Wine Regions of Napa Valley

California, Napa Valley
Napa Valley The Southern Napa Valley region is a tidal basin of 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 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. 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 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. 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, which result in a cooler climate than on the valley floor. Northern 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.
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.

California, Napa Valley
Napa Valley Avalon
Avalon - www.avalonwinery.com
Flint & Steel
Flint & Steel - www.flintandsteelwines.com
Avalon wines are named after the legendary Isle of Avalon. As we craft Avalon, we meld ancient winemaking techniques with modern technology. We combine thoughtful vineyard selection and intuitive winemaking methods to create this selection of wines.
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. Hudson Wines’ winemaking team is a longstanding collaboration between Lee and Cristina Hudson, Consulting Winemaker John Kongsgaard, and Production Winemaker Christopher Vandendriessche.
Shibumi Knoll
Many years ago we read the book Shibumi, 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.
Kongsgaard Winery
Napa natives, they began their endeavor in the 1970s planting The Judge vineyard on the Kongsgaard family land near Napa. 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, he has enjoyed continued success with Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignon. (Napa)

Napa Valley (continued) 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.
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.

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.

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.

Kenefick Ranch Vineyards - www.kenefickranch.com
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. (Calistoga)
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.

Others have tried to produce Cabernets out of the Diamond Mountain area, but no other winery has been able to do what Diamond Creek has: consistantly produce world class wines year in and year out. Diamond Creek is fortunate to have three world class vineyards, Volcanic Hill, Gravelly Meadow and Red Rock Terrace, as well as access to the renown Lake Vineyard, and each has unique soil structures that in turn provide unique flavor profiles.
Viader Vineyards
Overlooking St. Helena, on the foothills of Howell Mountain is the 23 acre vineyard of Delia Viader dedicated to the production of a proprietary red wine. The objective at Viader is to produce the Cheval Blanc of Napa Valley and the results to date have been spectacular. (Calistoga)

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 its 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.

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.

California, Northern Sonoma County
Southern Sonoma County to dominate the landscape. The area is known for its unique terroir 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
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.

In 1982, after receiving a small inheritance from his maternal grandfather, Valeriano Jacuzzi, one of the seven Jacuzzi brothers credited for inventing the Jacuzzi whirlpool bath, Fred Cline opened Cline Cellars winery in Contra Costa County in the town of Oakley, California. Fred Cline was one of the first vintners to plant French RhĂ´ne varietals in California, and is one of the original Rhone Rangers. The winery has claimed dedication to sustainability and their farming processes reflect this dedication. It became the second largest winery in California that is completely solar powered when it installed 34,625 square feet of solar panels. Cline calls his farming practices Green String certified[5] for his use of natural cover crops to nourish soils, practice of using sheep to eliminate weeds in the vineyards, and use of compost teas for fertilizer instead of petroleum based equivalents.

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.

The Meritage Association created the Meritage concept as a means of identifying blends produced in the Bordeaux style.
Raeburn
RAEBURN IS WHERE YOU GO FOR ELEGANCE Raeburn is an Olde English term which means the river where one goes to drink. So it’s fitting that Raeburn’s expressive, beautifully balanced wines begin in the heart of the Russian River Valley where some of the world’s finest Burgundy grapes are grown. Ripe, luscious and downright delicious, let Raeburn take you to the river to share a laugh with friends, enhance your favorite meal or just let the day fall away.
Kistler
Family owned and operated, Kistler produces limited quantities of Burgundian styled Chardonnay and Pinto Noir. Kistler Chardonnays have become legendary for their unique expressions of the varietal and the terroir of the particular vineyard.

California, Southern Sonoma County
North Coast acres (12,000 km2) and includes a number of smaller sub-appellations that all share the common ecology trait of weather affected by the cool fog and breezes of the Pacific Ocean.
The North Coast AVA is an American Viticultural Area in the state of California that encompasses grape-growing regions in six counties located north of San Francisco: Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma, and Solano. This large appellation covers over 3,000,000
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 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.
North Coast
Matthew Fritz
Founded by winemaker and entrepreneur Matthew Bonnano, Matthew Fritz wines are companion wines to his Napa Valley flagship Cabernet Sauvignon BonAnno. Matthew Fritz was founded on a few simple principles. Seek out and source only from top North Coast vineyards. Let the fruit stand on its own through a pure, clean winemaking process. And ultimately, ensure every bottle of Matthew Fritz is a true representation of both the variety and appellation.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”
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) Milbrandt 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 Milbrandt Winery, launched in 2005, produces highly-individualistic wines from the Milbrandt 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.
Quilceda Creek
Founded in 1978 by Alex and Jeanette Galitzin, they first made wine with the help of famed uncle Andre Tchelistcheft. The most lauded winery in Washington, and because of limited production, not many get to enjoy their wine yearly.
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, 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.

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.

Washington winemaker, Brennon Leighton, created B. Leighton Wines to showcase fruit from the crest of Olsen Hills in the Yakima Valley. The first vintage, 2012, is a collection of a Petit Verdot, Grenache and Syrah - all wines that Brennon has always wanted to work with in Washington State. Along with vineyard owner Leif Olsen, Brennon planted the vineyard that is proportionate to the future field blends that will be created in 2015. This is a continuation of what Brennon was doing before and what he does best: feral fermentations with longer maceration and reductive winemaking that captures the varietal and the place it is from.

Michigan & New Mexico Lake Michigan Shore AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in southwest Michigan. Located in the state’s traditional “fruit belt”, Lake Michigan Shore AVA is the oldest modern commercial grape region of the state and home to a majority of Michigan vineyards and half of the state wine grape production. Vineyards in the region date back to 1867. The AVA boundaries include the smaller Fennville AVA and extend as far as 45 miles (72 km) inland from the lakeshore; however, the climate and glacial moraine soils are relatively similar throughout. The “lake effect” off of Lake Michigan tempers the northern climate. Lake Michigan Shore AVA has a warmer growing season, as much as two weeks longer than the only other Michigan AVAs.

Australia 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.
Mitolo
Mitolo has become recognized as one of the finest producers in McLaren Vale. Frank and Simone Mitolo founded the company, drawing inspiration from Frank’s Italian heritage and horticultural background and, especially, their children Gemma, Alexander and Marco (hence their G.A.M. wine). In 2001 wine maker Ben Glaetzer became a partner in the business, and since then Mitolo has been receiving stunning accolades that have confirmed the partnership and its vision.
Hope Estate
Michael Hope, purchased 34 acres of vineyards in 1994. He aggressively has built this into a 200 acre estate in the cooler, lower elevations of the Wollemi mountain range. Peter Howland, was hired as wine maker. The wines receive good press and grow in recognition each year.

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.
Bulletin Place
The international success of Australia’s “icon” wineries pleases none more than Leonard Paul Evans, Order of the British Empire and Order of Australia. Len to his many friends and admirers has been at the forefront of the drive to quality and international recognition. A former Chairman of the National, Sydney and Adelaide Wine Shows, Len takes life a little easier these days but still finds time to act as blender extraordinaire for The Evans Wine Company, which was established to export wine to the world. The principal export label is Bulletin Place, now presented in smart new black and white livery. Bulletin Place Wines was established by Len in 1970 as a private dining club for wine lovers. It was here that blind tasting was raised to an art form, with the invention of the now world-known Options Game. Bulletin Place, numbers 16-18, which housed the club and wine shop, was built in 1832 and is said to be the oldest commercial building still operating in Australia.

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
Marlborough
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.
Chasing Venus
We partner with Kim Crawford to make our wines in NZ. Kim takes care of the growing/winemaking in NZ, then Dan and Hayden work with Kim and his team to craft the final blend. The wine arrives in the US and is finished and bottled at Matchbook.
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.
Peregrine
The Peregrine Winery and its vineyards are located in the southernmost grape growing region in the world at latitude 45 South, in Central Otago, the heart of New Zealand’s South Island. The Peregrine wines are named in honor of New Zealand’s endemic falcon, a bird without rival or fear. A bird that combines both power and finesse, the essence of Peregrine’s range of wines.

Hot summer temperatures delivered ripe wines and an early harvest, with low yields. Over all, reds offer silky tannins and full flavors; whites are fruit-forward Untimely rains in key regions such as Colchagua, Maipo and Casablanca cut yields and led to less concentrated flavors, particularly for reds A warm growing season and good harvest weather delivered powerful Cabernet Sauvignons and crisp, fruity Pinot Noirs; average quality for whites Spring frost cut crop; good quality fruit harvested; crisp reds, savory whites

Methode Contemporaine A patented, revolutionary process producing sparkling wines utilizing the co2 created during the fermetation process. The new method captures the co2 and reintroudces it to specially selected still liens just prior to bottling. The result is a very fine “mousse” with bubbles that do not “explode” in the mouth.

Wine Spectator Rating Bordeaux/Left Bank Reds 2011–2016
A year of extremes, with a very rainy spring backed by a very dry summer. Reds are ripe and tannic, but racy, fresh and full of aromas; yields normal to above normal. Upper Médoc superb; Margaux and Pessac excellent as well, though not quite as strong as 2015 Extremely dry season saved by rain at veraison led to an even crop of ripe and lush reds. Later rains hampered some parts of the upper Médoc, but Margaux and Pessac superb 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
Wine Spectator Rating Bordeaux/Right Bank Reds 2011–2016
Same pattern as Left Bank, with rainy start, dry finish. Clay-based soils weathered the dry period best, limestone also strong; young vines and Pomerol’s sandy soils the only weak spot, but otherwise a very homogenous vintage Extremely warm and dry growing season favored the Right Bank’s clay and limestone soils. St.-Emilion the sweet spot; Pomerols are rich and layered. Values abound in Castillon and Fronsac 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

France, Bordeaux
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.

• Saint Emilion • Saint 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.
• Exceptional Growths • Bourgeois Great Growths • Bourgeois 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.

Bordeaux Chateau L’Ecuyer
Château L’Ecuyer [lay kwē yā] is a tiny estate of only 3 hectares located in the prestigious Pomerol appellation. It was originally known as Château de Bourgueneuf, but was re-baptized L’Ecuyer (squire) when the Petit and Cambier family took over the estate in 2004. 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”.
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. The twelve hectares of chateau Coutet are an admirable exception in that they form a vineyard facing west/south in one piece, established in very different soils. This property is owned by the David family since 1806, today the 8th generation is in charge.
Chateau St. Andre Corbin
Château Saint Andre Corbin is located in Bordeaux’s smallest appellation just north of the village of Saint Emilion. Both the estate and vineyards date to the Gallo-Roman epoch. Letters from the Roman Consul and poet Ausonius to Rome indicate that wine from this estate was served at Julius Cesar’s table in the 4th century.

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

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
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.

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.

Les Vins du Rhone 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
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.

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.

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.
Chateau Miraval
Tucked away in its own private valley in the ancient village of Correns, Château Miraval covers 500 hectares of land in the heart of Provence. Miraval’s exclusive valley location embodies an exceptional terroir. At an altitude of 350 meters the vines are privileged to enjoy warm, sunny days and cool nights, bringing freshness and balance to the wines. Today, Château Miraval is a summer residence of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who have have partnered with Famille Perrin to help with the viticulture, winemaking and wine distribution.

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.
Ottosoldi
Dedicated to our grandfather who, with the purchase of a piece of land for a mere eight pennies, gave way to a new wine-making tradition. 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.

Established by Pietro Lanzavecchia in 1959, Villadoria is a family- run winery. Pietro began purchasing vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba and built the winery with his son Daniele. Today, Daniele runs the company with his daughter Paola.
Massolino
The history of the Massolinos and their wine became entwined with the history of Serralunga d’Alba in 1896, when Giovanni founded the estate.The first wine cellar was built by Giuseppe, son of the founder Giovanni, who, together with his sister Angela, extended his estate into the best soils and, in 1934, was one of the founders of the Consortium for the Defence of Barolo and Barbaresco. Three of Giuseppe’s children, Giovanni, Camilla and Renato, followed in their father’s footsteps, expanding the estate with the purchase of cru vineyards which are authentic jewels: Margheria, Parafada and Vigna Rionda. In the 1990’s Franco and Roberto, both oenologists, joined the family estate. Their work condenses the experience of an entire family and the ambition of a new generation, determined to make an important contribution to the innovation of oenological and agronomical techniques and to the image of the estate in Italy and abroad.

Valle D’Aosta 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.
Movia
MOVIA is a family-owned winery with a long history dating back to 1820, when the Kristančič family joined the Movia Estate through a marriage. The winery is located in the heart of the Collio, the «Brda» (engl. hill) on the border between Slovenia and Italy
Centorri
Centorri Moscato is produced by Eleanor Estate which was founded in the 1960’s. Located in Castiglione Tinella (Asti) in Piedmont, the estate was originally just vineyards and the grapes were sold to a local Asti Spumante producer. In 2003 the estate started producing Moscato from vineyards in the province of Pavia. The estate now focuses their production on Moscato di Pavia, but the actual winery is still located in Castiglione Tinella.

Tenuta Scersce
Valtellina is Italy’s only valley to run east to west and was carved by the glaciers that moved down the granite mountain slopes during the last ice age to the valley floor where the Adda river now runs east into Lago di Como and eventually into the Po river. It is unarguably one of the most dramatic landscapes in Italy and home to some of the most extreme vineyards in the world. In 2018 UNESCO declared this region of tiny vineyards perched upon impossibly steep slopes and built into ancient terraces called muretti a World Heritage Site. Some of the terraces date back to the middle ages and, if placed end to end, would stretch a distance of 1,500 miles long.
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.

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.
Inama
Today Inama comprises more than 25 hectares of vineyards in the very heart of the Soave Classico. 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.

Dr. Cesari is the proprietor of the Mara site in Valpolicella and leases the Nibai and Campolongo vineyards in Soave. Wine made from these single vineyards, as well as the famous Il Bosco Amarone located in the heart of the Prima Negrar region, reflect the height of his skill and artistry.
Adami
Solid roots of effort and tradition have given the life blood to a plant exuberant and full of fruit. Following family tradition, the youngest generation, Armando and Franco, both of whom graduated in Oenology, have brought to the house of Adami refined technological specialization in the art of producing the fine spumante wines typical of Valdobbiadene. This is how our family expresses the values of our land: sond work, harmony and respect for human relationships, a sense of hospitality, and a continuity between past and present. We are an estate, and above all, a family.

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.
Carpineto
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.

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.
Fattoria Petrolo
Petrolo is located in Mercatale Valdarno, in the center of the triangle made by Florence, Siena and Arezzo. 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
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.
Umani Ronchi
Umani Ronchi is owned by the BianchiBernetti family, who since 1959 have been making superb quality craft wines, coaxing the best out of the Verdicchio and Montepulciano that find their finest expression in Marche and Abruzzo.
Alverdi
Alverdi is a tribute to Italy’s diverse winegrowing regions that offer unique expressions of well-known grape varietals. These approachable styles were designed to suit any and all occasions. The wines embody the esteemed traditions of Italian winemaking and those of Opici Wines’ standards of producing high quality wines at an excellent value.

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
Cantina Zaccagnini
Established in 1978, the ‘Azienda Agricol Ciccio Zaccagnini’ estate began as a small family vineyard producing a mere 1,000 bottles a year.Today, the estate stretches 500 acres alongside the Rome-Pescara highway, located in Bolognano in the providence of Pescara. A little more than 30 years later, Zaccagnini’s production capability has grown to 500,000 cases of premium wine a year.
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.
Masciarelli
After working a harvest in Champagne at the age of 22, Gianni Masciarelli was convinced he could make world-class wine in his home of Abruzzo. He knew to do this, he was going to have to work differently than the others in the region and think differently about the land. His first revolutionary step was an extreme focus on the vineyard and the land. While others were squeezing as much yield per hectare as possible, Gianni dropped vine production so all of the plant’s energy could be concentrated on less fruit, thereby producing higher quality grapes.
Paternoster
Based in Barile, in the heart of Basilicata, Paternoster has long been considered one of the region’s most important wineries. The winery’s founder, Don Anselmo, learned winemaking from his father and started his own winery in 1925, producing the first bottles of Aglianico del Vulture. The historic winery now has more than 90 harvests under their belt, and has developed a reputation for producing elegant wines with a strong and authentic soul.

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.
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.

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.
Prodigo
In Italy, making food and wine is so entirely natural it almost appears instinctive.As we undoubtedly agree, they belong together, which is why we’ve created PRODIGO; meaning lavish, sumptuous, luxurious or grand. Our wines celebrate the marriage ofItalian food and wine allowing every night to be a PRODIGO night.
Tenuta Fessina
In 2007, Silvia Maestrelli founded Tenuta di Fessina in the village of Rovittello on the northeastern side of Mt. Etna. They have 17 acres of vineyards in Rovittello (2,200 feet) and 6 acres between Milo and Santa Maria di Licodìa (3,280 feet). These vineyards are located on different sides of the mountain in order to produce the best expressions of the indigenous varietals. There has also been a strong focus on hospitality: Seven rooms for guests were built inside a 17th century structure on the property. In collaboration with winemaker Federico Curtaz, Maestrelli has created in just 10 years one of the most successful and recognizable cellars in the Etna area and has become a perfect ambassador of new Sicilian viticulture.

Mostly cool and wet growing conditions led to a warm September and a short harvest, producing an average-size crop of racy and herbal-inflected whites Erratic weather, including some rain at harvest, resulted in a small crop; top producers relied on careful selection in the vineyard to make rich and minerally wines 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. Look to top producers Warm, dry weather at harvest; exceptionally balanced wines, with plenty of pure fruit, minerality and creaminess

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.

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

Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler estate is the result of a match between two rival families, the Bergweiler-Prum family from Wehlen and the Berres-Nicolay family from Urzig, combining famous vineyards and the most modern wine making methods.
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.

Germany, Hungary, Austria (continued) 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..

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.

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 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.

(continued)
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.
THE FACTS
THE ZONE: Mainly in the La Rioja region, northeast Spain, but also extends into Alava and Navarra along the Ebro river, and around regional capital Logrono. There are three zones - Rioja alta (west of Logrono), Rioja Alavesa (north of Ebro) and Rioja Baja (south and east Logrrono) AREA UNDER VINE: 57,447ha NUMBER OF BEDEGAS: 2,561 of which 2,228 are coescheros (grape growers who may make wine), 209 are criadores (make and age wine), 96 are almacenistas (buy and age wine), 34 are cooperatives and 110 are exporters. GRAPES: Tempranillo (60-100% of blend) for fruit and freshness; Garnacha (10-15%) for strength, body and tannin; Mazuelo (5-10%) tannin, strength and longevity; Graciano (5%) for aroma and tannin.

Spain Gomez Cruzado
The origins of Bodegas y Viñedos GÓMEZ CRUZADO date back to 1886, when Ángel Gómez de Arteche, a nobleman related to the Duke of Moctezuma de Tultengo, decided to start making and bottling his own wine in Haro, in the heart of Rioja Alta. Thus, a centuryold cellar was born which would go on to make history in Haro and Rioja during the late 19th century. After its founding, GÓMEZ CRUZADO was bought in 1916 by Ángel and Jesús Gómez Cruzado, both natives of Rioja, for whom today´s winery is named. There have been many investors over the years. At the beginning of the new millenium, the winery changed hands to the Baños family: the current owners, who hail from Badarán and also have ties to Mexico, where they currently reside. Thus, the winery maintains its family-business style.

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 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.

Madeira, Marsala, Portugal, Canada & England Adega Regional de Colares
Colares is one of the most fascinating wine regions in the world. Located just west of Lisbon, the vines are planted on their own rootstock in sand dunes, located on cliffs above the Atlantic Ocean. The wines are super Atlantic, “old school”, and built for to age for many years.
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.
Bride Valley
After 50 years in the wine trade, Steven Spurrier, inspired by the unique chalky soils on his wife Bella’s Dorset sheep farm, decided to join the English sparkling wine revolution. He enlisted the help of Jean-Charles Boisset and the expertise of Boisset’s sparkling production team in France to establish his new endeavor. In 2008, they selected 13 of the finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier clones from Burgundy’s famous Pepinieres Guillaume vine nursery to match each individual plot. Now the farm has more than 24 acres under cultivation and produces three delicious wines from the limestonerich, chalky Kimmeridgian soils above the beautiful Dorset village of Litton Cheney. Some 42,000 vines are closely planted on mostly south-facing slopes on their 200-acre farm on South Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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 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.

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.

On the heels of five successful years in New Zealand and high ratings by Wine Spectator, The Wall Street Journal and many Jewish and non-Jewish wine critics, Philip Jones sought to fill yet another void in the kosher wine marketplace. The Jones’ established Evan’s Vineyard and winery, located on Underwood Mountain, in the Columbia Gorge in Washington State. Unlike the New Zealand, facility the Washington winery will be a dedicated kosher winery. It has a capacity of about 7,000 cases. In 2010, about the time they decided to make their first wines, economic conditions were warning them to be prudent. Evan’s Vineyard would produce the wines and Royal would assist with bottling and marketing the wines. They would become the Northwest’s first kosher winery and dedicate the entire production to kosher wines.

Kedem
Founded in 1848, the Herzog family winery was renowned as the exclusive wine supplier to the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Josef, earning one of the early Herzogs the royal title of Baron. Besides attaining royal status, Baron Herzog’s wines had also become sought after by a wave of European wine lovers. The wines became well known for their quality and high standards of production. Smooth textured, full flavored and simply delicious, these wines built a reputation that would prove valuable in later years. The winemaking family left Europe in 1948 and continued their tradition of winemaking excellence in the United States. The Herzog family opened Kedem Winery in the scenic Hudson Valley and worked very hard to develop a full line of opulent wines bearing the Kedem label. In later years, Kedem expanded the selection with premium label Kedem Estates wines including a Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted from rich New York State grapes, Kedem Estates wines are truly enchanting.

HWC Spirits Celebrating our 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 multinational, 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.

Tullibardine
The history of Tullibardine as a location for brewing and distilling is one of the oldest in Scotland, dating back to the 15th century. Our story begins in 1488, when a young King James, IV of Scotland, stopped by before his coronation to purchase beer from the local brewery. This brewery was known for producing fine beer as a result of the local water source. By 1503, the King had granted them a royal charter. It was in 1947 that William DelméEvans began converting this original brewery into the Tullibardine Distillery. Upon testing the water from the nearby springs, Delmé-Evans knew he had found the perfect location for distilling Whisky.

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.
Frida Kahlo
The production of Frida Kahlo Tequila is all-natural and made from handselected blue agave at the peak of its maturity. The heart of the agave is slowcooked inside antique adobe brick ovens for no less than twenty-eight hours, and then it is steamed and cooled to remove any bitterness from the agave. The agave is then finally pressed to extract only the best juices that are going to be distilled in antique copper stills. The result is a smooth, superb tasting, superpremium Tequila.
Lapis
This hallmark brand from the Tequileña Distillery is the pride and joy of master distiller Enrique Fonseca, Mexico’s largest highland agave cultivator.
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.
Tres, Cuatro Y Cinco
Selected for optimum flavor and aromatics, this is the pinnacle of highland super premium tequila. The spectacular mark is presented in limited edition crystal decanters designed, signed and numbered by the iconic Mexico City artist, Alonso Gonzalez Jr.

Smeraldina Water
Smeraldina Natural Artesian Water comes 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 Smeraldina Artesian Water extremely pure, balanced and smooth.
