones. The initial release wines were three wines of the Shiraz variety and each is a powerful, fully-ripened example of the variety.

The Signature Since 1966, the Signature has paid tribute to someone that has played a significant rold in helping make Yalumba what it is today. The 1997 Signature is dedicated to Vittorio Di Biase, a Yalumba employee working in the cellar for over 40 years. The wine is a 100% Barossa fruit consisting of a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon & 49% Shiraz that is aged 26 months in American oak barriques (45%) and French Oak (55%) that are coopered at Yalumba.

Barossa Valley -(cont.)
Oxford Landing Oxford Landing isn’t some invented name on a wine label. It’s a real place, a real vineyard that lies alongside the River Murray near the South Australian river town of Waikerie. Wyndham Hill Smith found this place in 1958. Today the estate has matured into one of Australia’s most innovative viticultural enterprises delivering varietal flavour that accurately reflects the unique vineyard terrior.
Langmeil Winery Family owned and operated, Langmeil is the home of the Barossa and Austalia’s oldest surviving vineyard planted to Shiraz in 1843, from where the iconic Freedom 1843 Shiraz hails. Although it is only ten vintages since the Bitter and Lindner families re-established the abandoned winery, Langmeil has had considerable success and was recently awarded 5 Stars in the Halliday Wine Competition. Without contradiction, Langmeil wines are ‘cutting edge old school’.
Earthworks Barossa Earthworks is the Best of the Barossa. Family owned and operated, Earthworks is made entirely from Barossa grapes from trusted family growers. Earthworks embodies our fierce commitment to quality and a determination to preserve the independence and heritage of the Barossa. “The wines at Earthworks are made at our cellars true to region, as long as we make a good drink to share with meals and mates. “ - Bittner & Linder families.
Robert Oatley “With over forty years of winemaking experience I’ve learnt there are two important elements when it comes to creating great wine. Firstly, the best wines show a true sense of the land – that ideal combination of grape variety and region. Secondly, they taste even better when shared with friends. I hope you enjoy drinking our wines as much as we enjoyed making them.” - Bob Oatley, Founder
Wild Oats Wild Oats was a nickname given to Australia’s wine pioneer Bob Oatley long before he planted his first grapevines in the late 1960’s. Bob named his first sailboat Wild Oats which was a simple canoe with a bed sheet for a sail. This was the beginning of a life-long passion for sailing and today Wild Oats XI is a five-time winner and owner of the course record for fastest finish of the prestigious Sydney to Hobart race. Each bottle of Wild Oats wine you purchase will help connect a hungry American to one much needed meal.

New Zealand
New Zealand majority on the East coast of the Islands in the rain shadow of the mountains. Within these diverse regions, sub-regional characteristics are beginning to show through and wines are now being distinguished as being not just from a wine region, but from a sub-region and a place.
New Zealand wine is distinctive for its purity, vibrancy and intensity. The long ripening period - a result of cool temperatures - allows flavor development whilst retaining fresh acidity, a balance for which New Zealand wines are renowned. There are a number of distinct major winegrowing regions spread throughout New Zealand, with the
Mills Reef

Through commitment and the highest quality standards, they have quickly developed a reputation for making quality Rieslings, Sauvignon Blancs, Chardonnays and sparkling wines that have won more than 100 medals in international contests.
Dog Point - www.vintuswines.com
Dog Point Dog Point is the result of a collaboration between enologist James Healy and viticulturalist Ivan Sutherland. This project has been one of the most eagerly anticipated new ventures to come out of New Zealand in recent years, and the wines represent a new level of quality and complexity. Dog Point Vineyard wines are hand-crafted from estate fruit grown on some of the oldest vines and best sites in Marlborough.

Since 1991 wine maker and Vineyard manager Allan Johnson has taken a very sound and holistic approach with great success. They were the first in the area to receive ISO status for their environmental management. This includes controlling winery waste, ensuring packaging materials are recyclable and promoting sustainable methods of pest management and weed control.
Fire Road Marlborough’s worst ever fire, Boxing Day 2000, burnt 6,000 hectares (almost 15,000 acres), for over three days, killed thousands of stock and threatened the wine town of Blenheim, as well as a number of vineyards and wineries. Disaster was avoided by the brave residents, of what is now known as Fireroad, who battled the blaze by using buckets and hand held hoses and were eventually assisted by a fortunate wind shift. The Fireroad vineyards flourish in the same hot and dry climate that was the catalyst for such a mighty blaze.

Two Paddocks Two Paddocks was established in 1993 by itinerant actor, Sam Neill, who was raised in, and still calls the South Island of New Zealand, home. Initially Sam bought a paddock in Gibbston and aimed to grow a small amount of his favourite grape for friends and family. His good pal, bought the paddock next door and so ‘Two Paddocks’ was born. The Central Otago winegrowing region is 80% planted in Pinot Noir and is arguably New Zealand’s most successful region with the variety.
Sea Pearl Around the cool, shallow waters of New Zealand live the most unique and beautiful species of abalone. These native creatures have been revered by ancient cultures and in modern times alike for their brilliant iridescent shells. Sea Pearl Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, named after this New Zealand treasure, are crafted from fruit grown in the southern Wairau River valleys of Marlborough, within close proximity to the sea.

Salon Situated in le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the Côte des Blancs, the house of Salon has only one Champagne. This Champagne is produced from a one-hectare parcel owned by Salon and from 19 other smaller parcels in Mesnil-sur-Oger. The wine produced here is rare on all counts: always a single harvest, single cru, single grape variety and to complete the singularity in this wine, it is only produced in the best vintages. In the 20th century only 37 vintages were declared.
Delamotte Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, it is the sister house of and contiguous to the mythical House of Champagne Salon, with which it shares the same viticultural, winemaking and management team.

Dampierre For more than 700 years, the Dampierre family has had associations with the Champagne region. In marrying Marie Boisseau, whose family was well connected with several of the well-known champagne houses, Comte Audoin de Dampierre’s great grandfather cemented the family ties. From 1880, he brought to the trade, his savoir-faire and a quest for quality, which continues today.
Besserat de Bellefon Edmond Besserat founded Besserat Champagne in 1843. After Edmond, his grandsons continued to build the reputation of the house. In 1927, Edmond Besserat, a grandson of the founder, married Yvonne de Meric de Bellefon, who came from another prestigious Champagne family, and the house of Besserat de Bellefon Champagne was born. Besserat de Bellefon has continued to be a leading European Champagne brand for over 150 years.

Wine Spectator Rating Bordeaux/Left Bank Reds 2010–2014
A good spring was followed by a gray, humid summer, but dry weather and a long harvest period through September and October saved the vintage. Best in the upper Médoc with Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, along with Petit Verdot, relishing the late harvest; less dynamic in Margaux and Pessac Cool start and wet finish; saved by warm, dry July and August. But disease pressure was very high and harvest was on the early side. Reds are light and sometimes angular; Margaux least successful of Left Bank AOCs Cool, wet start led to uneven crop set and disease pressure; dry, hot August resulted in some blocked ripening. September rains helped, but harvest window was short before October rains. Some Cabernets marked by taut tannins; Pessac and Margaux stronger than upper Médoc; more inconsistent overall than Right Bank Dry and hot early, then cool and wet late. Yields down due to small berries. Fresh fruit and bright acidity are prominent; tannins are strident but ripe, with lower alcohols Ripe and powerful, with racy tannins and great acidity for balance. More structure-driven than opulent 2009; should be very long-lived
Wine Spectator Rating Bordeaux/Right Bank Reds 2010–2014
A good spring was followed by a gray, humid summer, with slightly more rainfall than on the Left Bank; well-drained gravel soils favored over clay. Merlot solid, but wines with Cabernet Franc the sweet spot Merlot generally soft and forward but prime spots on limestone and gravel handled late rains better. Cabernet Franc also performed well, bolstering Pomerol and St.-Emilion. Generally more consistent than Left Bank Early-ripening Merlot favored in general over Left Bank Cabernet. Clay soils with good water retention kept vines going during August drought, while gravel easily drained off the later rains. Pomerol very solid; St.-Emilion more inconsistent, with some wines prone to overextraction Pomerols generally fresh and ripe; St.-Emilion Cabernet Franc excelled, buttressing the Merlot. Solid vintage that should age nicely, like 2001 and 2004 Dry but not warm season led to powerful reds, with Merlot sporting slightly higher alcohols; Cabernet Franc excelled. St.- Emilion superb; stellar Pomerols

Official Classification of 1855 For the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris, the World’s Fair of the day, Napoleon III requested a classification system for Bordeaux wines, France’s best, which were to be on display. It was established by brokers in the wine industry who ranked the wines according to a Château’s reputation and trading price, which at that time was directly related to quality. The result was the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. Red wines that made the list all came from the Medoc region with the exception of the Château Haut-Brion from Graves which was famous enough to be included. The wines were ranked descending from first to fifth growths called “crus.” For white wines, only sweet whites from Sauternes and Barsac were ranked from first great growth to second growth. Within each category, châteaux are ranked in order
of quality. In more than 100 year since the 1855 classification, there has been only one change, when Château Mouton-Rothschild was elevated from a second growth to a first growth vineyard in 1973. Today, many people critique the 1855 classification for a numerous reasons; some because the great châteaux of Pomerol and SaintEmilion, among others, are not included; others because châteaux ownership and vineyard holdings are always changing.
First Growths (Premier Crus) Commune Château Lafite-Rothschild (Pauillac) Château Margaux (Margaux) Château Latour (Pauillac) Château Haut-Brion Pessac (Graves) Château Mouton-Rothschild (Pauillac)

Bordeaux Wine Classifications There is no general classification comparing the Appelation (A.O.C.) wines of the Bordeaux region. The classifications used means that even the classifications cannot be considered definitive.
THE SAINT-EMILION CLASSIFICATION
THE 1855 CLASSIFICATION
• S aint Emilion • S aint Emilion Grand Cru
This classification is revised every ten years. It has existed since 1955 and the 3rd classification was officially drawn up in 1983 (decree 11/01/84). All wines produced in the SaintEmilion area may claim one of the two following AOC’s.
It was on the occasion of the Universal exhibition in Paris in 1855 when Napoleon III commanded each viticultural region to draw up a classification. The Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) (founded in 1705) fulfilled this mission for the Gironde. The Bordeaux CCI asked the Association of Commercial Brokers at the Bordeaux stock exchange to draw up the classification of red and white wines in the Gironde. Only the red wines of the Medoc, the sweet white wines of Sauternes and Barsac and a red wine from Graves figured in this classification which was drawn up according to the reputation of the chateaux and their prices. The Medoc wines were reviewed in 1973, following a competition by the Bordeaux CCI.
Those wines that fall into the Gran Cru appellation have the right to words “Grand Cru Classe” (great classified growth) or “Premier Grand Cru Classe (A & B)” (First Great Growth) after their official classification. Today 74 chateaux are classified. There are 11 Premiers Grand Crus Classes and 63 Grand Crus Classes.
THE BOURGEOIS GROWTH CLASSIFICATION OF THE MEDOC The decree of 18/08/72 divides the Bourgeois growths into three categories:
Today there are: • 1 Graves 1st classified growth • 60 Medoc Growths embracing 4 first, 14 second, 14 third, 10 fourth and 18 fifth growths.
• E xceptional Growths •B ourgeois Great Growths •B ourgeois Growths
Among the white wines: • 27 Sauternes-Barsac growths embracing 1 superior first growth, 11 first and 15 second growths
However the present regulations only allow the optional wording “Cru Bourgeois” to be displayed. Bourgeois growths account for 49% of the total production of the Medoc region. There are 282 in eight Medoc appellations.
THE GRAVES CLASSIFICATION INAO classified the growths of this region in 1953 and again in 1959. The INAO has classified the growths per village and per type of wine (red/white). 16 growths benefit from the words “Cru Classe.” However, the classification is not in any hierarchical order nor is there any legal provision for reviewing this classification.

Chateau Fonbadet Château Fonbadet is a jewel of an estate located in the heart of Pauillac with a rich history. Tucked away among many famous 1st and 2nd growth estates, it was part of domaine Château Latour in the middle ages. It is one of a handful of non-classified Pauillacs left in the appellation, as the smaller estates are being swallowed up by their rich and powerful neighbors. Fonbadet was created just after 1855, and as a result, was not a part of the 1855 Medoc classifica- tion, although the quality of its neighbors (Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Pichon Lalande, Pichon Bar- on, and Lynch Bages) allude to the quality of its terroir. Through the years, the estate has exchanged parcels with its prestigious neighbors and so the majority of its vineyards today belonged at one point to its 1st & 2nd growth neighbors. Just 10 years ago, Fonbadet made a favorable exchange of 3 hectares (7.5 acres) of vines with Mouton Rothschild, hence the local saying: “every time you drink Mouton, you are also drinking Fonbadet.”
Château Bellegrave Château Bellegrave lies in the south of Pauillac, surrounded by plots of the greatest classified growths, including Chateau Latour, Pichon Baron and Lynch Bages. The Meffre family has invested heavily to restore the property, upgrade the cellars, and acquire additional vineyard. The Château and cellars and the lion’s share of the 21 acres of the vineyards are located just south of the town of Pauillac. 7.5 acres are located in Artigues, next to Grand-PuyLacoste. All of the vineyard is planted on the deep gravel deposits for which the area is known, and from which the estate derives its name.
Chateau Gruard Larose Chateau Gruaud-Larose can lay claim to a remarkably rich heritage despite its troubled and often impassioned past. It has consistently produced a wine of exceptional quality that has been acknowledged all over the world since 1742.
Chateau Mongravey Château Mongravey is located in Arsac, 22 kilometers northwest of Bordeaux. Created in 1980 by Mr. Regis Bernaleau by combining several prime parcels in Margaux, the estate produces an exceptional wine that receives accolades and awards every year.

L’Ecuyer benefits from an exceptional terroir. 1 hectare is located on the summit of the famous Pomerol plateau next to Clos L’Eglise, Château Clinet and Châ- teau Rouget. The other 2 hectares are located in the heart of Pomerol.
l’Hospitalet de Gazin The present day Château Gazin is located on the site of a hospital built in the 18th century by the Knights of St. John. The estate was the site of a town at that time, and the hospital was along the path built by the Knights to host pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella, hence the name of the estate’s second wine, “l’Hospitalet de Gazin”.
Fontvillac Estate Bottled and 100% Merlot.
Chateau Coutet Well located in the heart of St. Emilion at 1km west of the city church; the chateau Coutet vineyard occupies the first hillside coming from Libourne.

A vintage marked by heat and drought, but without any of the downside, as nights were cool, maintaining acidity, and rains well-timed for ideal ripening. Reds are rich in both fruit and terroir, with ample but integrated structure; whites are remarkably vibrant and pure. Looks to rival 2010, 1990 and 1961 An inconsistent year, with rain in June and July leading to disease pressure. Fine weather in August and September yielded excellent results for some growers, while others had more difficulty; reds more heterogenous than whites Dry, cool growing season; vintners who picked quickly, ahead of late-season rains, were very successful. Reds are pure, ripe and focused; whites are gorgeously aromatic and lively Similar in profile to the south, with reds marked by solid, ripe fruit and refined, lengthy finishes; the best should age well. Whites also excellent, though not as vivacious as ‘11. A very consistent year Similar growing season as the south, with early, warm start, but cool, wet second half. Syrah performed well through harvest, which extended late and without pressure; more consistent than the south, with many excellent wines

Ideal spring conditions were followed by heat and drought through July and then heavy rains in August. Earlier-ripening Viognier and Syrah struggled a bit, while later-ripening Grenache and Mourvèdre excelled; reds are marked by sometimes heady ripeness. Looks to be the best vintage since 2010, in a decidedly more powerful style Season similar to the north’s, with a good start but then persistent rains followed by more humid weather through September. Earlierripening areas favored as disease pressures built steadily; sorting tables critical to cull berries, with yields markedly lower as a result. Trickiest vintage since 2008 Cool but dry growing season, with Grenache yields drastically reduced once again and Grenache-reliant wines lacking some depth and ripeness; wines buttressed with Syrah and Mourvèdre are fresh, pure and floral-edged Small crop following severe coulure on Grenache, but the wines are fine-grained and lengthy, with deliciously ripe flavors; well-balanced and should cellar well

France, Les Vins du Rhone
Les Vins du Rhone Northern Jaboulet-Perrin Two storied families from opposite ends of the Rhone Valley have come together to fashion fantastic wines from the Northern Appellations. Nicolas Jaboulet, raised on the slopes of the Hermitage hillside, has teamed up with the venerable Perrin family of Chateau de Beaucastel. The combined decades of experience of these two families can hardly be matched. Together they have produced an offering of wines reflecting the terroir and typicity of the Northern Rhone Valley, full of freshness, finesse and the unmistakable quality one would expect from such expert hands.
Vins de Vienne Owned by a quartet of local vignerons (Yves Cuilleron, François Villard, PierreJean Villa and Pierre Gaillard), this négociant house was founded in 1996 and has grown steadily in recent years. Originally based in Vienne, the label has built a new facility near Chavanay just south of Ampuis. The project aims to develop long-term relationships with growers, and focuses on specific terroirs rather than buying grapes and wine en masse for blending into large volume cuvées. http://www.vinsdevienne.com
Francois Villard François Villard is a young, ambitious man who has been making wine for just over a decade. He has invested heavily in his winery in Saint Michel-sur-Rhone that now has a cathedral-like barrel cellar. All of his wines aim for concentration, with a long élévage to create rich, velvety wines. “Villard is one of the young, serious producers who has an intellectual as well as artistic approach to making Condrieu. His wines are given extensive lees contact and bottled with minimal processing. They are expressionistic, firmly structured Condrieu’s that stand apart in a tasting for both their power and concentration.” – Robert Parker

The firm of E. Guigal, located at Ampuis, was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal. Etienne’s son Marcel has been the winemaker of the family firm since 1962. He has preserved the tradition of the Rhône region and the scrupulous methods of his father. He has not hesitated to modernize and update his methods in ways that improve the traditional style without violating the spirit of the appellation. Philippe Guigal, Marcel’s son, is poised to carry on these traditions of innovation and quality well into the 21st century.

Les Vins du Rhone Jean Pierre and Francois Perrin are proud to present these fine wines inspired by the memory of their grandfather, Pierre Perrin. Using the same techniques employed at Chateau de Beaucastel, the Perrins have added some interesting appellations to their already impressive list of wines.“Jean Pierre and Francois Perrin - chosen among the Most Influential Wine Personalities of the last 20 Years. The Perrins believe in natural wine making, unfiltered wines, and routinely produce long-lived classics that area among the finest in the world.” - Robert M. Parker

Chateau de Beaucastel Among the prominent people in the town of Courthezon during the sixteenth century was the Beaucastel family. In 1549, “Noble Pierre de Beaucastel” bought “a barn with its land holdings, containing 25 saumées at Coudoulet”. More than four centuries later, this remarkable domaine, known today at Château de Beaucastel, is producing what most people acknowledge to be the finest wines of Châteauneufdu-Pape. In 1903, a young chemical engineer and mathematics professor named Pierre Perrin, together with his father-in-law, began to restore the domaine following the ravages of phylloxera. His son, Jacques Perrin, took over the domaine in 1953 and introduced many innovations such as improved grape varietals, integrated pest control, and a flash-heat exchanger. Today, the third and fourth generations of Perrins, François and Jean-Pierre and JeanPierre’s sons Pierre, Marc and Thomas, continue in the tradition of their father and grandfather.

Southern (cont.) La Vieille Ferme Jean Pierre Perrin established La Vieille Ferme over 35 years ago, when he chose to produce an inexpensive, straightforward Rhone wine to sell by direct mail to French wine lovers. Vineyard Brands introduced la Vieille Ferme into the United States in 1970. The response was an immediate, overwhelming acceptance and an outpouring of critical acclaim from eminently knowledgeable critics.

Perrin Reserve
Appellation Cotes du Rhone
The Perrin family has taken particular care that this Côtes du Rhône meets their stringent standards of excellence. As proprietors of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and producers of La Vieille Ferme, the Perrin family has demonstrated exceptionally high standards for nearly a century. JeanPierre and François’s father, Jacques Perrin, was a gifted winemaker who brought world renown to the family domaine, introducing innovative techniques in the cellar, such as flash-heat exchange for maximum extract, integrated pest-control and organic farming practices in the vineyards.
E. Guigal The firm of E. Guigal, located at Ampuis, was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal. Etienne’s son Marcel has been the winemaker of the family firm since 1962. He has preserved the tradition of the Rhône region and the scrupulous methods of his father. He has not hesitated to modernize and update his methods in ways that improve the traditional style without violating the spirit of the appellation. Philippe Guigal, Marcel’s son, is poised to carry on these traditions of innovation and quality well into the 21st century.
Maison Nicolas-Perrin Our story is about the meeting of two families who come from the two opposite ends of the Rhône valley, North and South. In the North, Nicolas Jaboulet grew up on the hillsides of Hermitage, and the Perrin family has been in the southern Rhône, primarily in the prestigious appellation of Châteauneuf du Pape, since the beginning of the 20th century. This geographical reunion finds its meaning in the phrase ‘AXIS MUNDI’. These latin words stand for the four cardinal points and symbolize the Côtes du Rhône region divided between the Northern (Septentrional) and the Southern (Meridional) appellations and the right and left banks of the Rhone river.

Wine Regions of Languedoc & Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon wine, including the vin de pays labeled Vin de Pays d’Oc, is produced in southern France. While “Languedoc” can refer to a specific historic region of France and Northern Catalonia, usage since the 20th century (especially in the context of wine) has primarily referred to the northern part of the Languedoc-Roussillon région of France, an area which spans the Mediterranean coastline from the French border with Spain to the region of Provence. The area has around 700,000 acres (2,800 km2) under vines and is the single biggest wine-producing region in the world, being responsible for more than a third of France’s total wine production
Languedoc
Chateau Gourgazaud: This estate is 194 acres located in the heart of the “Petit Causse” area. Restored by Roger Piquet it is now recognized as the leader of the appellation. Mr. Piquet retired in 1973 from heading the negociant houses Chantovent, to put all his efforts to Gourgazaud. He strongly believes in traditional vinification and has a strong dislike of carignane. Guy Bascou of Institut Technique du Vin is a consultant and taking in increasingly active role. Reserve is best lots and aged for 9 mo. in new oak.

Languedoc, Roussillon & Le Vins de Provence Mas de Daumas Gassac Way back in 780 CE, Charlemagne’s advisor, Saint Benedict of Aniane, founded the first vineyard in the Gassac valley. Indeed, there are good reasons to believe that he introduced Charlemagne to some of the valley’s early wines. Thus, in common with most truly great wines, the Daumas Gassac Grands Crus were born under the aegis of a prestigious Abbey. Aimé and Véronique Guibert discovered the Arboussas mountainside in the 1970s. Véronique Guibert de la Vaissière, she’s an ethnologist, specialising in Ireland.
Fortant For four generations, Fortant has been on a perpetual quest for excellence at the heart of the Languedoc’s vineyards. Fortant wines are the finest expression of terroir and true varietal character. The wine styles are very much influenced by the nature of the soil’s and climate conditions where the vines grow. Their personality reflects the region’s extraordinary diversity and the great quality potential in its micro-climates.

Clos des Fées “Herve Bizeul practices a ruthlessly controlled viticultural regimen focused on some 130 parcels of selection massale vines in the dramatically rocky, yet clay-permeated limestone environment north of Vingrau, and his pursuit of concentration and purity continues with meticulous selectivity of plots and lots as well as of clusters and berries. Add to this a fruit-pampering vinification, and the result is wines that have turned heads every bit as much as does the local scenery and brought Bizeul well-deserved recognition as a beacon of Roussillon quality.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Montgravet Montgravet comes from vineyards located in the Gascony region, near the city of Toulouse in the South West of France. The climate combines the Oceanic and Mediterranean influences, which brings enough sun and humidity to grow rich, concentrated and ripe grapes. Close to the producers, and in order to source the best vineyards, our winemaker has found some amazing “terroirs” spread on hills. These hills are called “Mont” in French. So as a tribute to the terroir from where the wine comes from we have named in Montgravet, “Gravet” being the name of an oval shaped rock commonly found in the area.

Piemonte Agostino Pavia We want everyone to know the greatness of Barbera d’Asti. The history of the winery Agostino Pavia has always been tied to its region, as shown by its vineyards, all of which are the property of the company. We are Giuseppe and Mauro Pavia, and our aim has always been to create a strong identity with this land, in the commune of Agliano Terme, which we cultivate in order to offer Barbera d’Asti to wine lovers.
Vietti Although the family has made wine for two centuries, the first Vietti-labeled wines were produced by third-generation Mario, who transformed the family’s farm into a grape growing winery. In 1952 Alfredo Currado married Mario’s daughter Luciana and made a name for Vietti’s single-vineyard Barbera and Barolo. He also put the native Piedmont varietal Arneis on the wine map. In 1990 Alfredo and Luciana’s son Luca joined the family business as winemaker after working at California’s Simi Winery, Opus One, Long Vineyards and Bordeaux’s Mouton-Rothschild. His innovative winemaking utilizes a unique combination of the modern and traditional. Luca’s focus on terroir is reflected in his careful cultivation and organic farming of more than 25 single vineyards. Recently he eliminated equipment that measures acid and tannin levels in favor of a more intuitive, and wine-specific approach, and also stopped publishing tasting notes, preferring that wine critics and drinkers apply their own perceptions and preferences to his wines.
Enrico Serafino Enrico Serafino was founded in 1878 in Canale d’Alba, one of the main towns in the Roero region of Piemonte, Italy, which has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages as a farming center for the area. Today the winery still stands in its original location, making it the oldest winery in the region.

Piemonte (continued) Stefano Farina In the 1930’s when Stefano Farina began to get involved in the process of making wine. His three sons Bruno, Giancarlo and Gino promised their father they would never abandon what he loved the most - wine making. It was then that Giancarlo left for Alba to study wine making in one of the most famous institutes of Italy in order to pursue the activity that was so dear to his father. Presently, the commercial activity of the business can boast a number of wine cellars and vineyards in the most prestigious areas of wine production: Pie dmont and Tuscany.
Marchesi di Gresy Alberto di Gresy grew up with a passion for the land and wine. He supervised the agricultural operations of the family estates and concluded early on that he didn’t want to limit himself to selling the grapes from his vineyards to the finest wine producers in the area, as was the tradition in the Langhe. In 1973 he began vinifying his own wine with the objective to produce wine with the best available technology while respecting tradition. His goal was to transfer as much as possible of the character and personality of the terrain vineyards site and varietal into the bottle.

Two generations later, the Moccagatta family together with the Marsiaj family, have transformed a wonderful memory into a real project forever tied to tradition, to the territory and to the production of high quality wine. OTTOSOLDI is the fruit of our enthusiasm and our desire to offer the world a high quality niche brand tied to these values and to the Italian style of living.

Piemonte (continued) Sandrone Luciano Sandrone is one of the leading producers in Barolo. His story is well known: after years of work as a cellarman he purchased his first vineyard on the Cannubi hill. Since their first harvest in 1978, Luciano and his brother Luca have devoted tremendous efforts towards cultivating the finest fruit in their vineyards, which now cover 63 acres in the best parts of Langa and Roero, and to taking extraordinary care in the cellar.
Viberti Early 1900’s Antonio Viberti purchased a small inn and trattoria now known as Bon Padre. Under the guidance of successive generations it has grown to stand for great quality. Gian Luca is now head of wine production. Known for incredible balance and pure varietal flavor. Although small (only 4K cases) they have made a large impact on the premium market.

Marco Felluga Over a century has gone by since the history of the Marco Felluga family intertwined with that of wine. The great war was over and destiny brought the family to Grado on the other side of the coast. It was here that Marco fell in love with the collio and this love led him to live in the area whose heart and soul are its vineyards and its wine.
Russiz Superiore In the Friulano language, Col Disôre refers to a hill in the Russiz territory. In 1648, during Napoleon’s reign, the territory was divided in two—the “Russiz Disôre” (Russiz Superiore), the oldest center of the entire feudal settlement, mainly on the hill, and “Russiz di Sott” (Russiz Inferiore), mostly in the flats.
Gradis’ciutta West of the city of Gorizia, there is a group of hills known as Collio. The Isonzo river flows through this hilly stretch to the southeast, the Iudrio creek to the northwest, while to the south, it merges into the Friulian plain. Gradis’ciutta is not only tied to history and geography, but behind the name which stems from a rural hamlet close to San Floriano del Collio, lies an enduring tradition that dates back to the Austro-Hungarian invasions. Before carrying the name Gradis’ciutta, this place was known as Monsvini, which in Latin means “Mount of Wine.” As a historical notary deed proves, already in 1780, the Princics were producing wine in Kosana. The brand’s name and historical place are known to bear excellent vines. Today, thanks to the work of the entire family, 25 hectares (62 acres) of the total 35 hectares (87 acres) located in Gorizia, Capriva del Friuli, and Dolegna del Collio have been planted to vines.

Riff This top value Pinot Grigio reflects the expertise of acclaimed winegrower Alois Lageder, and the wines he selected from vineyard sources in the “Tre Venezie.” A fourth generation winery owner and winemaker in Alto Adige, Alois Lageder’s long-standing credibility with wine growers gives him access to some of the region’s best Pinot Grigio wines for this special selection.
Alois Lageder The Lageder family has been active in the wine trade for more than 150 years. In 1855, Alois Lageder winery was founded on the edge of Bolzano’s historic centre. Over the years, through the untiring efforts of four generations, the Lageder family has succeeded in purchasing several vineyards and wine estates in some of Alto Adige’s best wine growing areas.
Cembra CEMBRA cantina di montagna is the highest winery on the Trentino mountains. Established in 1952 at the initiative of a group of vine-growers, passionately dedicated to heroic grape growing on the hard-to-reach terraces that are typical in the valley. Cembra is nestled in the area that is also Europe’s leading producer of porphyry, the valley’s red gold, a rock that gives wines extraordinary flavour and persistence.

Emilia-Romagna Umberto Cesari Not far from the ancient Roman Via Emiliana, which connected Mediolanum (Milan) and Riminum (Rimini) in the picturesque hillsides of Emilia-Romagna is the winery of Umberto Cesari. Mr. Cesari is the owner of several vineyard areas: Parolino, La Casetta, Laurneto, Ca Grande and Macolina, which total 53 hectares. The wines produced here are all estate grown and bottled. Ultra modern techniques at the winery include soft pressing of the grapes, controlled fermentation, and cold bottling under a nitrogen blanket. Mr. Cesari is widely considered the expert in Alban production. www.opici.com
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco’s history has been closely linked to that of the Chiarli family for a long time. In 1860 Cleto Chiarli founded the first wine-producing company in the Emilia-Romagna region. Chiarli has a tradition of excellence leading to steady growth which has made it the greatest privately-owned Lambrusco company. The wines are produced from carefully selected and homegrown grapes, with state-of-the-art equipment in an idyllic setting and, above all, with a unique know-how that only over 150 years of tradition can provide.
Due Torrii Dott. Franco Cesari is a dynamic winemaker who has studied winemaking alongside some of Italy’s most prestigious enologists. Franco followed in the footsteps of his father, Gerardo Cesari, who founded the Cesari winery in the Veneto region of Italy in 1936. Franco took over the winery in the 1960s, and has overseen the Cesari estate, which includes 100 hectares of land and four prime vineyards: Bosan, Il Bosco, Jèma, and Cento Filari. But he also committed himself to creating a separate brand of elegant, affordable wines: Due Torri.

In the 1990s they decided to expand our production to include red wines and, after much research, settled on the Colli Berici, a system of terrarossa hills some 15 kilometres (10 miles) east of Soave in the neighbouring province of Vicenza. These two zones share one fundamental element: the possibility to produce wines reflecting a unique terroir.

Italy, Tuscany
Central Region Central Region Coltibuono Badia a Coltibuono (which means Abbey of the Good Harvest), dates from the middle of the eleventh century. Under the guidance of Piero Stucchi Prinetti, the estate grew and built a solid reputation in Italy and abroad through the high quality of its products. Today Piero 4 children run the winery.
Avignonesi In 1974 the Falvo brothers took over Avignonesi. The property is comprised of 4 wine producing estates, Il Poggetti (Montepulciano, produces Vino Nobile), La Selva (hills of the Chiuso di Cortona, produces the French varietals), Le CapezZine (just outside Montepulciano) and La Lombarda (hills of Chiuso della Valdichiana). The total 103 hectares of vineyards. They have been innovative with “new” varietals as well as continually improving on their classics.
Aia Vecchia Aia Vecchia is the name of an old building which is today the centre of a company deep in the Tuscany countryside between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci. This is an area where the particularly favorable microclimate and ideally suited soils make possible the production of very high quality wines. The particular position gives the vines very much light, both direct sunlight as sunlight reflected by the sea. This in general allows an early harvest.
Le Macchiole Le Macchiole was one of the first wineries established in the viticultural zone of Bolgheri. At Le Macchiole, the signature grape varieties are Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc and work is always conducted with the priority being ‘the expression of the land.’ The winery continues to evolve in both the vineyards and in the cellar to allow the soil characteristics from this estate property to be the defining identity in the wines.

Central Region The Carpineto Estate lies 1,300 feet above sea level in Dudda, close to Greve, the heart of Chianti Classico production. Carpineto takes its name from the Greek “Carpos”, meaning fruit. As far back as the ancient Roman era, Carpineto was renowned for viticulture. In 1967, Antonio Zaccheo, from a family of wine growers, purchased Carpineto from the Diocese of Florence. Carpineto os known for wines of matchless intensity and extract. The Wine Spectator placed Carpineto in the top five among Chianti producers.
Tommasi Tommasi is historically and today a standard bearer of the Amarone appellation, and one of the most important quality producers in the Veneto. The family-run estate was founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi in the village of Pedemonte, which lies in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region that extends north-west of Verona. The family owns 234 acres in Valpolicella Classico, making them the single largest land owners in the area. Over the years they have steadily expanded their holdings in other areas of the Veneto, and now own a total of 370 acres.
Casanova di Neri The Casanova di Neri farm began in 1971 when Giovanni Neri bought a large estate within the territory of Ten. Over the years the continuing goal has been the search for and purchasing of land believed to be optimal for growing high quality grapes. As the grapes have improved in quality so more care and attention has been taken in the winery from the vinification to the use of casks of differentsizes and made from different types of wood.
Selvapiana Selvapiana is a typical Tuscan fattoria consisting of the owner’s villa, the cellars and other buildings. For a long time Selvapiana was a summer residence for the Florentine bishops. It then belonged to a series of rich Florentine merchant families including the Scalandroni. Purchased in 1827 by Michele Giuntini Selvapiana, the estate now covers an area of 240 hectares, of which 45 are devoted to vineyards and 31 to olives. Five generations of the Giuntini family have now lived on the estate.
Borgo Scopeto The area of vineyard of Borgo Scopeto consists of 70 hectares, 40 of which is Chianti Classico with various clones of Sangiovese. We also have other vines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. The vineyards of Borgo Scopeto lie at an altitude of between 350 and 420 meters above sea level with a South to South West exposure. The soil is typical of the Chianti classico region ; sandy, shingly, stony and like clay.

Central Region - (cont.) Casale Dello Sparviereo The Casale dello Sparviero is completely surrounded by the hills of Castellina in the Chianti Classico. We deeply believe in the respect of the nature and in small intervention in the vineyards and in the wine, in the accurate selection of the autochthonous grape varieties (Sangiovese, Canaiolo), in the low yeld per hectare, in the perfect match between natural and animal world of our territory, in the deep respect for the vine so that it can give us a grape for a genuine wine.
Poliziano In 1961, Dino Carletti bought 22 hectares of land in the commune of Montepulciano, Tuscany with the desire to reconnect with his cultural heritage by cultivating the vine. Dino planted vineyards in the region and established Poliziano, named as an homage to humanist poet Angelo Ambrogini (1454-1494), known as “Il Poliziano,” who was born in Montepulciano.
Losha The Lohsa vineyard is an innovative wine project developed by Federico Carletti and his family that draws on and expands their extensive regional vine growing and winemaking experience. While Lhosa is part of their realization of the “Terre del Poliziano” project that aims to promote the potential of this prime wine producing area, it is also a stand- alone property of a singular autonomy and distinctiveness.
Caparzo Caparzo, with owner Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini and winemaker Massimo Bracalente, aims to make top quality products using meticulous and traditional techniques, while at the same time applying a modern outlook in its commercial relations with efficiency and capability. Caparzo, bolstered by its background in the Brunello tradition and the different terroirs of the area, has proved its ability to produce wines with a creative flair and spirit of innovation that achieves top standards in quality.
Fattoria Petrolo Petrolo is located in Mercatale Valdarno, in the center of the triangle made by Florence, Siena and Arezzo. There are no notable wine estates nearby, but with the romance and poetry that wine brings, Petrolo exemplifies a theme seen more and more in Tuscany: little pockets, special places where extraordinary and singular wines can be made. The altitude, the galestro soils, the lakes on the property that moderate the temperature, and the biodiversity of the estate – only 76 of 672 acres are planted under vine – all contribute to this special mesoclimate.

Castello delle Regine - www.castellodelleregine.com Castello delle Regine Property of lawyer Paolo Nodari, the company extends for 400 hectares around the fortification known as Castelluccio Amerino which dominates the valley, known as “le Regine” (The Queen) between the communes of Narni and Amelia. From the 1600s, the ownership of the land has been disputed by various families in the area, to the extent that the current property has reconstituted and enlarged the company, redressing the old vocation of cultivating olives and vineyards and attempting to obtain produce of maximum quality.
Garofoli The Garofoli family has been involved in the wine industry for more than five generations. The same philosophy has always guided the estate: constantly updating production techniques while respecting traditional winemaking methods and the unique terrior of the Marche.

La Valentina Fattoria La Valentina was founded in 1990 and is situated near Santa Teresa in the municipality of Spoltore, on the hills near Pescara. After a few years’ study of the sector, the winery’s main objective is that of achieving quality and promoting Abruzzo’s DOC wines. They have fitted the winery with the most up to date equipment and gradually increased the available vineyards. The modern winery is surrounded by Monepulciano and Trebbiano vineyards, uses avant-garde technology and is divided into two buildings. www.dallaterra.com
Giancarlo In 1895 it is founded by Enrico Verga and from four generations it has been handed on by father in son with the same respect to the tradition. After one century of activity, today the Wine House holds a leading role in the wine market of the great Italian distribution and it is well appreciated on the foreign market. Currently the company is managed by Natale Verga with the effective collaboration of the father Giancarlo and the sisters Cristina and Laura.
Villa MatildeI In the 1950s and early ’60s, a successful lawyer named Francesco Paolo Avallone set out on a unique mission: bringing this favorite of emperors back to life. In cooperation with the University of Naples, his research team found the best surviving vines and patiently grafted cuttings onto new rootstock. Decades of inspired and dedicated work ultimately bore splendid fruit: 20 original clones of Aglianico, Piedirosso (both red) and Falanghina (white), trademarked at Rauscedo as Villa Matilde. Since the estate’s first official vintage in 1976, these exclusive Villa Matilde clones have become the red Falerno del Massico and its white brethren, direct descendants of those celebrated by Virgil and Horace.

Contrade The Contrade wines are produced in the historic cellars of MASSERIA LI VELI with grapes from a small group of local farmers and made according to the highest standards of quality. The Falvo Family started this project in 2015 to identify and raise awareness of the best indigenous grape varietals in this prolific and ancient region, making wines that express both the traditions and the elegance of Puglia. Contrade, from Latin, signifies the parcels of land, bordered by olive trees or other natural features, that become identifiable by their name. The ancient Contrada Veli, the building block of our territory, was mentioned in a 17th century map and was divided into Veli Grandi and Veli Piccoli. The name Veli has remained to identify the area and the Masseria as well, which was built later in 1895.

The cradle of this story is the land of Puglia, whose territory and climate make it one of the best Italian regions producing excellent wine. The grapes used, grown in endless vineyards, are carefully chosen and worked, and then let age in barrels and bottles in the fresh air of a winery in Monteroni. Apollonio’s story is long and intense.

Masseria Surani Masseria Surani is a new project in Puglia started by Tommasi, one of the historical and leading producers of Amarone, and one of the most important quality producers in the Veneto.
Caparra e Siciliani Caparra and Siciliani, two families with an ancient agrarian tradition, producers of wine since the 19th century decide in 1963 to establish the “ Caparra & Siciliani” firm that acts exclusively in the sectors of “Cirò” and “ Cirò Classico” using grapes only from its partners’ vineyards that extend to over 213 hectares.

Terre Dell’Etna The great travellers of the Nineteenth Century described the foothills of Mount Etna as a genuine Mediterranean garden, where the vineyards carpeted the whole territory, stretching upward from the coast to the hills. On the northern and eastern slopes of the volcano, here the vineyards of winery’s partners rise: their profound knowledge of the land imbued with a feeling of territorial redemption and a desire to breathe life into the soul of this lava soil, formed by the crumbling of various types of volcanic rock, all these are inherent in the cultivation of the prestigious winegrape varieties and the production of high quality wines, which have all the aroma and flavor of this volcanic land, yet differ from each other.
CVA Canicattì In the heart of Agrigento’s countryside lie lands with an ancient viticultural history, where countless rows of vineyards draw scenic geometries in the landscape. These magic lands are the Lands of Nero d’Avola, and find their best expressions in the wines of CVA Canicattì. Since 1969, over 480 vignerons united by their love for these lands have pooled their efforts in CVA Canicattì. For over 40 years CVA Canicattì has been redefining the concept of viticultural quality, through important investments in technology and management. The work of every single vigneron is driven by a shared philosophy, and projected towards the valorisation of the agricultural and historical traits of one of Sicily’s most versed viticultural areas.
Santadi The Sulcis peninsula, in the island’s southwest, is Sardinia’s most ancient area, geologically speaking; rich in archaeological sites and artifacts, its landscape offers an astonishing palette of variations and contrasts. Santadi vineyards cover an impressive 1,235 acres of prime, gently rolling terrain reaching right out to the sea; all within an 18-mile radius from the winery so that fruit can be conveyed in minimal time. The soil is unique, its sandy nature conducive to the survival of pre-Phylloxera rootstock.

Vintners overcame a challenging vintage to deliver open-knit, fruity Rieslings supported by ripe acidity Ideal harvest conditions delivered fruit-forward, open-knit and balanced wines with opulent flavors and textures Cool growing season led to wines full of acidity and dense flavors. Exceptionally low yields.

G & M Machmer (Bechtheim) The Machmer family has always been involved in viticulture, but it was not until Georg Machmer that their estate wines were bottled. His son, Markus, now continues the tradition and is producing wines of high quality. The vines are cultivated on fertile loamy soils, and spicy Gewurztraminer flourishes well in this warm micro-climate.
Georg Albrecht Schneider (Nierstein) For 7 generations the Schneider family has owned the estate, and now three generations are at work. Fifteen hectares in Nierstein belong to the estate, over 40% of which are Riesling. Red sandstone soils are predominant which yield rich and flavourful wines.

Dr. Heyden This is an exciting new estate, which has been established with the assistance of Friedrich Baumann. Dr Karl Heyden founded the estate in 1999. His son, Frank, has studied at the famous Geisenheim viticultural institute. This talented generation is crafting fine wines from these highly rated vineyards.
Fitz-Ritter (Bad Dürkheim) The town of Dürkheim, in the foothills of the German forest, marks the Middle Haardt region of the Pfalz. The area is favored by a warm micro-climate. The Fitz-Ritter family estate dates back to 1785 and is owned and managed by the 8th generation.
Paul Anheuser At the end of the 19th Century, Rudolf Anheuser was the first grower in the Nahe region to start the cultivation of vineyards planted solely with Riesling. Today, the 13th generation owns and manages the estate.
Bex Chemistry is everything! The Riesling grapes from Germany’s scenic Nahe vineyards are handpicked and crushed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation and never sees any oak so as to preserve its bright fruit characteristics. Winemaker: Alex Cose

Wwe. Dr. H Thanisch At the end of the 18th Century, the Thanischs acquired the Berncaseleer Doctor vineyard. This very steep site with deep devon slate structure is situated behind and overlooking the rooftops of the quaint old town of Bernkastel. A great part of the quality of this vineyard is due to the Doctor Cellar which is hewn deep into the rocks beneath the vineyard.
Bollig-Lehnert Stefan Bollig, young and passionately devoted to his work, is a fine example of the new generation of Mosel vintners. Bollig’s wines are stylish, crisp and classic with a fine, fruity elegance and good mineral content, not showing excessive sweetness. The fine, pronounced, yet ripe acidity gives his wines plenty of maturing potential.

Hirschbach & Söhne For quite a while we have been researching the possibility of creating our own brand of German wines. A brand that would allow us to create a selection of some of the most popular regions but also wines from some of the most famous vineyard sites. An opportunity to source all of these possibilities presented itself through an association with the proprietors of the famous Dr. Thannisch estate, owners of the celebrated Bernkasteler Doctor. Through their regional facility they are able to obtain on our behalf wines that no other bottler was willing to gather for us. We have tasted this wine selection over a period of several years prior to deciding what our final choices would be. The Label: Hirschbach literally translates to mean “Stag Brook” as the graphic illustrates. It evokes a pleasant scene that is symbolic of the generous and friendly style of these wines. We know that they will be a great success. We guarantee their quality, packaging as well as the wines themselves.

Disznoko Disznókő spreads over 250 acres at the south-west entrance of the Tokaj region. Tokaj is thought to be the first vineyard region in the world to have adopted a classification system and, incredibly, the entire Disznókő estate was classified as a first growth property in 1772 at the time of the initial classification by royal decree. The estate’s vineyards today are still wholly classified as first growth. The Disznókő estate is essentially a hill of volcanic clay soil with perlite pebbles: at the top of the hill is the boar-shaped rock from which the estate takes its name, and the vineyards are arranged down the southern slope, with the winery at the bottom of the slopes. The vineyard is protected by the cold northern winds by the Zemplén hills right behind it, and draws light and heat from its southerly exposure..

Biohof Pratsch Biohof Pratsch is a relatively small, 13.5 hectare estate comprised of 13 single vineyards in the Niederosterreich region (Lower Austria) all maintained under organic certification for over 10 years by the Pratsch family, Wilhelm and Anneliese and their son, Stefan. Organic winegrowing to them is more than just the elimination of pesticides, fungicides and artificial fertilizers, but rather part of a larger, holistic philosophy of dedication to the land and the quality of the wines.

Domaine Karydas Over 20 years ago Konstantinos Karydas established Karydas Estate in Ano Gastra, one of the most wellknown grape-growing regions of Naoussa. His immaculately kept six acres of Xinomavro vines are planted on the hill of Gastra in sandy, clay and limestone soils, noted for their good drainage. In 1994, he built his winery in the middle of the vineyard and, shortly thereafter, his son Petros joined him to produce his first vintage under his own label. Their mission? To produce an old school, traditional single-vineyard Xinomavro with very little intervention.
Kir-Yianni Established by Yiannis Boutaris (current mayor of Thessaloniki, 2nd largest city of Greece) in 1997 and now actively managed by his son Stellios.KirYianni (which translates to “Sir John”) owns two estate vineyards located in Naoussa and Amyndeon in northwestern Greece. Producing both white and red varietals, native and international, Kir-Yianni’s main focus is on Xinomavro. (100% bottling, blends, single vineyards, sparkling, rosé).
Skouras Winery George Skouras was born in Argos, Peloponnesos, a city with a 3,000 year history. He went to work for various wineries in France and Italy after receiving an Oenology degree from University of Dijon, France. He then returned to Greece and worked for a number of Greek wineries up until 1986.That year he established his own winery in Pyrgela, a small village on the outskirts of his home town Argos. George and his small but truly dedicated team are always hard at work with the seasonal routines of the wineries. Never still, but never in a hurry, George steers his ambition for maintaining quality and his enthusiasm for new wines with a dexterity that brings national and international distinction to his products.

Douloufakis Winery Douloufakis Winery was established in 1930 by Dimitris Douloufakis and is now run by his grandson, Nikolas. The privately owned vineyards are certified 100% organic and span over 70 acres of hillside land in Dafnes, a village close to Iraklio in Crete. This region has a long history in viticulture and also has been established as a Protected Designation of Origin for Liatiko wines.
Alexakis Winery The Alexakis family is one of the most important ambassadors of Cretan wine. It is the largest privately owned winery in Crete and during its long path has collaborated with all the winegrowers on the island. The result is high quality wines that truly represent the Cretan terroir. The winery is a family affair. Stelios Alexakis, chemical engineer turned winemaker is still in charge of the winery with his wife Sofia responsible for quality control. Children Apostolos and Lazaros, who literally grew up in the winery, join their father as winemakers and are now responsible for the planning and production, successfully transferring the valuable knowledge and insight of their parents. The Alexakis wines draw on a deep understanding of the Cretan vineyards (varieties, soil, local weather conditions and viticulture); long years of collaboration have allowed the company to choose the most suitable vineyards and the best growers, to produce the highest quality wines on Crete.
Domaine Sigalas Founded in 1991, Sigalas wines were initially made at the converted Sigalas family home. In 1998 a new vinification, bottling and aging unit was built in a privately owned area of Oia, on the northern part of Santorini. Here the Santorini Assyrtiko as well as the Aidani, Athiri, Mandilaria and Mavrotragano varietals thrive. The vineyards for these varietals are considered the oldest continuously cultivated vineyards in the world, over 3000 years. The volcanic soils and climate of the viticulture area are the most unique and this “terrior” can not be replicated anywhere else in the world. This is indeed a very special place. The Sigalas Assyritko is arguably one of the most acclaimed white wines in the world.

Attica
Attica is in reality a large peninsula with natural borders the Geraneia range and the mountains of Kithairon, Parnitha and Penteli, receiving at the same time the beneficial sea breeze as its whole southern part is embraced by the sea. All of these elements combined with the diversity of its subsoil in terms of composition and of course its warm, dry climate near the mountains make the vineyard of Attica one of the most important vineyards in Greece.

Vintage Classifications and Production Spanish wine law recognizes only five grades of quality for a vintage, which has to be declared by the Consejo Regulardo in the spring after harvest. The grades are: Excelente (*****) - excellent; Muy buena (****) - very good; Buena (***) - good; Normal (**) - normal; Mediana(*) - average. There is a popular supposition that a small harvest is a good harvest. This is not borne out by the facts, as the figures (right) indicate. The table record the vintage year, quality, quantity in hectolitres (hl), how many hectares (ha) were planted, and yield in hectolitres per hectare (hl/ha). A hectolitre (hl) is 100 liters (22 gallons), or 11 cases of a dozen bottles of wine. A hectare is 2.471 acres. As a benchmark, the maximum yield for the Appellation Bordeaux in France is 50hl/ha.
Rioja Classification and Ageing Rioja wines must be aged in barricas (oak casks of 225 liters). These tend to be made of American white oak. Although French oak - at double the price - is gaining in popularity. Joven - a wine that has had less than 12 months in oak, or, indeed, none at all. It may be released at any time the producer chooses. Crianza - a wine that has been aged for at least 12 months in oak, and a further 12 months in tank or bottle. Reserva - a wine that has been aged for at least 12 months in oak, 12 months in bottle, and 12 months in tank or bottle or oak. Gran Reserva - a wine that has been aged for at least 24 months in oak, and at least 36 months in bottle.

Spain Buil & Giné Wine Co. S.L. started wine elaboration in the winter of 1996, in the spring of 1998 they introduced their first wine: Giné Giné 1997. The wine was named after the founder’s grandfather, who had always been a wine grower and active member of the wine industry in Priorat. The present generation is dedicated to growing grapes and producing outstanding wines in each of the two leading wine making regions, located in the North East of Spain: Priorat and Montsant D.O. With the same commitment to excellence, Buil & Giné Wine Co. S.L. has created their own 100% Tinta del Toro wine at Toro D.O., as well as their 100% Verdejo from Rueda D.O.
Mas Igneus - Some Organic Mas Igneus is one of the most recent wineries in the Priorat area and the first to produce organic wines. The top of the range, FA112, is produced almost entirely from “Coster” vineyards that produce grapes with the most concentration. FA 206 is made from a combination of Coster and Terrassa vineyards. FA refers to Fusta Allier, Catalan for “Allier Wood”, while the numbers refer to the age of the barrel and the months spent in it. Therefore, FA112 is in a 1st year barrels for 12 months, and the FA206 spends 06 months in 2nd year barrels.
Bodegas Ateca Bodegas Ateca has its headquarters in the locality of Atteca(Zaragoza), fourteen kilometers from Calatayud. The Vineyard, planted on slate soil on sites at higher elevations of the area is made up mainly of small parcels of old vines of Garnacha from the mountain hillside of Atteca and the surrounding villages.
Ferrer Bobet Ferrer Bobet is located in the Porrera region, amid beautiful natural surroundings that boast a number of advantages for viticulture and which were in fact pivotal in the decision to opt for these lands. At Ferrer Bobet, all of this is combined with almost exclusively slate soils, known locally as llicorella, which are a feature of only the top vineyards in the Priorat and which play such a key part in the unique personality of these wines.

Planted between pine and olive trees on terraces of black slate and quartz soils known as llicorella, the vines produce very low yields of Garnacha, Cariñena and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are grown close to the estate ensuring the grapes are harvested in optimum conditions.
Wine from the Carinena DO is locally referred to as “El Vino de las Piedras,” or “The Wine from Stones.” The soil varies from redish-brown limestone, to schist and slate.

Rioja The Rioja DOC is divided to 3 major sub regions, Alavesa, Alta and
the famous early ripening tempranillo, along with support from
Baja. The Sierra de Cantabria range of mountains protect the region
Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. Whites are light and refreshing
from cold Atlantic ocean winds. Reds are mostly crafted from
mainly featuring Viura with a touch of Malvasia and Garnacha Blanca.

Marques de Caceres Named one of the “Top 3 Spanish Value Brands of the Year” - Wine and Spirits 2006. Henri Forner and his family returned from France to his homeland Spain in 1970. During his years in France he had restored Ch. Camensac and Larose Trintaudon to its former premium level. Using his knowledge of Bordeaux, with the assistance of consultants Emile Peynaud and Michel Rolland, he released the first vintage of Marques de Caceres estate bottle riojo in 1975. They continue to stand for quality, value and innovation.
R. Lopez de Heredia Founded in 1877, López de Heredia stands out as one of the few worldwide wineries that respects and adheres to core principles taught by their ancestors. Little about this winery has changed in the 135 years since it’s founding by Don Rafael López de Heredia. The family adheres to a winemaking doctrine blueprinted in the 1880’s - to make wine only from their own vineyards.
Telmo Rodriguez Telmo Rodriguez is one of Spain’s pioneer winemakers, advocating native grape varietals tied to the climates and conditions of their sites, and making world-class wines from undiscovered as well as known regions. Perhaps most impressive, while Telmo Rodriguez makes rare and limited wines of astonishing character and quality, his everyday wines have been equally praised, and widely recognized for the tremendous value they offer.

Spain This is a family cellar has focused on quality from its very beginnings, with much hard work and intense dedication. Currently, 500.000 bottles are produced yearly and this limited production allows for strict controls of the whole winemaking process from its very beginning.
Goyo Garcia A native son of the Ribera del Duero, Goyo is a consultant of organic viticulture for many Ribera del Duero bodegas. On the side, Goyo makes profoundly pure, natural wines from single old vine parcels. Thanks to an intimate knowledge of the Ribera del Duero terruño, Goyo brings us frighteningly complex, transparent, and effortless wines.
Bodegas Tridente One of the last projects undertaken by Gil Family Estates in order to produce wines from the red varieties of grapes native of Castilla and Leon. The winery is located in Villanueva de Campeán in the province of Zamora. The varieties we work with on this project are Tinta de Toro, Mencía and Prieto Picudo. The technical direction in the years 2009 and 2010 has been in charge of the New Zealand winemaker Amy Hopkinson.

Spain The Rodriguez family are longtime farmers in the “Sacred Banks” and are now one of the leading producers in Spain’s premiere region for powerful, yet elegant, and terroir driven wines. Through fantastic farming and careful winemaking, Guímaro produces single vineyard and village wines that are singular, exotic, and complex.

Lousas, named for the slate soils in Ribeira Sacra, give the name to the project there.
DaTerra For almost a decade Laura Lorenzo was the winemaker and viticulturist at the venerable Dominio do Bibei. In 2014, she struck out on her own, and now works about 4.5 hectares of very old parcels in the Val do Bibei sub-zone of Ribeira Sacra. Through her meticulous work in the vineyards, Laura’s goal is to cultivate life in the soils that were once damaged by industrial viticulture, and to bring harmony to the vineyards. In the winery, Laura ferments with wild yeasts, utilizes previously used oak and concrete for fermentation and elevage, and only adds small amounts of SO2 during the winemaking process, with no clarification, filtration, or adjustments to the wines.
Bodegas Juan Gil The winery dates from 1916, when Juan Gil Gimenez, great grandfather of the present generation, started getting involved in the world of wines, building a winery in the heart of Jumiila. His son, Juan Gil Gerrero, dedicated his whole life to the wine business, but it was the third generation who really consolidated the winery. Juan Gil Gonzales with his brother Paco forged the image of quality, reliability and efficiency with the present generation trying to maintain and improve as much as possible.
Bodegas El Nido The Bodegas El Nido project is the result of the collaboration of the Juan Gil Family and Chris Ringland (One of the best Australian enologists). The winery is located in the Valle de La Aragona, inside the Murica district of Jumilla and surroundings. The Vineyards are 76.8 acres of very old Monatrell Vines, all vasa trained and oriented northeast and 28.8 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon planted 30 years ago on smooth hills looking north.
Gómez Nevado Gómez Nevado has the claim to being Spain’s first certified organic wine producer. They work vineyards, north of Córdoba, high up in the Sierra Morena. These are apple-y, structured, & umamirich unfortified wines made in the traditional solera system.

Hamilton Russel Located in the cool, southerly, maritime Walker Bay appellation, in a beautiful valley behind the old fishing village of Hermanus; Hamilton Russel Vineyards specializes in producing internationally acclaimed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. When Anthony Hamilton Russell (owner of Hamilton Russell Vineyards and founder of Southern Right) returned to South Africa in 1991 he was enthused with the idea of creating something particularly classic and individual from South Africa. So he created South African Benchmark Blends and Ashbourne label was born.
Essay The Essay wines are a blended white and a blended red produced by the M•A•N Family Wines team. These wines best “Mediterranean” style that works exceptionally well in our area. They are unique blends of varieties that thrive in our area: the Agter-Paarl and Swartland region of South Africa. Essay is a play on words: “SA” is the popular abbreviation for “South Africa” used by most people here in the South of Africa, and it also implies an “assemblage” or blending of ingredients to create a whole greater than its parts.
Reyneke In 1988, the Reyneke family bought the farm Uitzicht, on the ridge of the Polkadraai Hills, with spectacular views of Stellenbosch. Johan Reyneke began the lengthy process of the conversion from conventional farming to organic practices to a method of farming which was in accordance with biodynamic principles. Reyneke wines are certified by Debio (Norway) and IFOAM (Europe). Reyneke was the first farm in South Africa to achieve certification by Demeter International. The Cornerstone Project (Cornerstone is known as Capstone in the US.) Cornerstone projects go to projects benefitting our workers and their families. To date, four worker families have been rewarded with their own homes, and currently we’re funding tertiary education for our rst ‘farm child’. It’s a small start but it will take us all down the path to the way things should be.”

Stark Conde Stark-Condé Wines is a family-run winery making hand-crafted wines using traditional methods. Total production is less than 3000 cases, making it one of South Africa’s few true boutique wineries. Meticulous viticulture, selected harvesting, grape-sorting, small-batch fermenting, careful barrel maturation - these are the guiding philosophies. Vineyard elevation range from between 200 to 500 metres above sea level.
Man Vinyards This MAN thing all began with three friends and an idea: to make a wine that we ourselves would love to buy. Good quality, good value, good packaging. Although most of the wines are designated “Wine of Western Cape,” we have tried to find unique parcels of grapes in different regions and to leave them as unblended as possible. The design elements from the label are borrowed from traditional African motifs that appear in local fabrics, engravings, and beadwork.
Boekenhoutskloof In 1652 Jan van Riebeeck, a Dutch surgeon, eager to find a way to relieve the symptoms of scurvy, suggested to the Dutch East India Company that the Cape Province of South Africa would be suitable for growing grapes. Boekenhoutskloof, its homestead dating from 1784, is located in the Franschhoek Valley. The owners of Boekenhoutskloof have revamped an ancient cellar, and have installed stateof-the-art equipment as well as a quality maturation cellar.
Constantia Ideally located below Constantia Nek, just moments from the bustling Cape Town city center, Constantia Glen is a picturesque boutique wine estate producing ultra-premium, cool climate wines. The property is situated at an altitude of 130-270 metres above sea level, with cold maritime breezes from the Atlantic, directly off False Bay. Dryland cultivation under these cool climatic conditions results in slow ripening, low yields with exceptional grape quality and favour concentration.

Chamonix Chamonix is nestled against Mont Rochelle mountain, deep within the rich wine-growing valley of Franschhoek in the Western Cape. Chamonix today comprises some 300 hectares. As purists, we have always believed that to produce a wine of character, containing all elements of grape, unique terroir, and process, it is essential that only Chamonix grapes are used.
Tormentoso “Cabo Tormentoso” (Cape of Storms) is the original European name for the Cape of Good Hope, given to it by the explorer Bartholomieu Dias, who first rounded the Cape in 1488. The vines grow in a dry area with little irrigation, but the shale soils of the Agter Paarl region allow the roots to penetrate deeply, to get to the moisture reserves.

Vista da Regua While we have owned our vineyards since 1685, we only started bottling our wines under our label in 1996 - almost 300 years later! As other like-minded, quality-oriented wine producers have done in Portugal, we realized the potential of our vineyards and traditions and began bottling the wines ourselves instead of only selling our grapes. Vista de Régua grows grapes in the Douro Wine Region, one of the oldest wine regions in the world. Our wines show great diversity, using only native grapes unknown to so many people, but unique and exclusive for those looking for – wines with passion. We show how the region influences and enhances the quality of our wines.
Neige Driven by a passionate desire to create an authentic product inspired by the bracing chill of the Quebec winter, François Pouliot, a well-known film producer, helped to develop the first apple ice wine in 1994 at his boutique cidery, La Face Cachée de la Pomme (The Hidden Face of the Apple) in Hemmingford, Québec. Neige, which means snow in French, is made from the pressed juice of apples, which is concentrated as it freezes during the cold Québec winters.

Port Wine Warres Founded in 1670, Warre & Co. is the oldest and one of the most highly esteemed port shipping firms in the world. William Warre joined as partner in 1729, and the company became known as Warre. The Warre family worked in the wine trade at Oporto for over 200 years. Sir William Warre, grandson of the Warre dynasty’s founder, distinguished himself as a lieutenant general under the Duke of Wellington, defending Portugal against Napoleon’s invasion. The vast lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, where ports are still aged and stored, were built in 1890 by George Warre, a nephew of Sir William. Andrew James Symington, great-grandfather of the current managing director of Warre’s, sailed to Portugal in 1863. After establishing himself as a well-known merchant in the port trade, he became associated with Warre’s in 1905. In 1912 the Warre family chose to return to England where they would look after sales, while the Symingtons managed operations in Portugal. Today James Symington is the director of Warre & Co. Ltd.

Hess Collection The Hess Collection winery traces its beginning to 1978, when Swiss entrepreneur Donald Hess purchased vineyard land on Mount Veeder. Hess’ European perspective led him to choose this location 2,000 feet above sea level with its diverse mix of exposures, thin volcanic and sedimentary soils, and low yielding vines. He understood that grapes grown on the mountains express themselves differently than those grown on the valley floor. Hess Collection wines from Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, reveal the mountain’s personality of complexity, intensity and structure.

Tieton Cider Works The fruit that is used in Tieton Cider Works cider comes Harmony Orchards. This land has been in our family since the 1920’s when our grandfather planted his first trees in Tieton. A love of land, food and drink has inspired us to make cider with the fruit we are growing at our ranch. We know the ciders we make are an expression of the harvest and reflective of the fruit and the place that it is grown.
Mission Trail Cider Growing up in the vineyards of Sonoma County, California, brothers, Monte and Victor Jones have been surrounded by the entrepreneurial wine making spirit from birth. Realizing their true and shared passion for fruit-growing and wine making, Monte and Victor began developing their own vineyards and orchards in Bradley, California. It is here that the brothers’ desire to create a sustainable and authentically unique product- is realized. Inspired by the region’s abundance of fruit turned their visions to jerkum, cider and perry making, creating products that could bear no name other than, “Mission-Trail”.
Bodegas Mayador Today, the orchards are situated fairly close to the coast near the small town of Villaviciosa in the Asturias region of Spain. In Villaviciosa, Mayador ‘Limited Production’ Sidra Espumante is produced in the traditional manner of the centuries old Spanish sidra culture. Its excellent microclimate favors the development and growth of apple groves, which provide the most coveted fruit for the preparation of sidra: acid, sweet and sour Asturian apples.

Gary Brody Kosher Selections it would normally have a hechsher (seal of approval) of a kosher certification agency, or of an authoritative rabbi who is preferably also a posek (decisor of Jewish law), or be supervised by a beth din (Jewish religious court of law). In recent times, there has been an increased demand for kosher wines and a number of wine producing countries now produce a wide variety of sophisticated kosher wines under strict rabbinical supervision, particularly in Israel, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Chile and Australia.
Kosher Wine is grape wine produced according to Judaism’s religious law, specifically, Jewish dietary laws (kashrut). To be considered kosher, Sabbath-observant Jews must supervise and sometimes handle the entire winemaking process, from the time the grapes are crushed until the wine is bottled and any ingredients use, including finings, must be kosher. Wine that is described as “kosher for Passover” must be kept free from contact with chametz, examples being grain, bread and dough. When kosher wine is produced, marketed and sold commercially,

More recently, Compagnie Vinicole Baron Edmond de Rothschild bought a hundred hectares of land at the foot of the Andes. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and his wife Ariane have continued the production of top quality wines with the highest of standards, both in terms of the choice of new “terriors” and at each stage of vinification.

Don Alfonso When Don Alfonso ruled Spain in the 14 century, he realized that the prosperity of Spain depended on bringing people of disparate background together. He called its vineyards “the paradise of heaven” and proclaimed “its castles were gladdened by its good wines.” The vineyards in Chile from where these wines come are said to have been settled by Don Alfonso’s descendants.

Chateau Rollan De By The Rollan de By Estate have been producing Kosher wines since 2001. The process of preparing Kosher Wines is the same as any wine, except that rabbinical delegates or “Shomrims” have to be mandated by the Consistory of Paris to undertake a series of operations. Once the harvest is carried out by the team, only rabbinical delegates are allowed to operate all the necessary manipulations for the vinification of the Kosher wine, until it’s bottled and labeled. We also produce “Mevushal” wines. Unlike other Kosher wines, they are flash pasteurized, which allow them to be shared by non-practitioners guests.
Herzog Pierre Miodownick, a native of Beziers, France, has been producing some of France’s most exceptional wines for over two decades. Mr. Miodownick learned his craft as a hired hand at local vineyards while in his early 20’s. Though he originally started making non-kosher wine, his religious awakening spurred him to develop truly world class kosher wines that tasted as good as their non-kosher counterparts.

Binyamina Binyamina Winery was established in 1952 by Joseph Zeltzer, who immigrated to Israel with a burning desire to produce wine as he did in the country of his birth, Hungary. Initially called Eliaz Winery—named after the owner’s son who fell in battle during Israel’s War of Independence, the winery started out in a region considered at that time to be Israel’s wine region.
Domaine du Castel Born in cosmopolitan Alexandria and educated in England, Italy and Switzerland, winemaker Eli Ben Zaken moved to Israel, first working in agriculture and later in the restaurant business. Eli had no formal winemaking education; when he had to decide whether or not to turn Domaine du Castel from a hobby into a formal business he was faced with a formidable challenge. Eli recalled how a sentiment voiced by Winston Churchill was very apt at this time, as he felt as though he “were walking with Destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial … I was sure I should not fail” (Winston Churchill, May 1940). Domaine du Castel’s goal is simple: strive to make classic and elegant wines.

Carmel Winery Carmel Winery is the historic winery of Israel. It was founded in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, owner of Château Lafite in Bordeaux. Carmel owns the two largest wineries in Israel, at Rishon Le Zion, south of Tel Aviv and at Zichron Ya’acov, south of Haifa. Each has deep underground cellars built by Rothschild in the 19th century. The story of Carmel represents the story of Israel, and the recent developments of Carmel’s wine, symbolizes the revolution of Israeli wine in recent years. Carmel Winery has 3,472 acres of vineyards, which cover the land of Israel from the Upper Galilee in the north, to the Negev in the south. Carmel’s winemakers can therefore choose from vineyards with different terroirs from all the wine regions in Israel. Carmel has a particularly strong vineyard presence in the cooler climate of the Upper Galilee, from where many of the leading wines are sourced.
Dalton The Dalton Winery, near Kerem Ben Zimra, is set in the beautiful green, mountainous country of the Upper Galilee, five kilometres from the Lebanese border, overlooking the Hermon Mountain. The Winery was established in 1995 when the Haruni family from England came to settle in Israel. The Winery produces quality kosher wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Since the establishment of the winery, the Upper Galilee area has been transformed into a successful mainstream tourist destination, surrounded by beauty and history. Dalton is the only winery situated in this area, and can boast that it is one of the few wineries in Israel located minutes from all its vineyards.

Drappier Champagne Drappier is a family owned house based in the Côte des Bar in the Aube region of Champagne and run by Michel Drappier, the latest in his family to tend the land that has been accumulated by the Drappiers since 1808. The 50 plus hectares in and around Urville, in the Aube, were carefully chosen by Drappier’s ancestors for their excellent exposure and high limestone content, to produce wines full of character. With two hundred years of experience supporting him and a wide range of skills inherited from his predecessors, Michel Drappier, named ‘the most dynamic producer in the Aube*’, strives to nurture a particular style of genuine wine-making that extends well beyond the technical while at the same time improving it through little details which make all the difference.

Tishi Winery The past is the best prophecy of the future� This saying symbolizes the traditional-modern approach with which this winery operates today. Although the winery is most definitely a commercial and progressive enterprise, a meticulous eye is always still kept on the grapes, which are cultivated and handpicked in their vineyards. The geographic locations of the vineyards have been carefully chosen from the optimal vine-growing regions in the country - from Sde Boker in the south, to the Golan Heights in the north.
Tulip Winery In 2003, the Yitzhaki family fulfilled a special dream of theirs and established a boutique winery that combines top quality wine production, alongside contribution to the community.The family chose to locate the winery on a hillside, in the northern edge of the Carmel Mountain, in a small pastoral village, Kfar Tikva, overlooking the magnificent views of the Jezreel Valley. Today, Tulip Winery is considered to be a rising star in the Israeli wine industry, due to the high standard wine production, with no compromises, starting from the selection of top quality vineyards; using the most advanced technology, and always providing full value for money.
Yatir Winery Yatir is a small and high quality winery which was founded in 2000 as a joint venture between the grape-growers of the area and Carmel Winery. The winery was built at the foot of the famous Tel Arad archeological site, which features the ruins of a 3000 year old Canaanite city and from the later period of Judea. It is the connection with Judea which encouraged the winery to choose The Lion of Judah as the logo of Yatir Winery. The viticulturists and winemakers of the winery are committed to the highest quality, and aim to emphasize the uniqueness of their vineyards through the character and quality of their wines.

Zion Dolev In 1848, Rabbi Mordechai Avraham Shor, head of Tifereth Israel Yeshiva, and his son, Rabbi Yitzchak Shor, established a winery to serve the growing Ashkanazi population in Jerusalem. The western wall of the winery was formed by a part of the Wailing Wall. Rabbi Yitzchak warned people against touching the wall, and placed wine barrels along the wall to protect it. In 1925, the winery was moved out of the Old City, into the Bet Israel neighborhood. in 1982, the business was transferred to Mishor Adumim, where Zvika Shor is now the current winemaker, continuing the tradition from father to son, father to son.

Bartenura Ovadia ben Abraham of Bertinoro, near Forlì, was a rabbi and was commonly known as “The Bartenura.” Born in the second half of the 15th century in Italy, became rabbi in Bertinoro, a town in the province of Forlì whence he derived his by-name, and in Castello. This winery was named in his honor, in tribute to his Italian heritage, combining his greatness with the storied heritage of Italian winemaking. The wines have been sourced from all over the greatest regions of Italy, in pursuit of bringing the best Italy has to offer.
Borgo Reale The quality of the Borgo Reale wines are the result of the work that takes place in the vineyard and of the selection of the best quality grapes. Most important though is in the delicate phase of vinification that the wines essential qualities are brought out. Qualities that will be polished and enhanced through maturation in barrel or bottle and will be released in the glass when the wine is finally opened and enjoyed. It is for this reason that Borgo Reale is committed to the continual updating of its wine making technology and training of its highly qualified viticultural and oenological staff.

Goose Bay Winery Goose Bay’s approach to winemaking is rather simple. Goose Bay’s winemakers also don’t believe in building a winery business by constantly talking about how great they are. They are in the business because they love the life...the viticulture, the winemaking, the marketing and the people they work with and meet. They also love doing unusual and challenging things...such as kosher.
Quevedo Quevedo is part of a new generation of small family wineries based in the Douro. For many years, these families were growing grapes, and making Port wine, for merchants based in Vila Nova de Gaia. We cultivate 100 ha of vineyards across six properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-regions of the Cima Corgo and the Douro Superior. The diversity of our vineyards provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors to help us craft our wine.
Capcanes Capçanes winery in Montsant is the very first winery in Spain to produce a kosher wine in the 20th century. Capçanes dates back to the 19th century and was one of the many victims of the grape vine infection Phylloxera in Spain. After being nearly wiped out, in 1933, five families joined forces to create the co-operative of Capçanes. Over the years the co-operative grew steadily until 1995, when a Jewish family from Barcelona requested that they make the first Kosher wine in Spain, Capçanes agreed. This meant the installation of new equipment allowing the winemakers to identify, isolate and vinify under controlled non Mevushal conditions, small parcels of quality fruit.
Elvi Elvi wines is a family-owned company dedicated exclusively to the production and marketing of high-quality kosher wines and kosher sparkling wines such as cava. Elvi is very proud to be one of the very few families that since 1492 has had the privilege of dedicating themselves exclusively to viticulture and the production of kosher wines and cava in a variety of DO in Spain. Their challenge has been and continues to be the marriage of quality with one of the most venerated traditions ever documented in the Mediterranean.

Covenant The word “covenant”, connotes a strong connection between those who share common history, experience and values. It is an age-old concept that serves as a foundation for all civilization, and its significance is evident in the Old Testament stories of Abraham and Moses. Since those early days, the Jews have accorded wine an important role inspiritual practice. Indeed, the fruit of the vine connects us to our land, shared cultural heritage and a love of fine wine led to the partnership that gave birth to Covenant Cabernet Sauvignon and RED C. Our wines come from grapes grown in two single Napa Valley vineyards, from which we strive to harness quality commensurate with the rich and profound story of the Jewish people.
Hagafen Cellars Hagafen Cellars is located in the Napa Valley, in the heart of California’s premier wine grape region.

They trace their winemaking origins back to Philip Herzog, who made wine in Slovakia for the Austro-Hungarian court more than a century ago. Eugene brought the family to America in 1948 after the Holocaust. He arrived in New York City with his winemaking skills, Eugene found a job at a small kosher winery tucked away into a storefront on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. For a paltry salary, he made sweet, Concordgrape wines in the cellar. He also drove the wine delivery truck. But because the company was so poor, he was paid for his driving acumen in company shares, not cash. By 1958, all the other shareholders had given up their shares. They assumed the business was doomed to failure. Eugene and his sons, who all went to work at the winery, proved them wrong. They called their new product Kedem.
Rashi This Italian winery takes its name from one of the most celebrated Jewish winemakers. The Rashi winery is very proud of the method in which the grapes are selected by the master Italian vintners, who then take extreme care in the fermentation of the wine in huge oak casks. The wine room today is as it was generations ago, with the old oak casks lined up imperiously along faintly lit corridors. Rashi winery, adjusted to the needs of an ever more demanding and selective market, in which quality is an essential constant, a pre-requisite for a flawless, stable, homogeneous product. This means state-of-the-art equipment, and access to the most appropriate technologies. The new look, which stands alongside the old, rather than in its place, is one of shiny steel, and electronically-controlled, automatic processes, for past and future living together in a dynamic, efficient present capable of taking on the toughest competition in the acquisition of new markets. Rashi also produces quality wines from the great new wine regions of New York and California.

Celebrating our maverick national spirit by presenting the best of the craft distilling movement. Craft distilleries are vigilant operations making spirits in small batches, often producing less in a year than multi-national, branded distilleries bottle in an hour. The large, continuous stills used by major producers are eschewed here for hand-operated pot stills. Pot stills are labor-intensive but allow the craft distiller better control over flavors, and leave room for experimentation. This allows craft distillers to focus on local ingredients and envelope-pushing techniques to make small volume batches of unique, high quality spirits. As recently as the late 1990’s,
there were only a handful of craft distillers in the U.S. Now, there are more than 200, igniting fires beneath small copper pot stills located in any type of edifice big enough to house them. Within the span of a single generation, there exists an entire and varied sub-category of idiosyncratic spirits made by creative, entrepreneurial individuals looking to expand the horizons for homegrown spirits. Their collective mission is a new breed of distilled beverages, distinctively American, that stands a philosophy apart from over-hyped, soulless mainstream offerings. We honor these new pioneers and savor their handmade products.

Finest Roots Based in Southern Greece and originating from a 160 year old distillery, we marry the most pure and natural ingredients into a fusion of old and modern tastes. Every last drop of our drinks is made with only 100% natural extracts, without any flavour essences or artificial additives. The Finest Roots philosophy is to offer true, pure and high quality tastes; derived from the past, perfected through the years and advanced for the years to come.
Koval Distillery Established in 2008, Koval is the first craft distillery within Chicago’s city limits since Prohibition. They source all of their grains, fruits, herbs, and flowers from the surrounding Midwest region, and they make all of their spirits in house, entirely from scratch - from mashing to distilling, bottling to boxing. Founders, Robert and Sonat Birnecker, gave up academic careers to bring the distilling traditions of Robert’s Austrian grandfather to America. They vowed to create a sustainable family business with high quality and organic products. Koval features small batch spirits distilled from 100% organic grain, avoiding the common industry practice of purchasing pre-made neutral grain spirit. Everything they make is certified organic and kosher, and they are darn proud of it.
Meletti This distillery goes back 4 generations and is now run by Silvio and his brother Aldo. Their Sambuca and Anisette are made with seed of anice only grown in the region of the hills of Ascoli Piceno. They offer a superior spirit and a great value.
Tattersall Childhood buddies Jon Kreidler and Dan Oskey founded Tattersall Distilling in 2015. They followed different career paths, but it wasn’t long before they decided to build a distillery that embodies their passion for uncompromising commitment to quality. Every batch is conceived and perfected by an awardwinning lineup of bartenders in the North.
Banhez In the tiny village of San Miguel Ejutla in the central valley of Oaxaca, a cooperative comprised of 20 families (Integradora Comercial de Ejutla) is committed to sustainable, fair trade mezcal production the same way it’s been done by their ancestors for nearly two centuries.

Mesh & Bone celebrates with a portfolio of hidden drink treasures that are relatively unknown but widely celebrated in their country of origin.
123 Organic Tequila 123 Organic Tequila begins its journey to your glass as sweet juice pressed from the roasted heart of the Blue Agave. This sweet mosto is fermented and then transformed by the careful art of distillation into the purest 100% Blue Agave tequila. Grown on the same ancient volcanic soils that once sustained the Aztecs, the agave plantations that flourish on our hacienda have been sustainably cultivated for centuries.
1921 Tequila 1921 is formed by a group of fans who seek to preserve the true essence of agave; creating a premium product that retains the benefits of the red earth of Jalisco, the freshness of the agave fields and the essence of white oak in their casks. 1921 is named in honor of the end of the Mexican Revolution, historical event that marked a nation indicating the pattern to redirect the history of our country since its very essence .
The 86 Co. - Tequila Cabeza Tequila Cabeza is made from 100% estate owned agave that is grown in the Los Altos region in Arandas. The agave are grown by the Vivanco family, who have been cultivating agaves on their 800-heactare mountainside land for five generations, and handpicked by the Jimadores at seven to nine years of age when the agave has a sugar content of 23-28%. It is grown without pesticides on land that has been used for the cultivation of agave for over 100 years.
Azunia Azuñia is smooth, clean craft tequila with authentic flavor from the local terroir in every sip. It is a second- generation, family-owned-and-operated Rancho Miravalle estate, which has created exceptional tequila for nearly 20 years. Made with 100% pure Weber Blue Agave grown in the Jalisco lowlands, they harvest by hand and roast the organic agave in traditional clay hornos. They then finish with a natural, open-air fermentation process and bottle on-site in small batches.

Legacy-Spirits Tapatio Tapatio sets the bar for the old authentic flavor that is disappearing in modern Tequilas. The Camarena Family distills 100% estate grown blue agaves. Many know the family distillery through El Tesoro and other custom Tequilas. Charbay’s father and son team distilled their Tequila there. That’s the friendship that brought Tapatio to America.
Bodegas Oliveros The recipe for this lovely, artisanal Vermouth was created by my grandfather, Juan Oliveros, who established the winery in 1940. We produce our essence from a selection of 30 botanicals which are then blended unfiltered with our Crianza sweet wine, and aged a minimum of 2 years in oak casks. The final result shows the pure beauty of fine Vermouth.
Quady Winery The undisputed master of California dessert wines, Andy Quady has been turning out rich, luscious and delicious wines from his winery in Madera. Now branching out to include Vya vermouth, Quady has been one of California’s most innovative wineries since the first Quady port in 1975.
The 86 Co. - Aylesbury Duck The 86 Co are proud of this vodka because it’s clean, has that grainy and spicy character that we like in a vodka and it plays well in mixed drinks. We tested this vodka in Bloody Mary’s, Moscow Mules and various other mixed drinks and the result was always rather pleasant. Aylesbury Duck is made in the Western Rockies of Canada, 4000 miles from the woodland birds natural habitat.

Koval Distillery Established in 2008, Koval is the first craft distillery within Chicago’s city limits since Prohibition. They source all of their grains, fruits, herbs, and flowers from the surrounding Midwest region, and they make all of their spirits in house, entirely from scratch - from mashing to distilling, bottling to boxing.
Ballotin Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey represents a contemporary, premium choice - at home or on the town. Enjoy Ballotin anytime and anywhere you might choose a bourbon cocktail or a martini, a glass of red wine, or a flute of champagne. Great straight, on the rocks, or mixable in classic cocktails - Ballotin tastes like a “bourbon expression” of your favorite chocolate indulgences.
Blaum Bros. Distilling The Blaum Bros. Distilling Co. was founded by two brothers looking to create a truly unique product and experience in historic Galena, Illinois. By sourcing grains from local farmers and controlling the entire process in our purpose-built facility, we’re able to meticulously produce the highest quality spirits from our custom, hand made copper still.
Breckenridge Distillery THE WORLD’S HIGHEST DISTILLERY Somethin’ good. Real good. We are talkin’ purity. This hooch is made at 9600 feet with snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains, tapped for mineral infused perfection.
Copper Fox The spirits at Copper Fox Distillery focus on the flavoring of the malt using the smoke of selected, smoldering fruitwoods, and hand-cut, toasted fruitwood that add a range of natural flavors in the maturation process.

Splinter Group We taste dozens of bourbons and American whiskies from small-batch distillers in Tennessee, Kentucky and elsewhere. We leave no stone unturned to find the “juice” that is going to to love our wine barrels. We blend, evaluate, debate (at length), blend again and continuously monitor the aromatics, the entry, the finish, etc. We then select those bourbons and American whiskies that we know will be greater than the sum of their parts. Renowned winemakers and whiskey aficionados Steve Matthiasson (Matthiasson Wines) and Bob Cabral (formerly William Selyem) are part of the team, continuing the legacy of winemakercrafted spirits.

Smeraldina Water
Smeraldina and Emerald Natural Artesian water come from Sardinia, Italy, a pristine island located at the center of the Mediterranean Sea, from almost 1,000 feet under the Mountain of God (“Monti di Deu�), after being filtered for hundreds of years by granite rocks. This natural filtration process allows a balance of dissolved minerals, making Emerald Artesian Water extremely pure, balanced and smooth.
