3 Bressia, Lagrima Canela 6/750ml Source: Argentina-Mendoza 70% Chardonnay, 30% Semillon Aged 14 months in new French and American oak. "The white 2015 Lágrima Canela felt better balanced than the 2013 I tasted last time. It's a blend of Chardonnay from Gualtallary with 30% Semillon from Tunuyán in the Uco Valley. It's a barrel-fermented blend that matured for eight months in new 300-liter French oak barrels, but somehow the fruit is in the forefront, and the oak feels better integrated than in the past. The palate also has very good freshness and is nicely textured, with an impressive, long and persistent finish. It's very tasty and faintly balsamic. It's very drinkable now, but time in bottle should only do it good. 5,000 bottles were filled in November Luis Gutiérrez" - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 pts "Waxy, dusty apple and oak aromas reflect the 30% Sémillon, but this is mostly Chardonnay in quantity, style, feel and flavors. Salty melon, tropical notes and nicely laid-out oak flavors turn a touch bitter on a weighty but healthy finish. Drink this classy white blend through 2018." - Wine Enthusiast, 90 pts Suggested Retail Price: $49.95 / bottle Bressia, Monteagrelo, Cabernet Franc 6/750ml Source: Argentina-Mendoza 100% Cabernet Franc (Gaultallary) Aged in French and American oak barrels for 10 months.

Suggested Retail Price: $22.95 / bottle Thorn-Clarke AUSTRALIA The name Thorn-Clarke represents the union between two families with deep roots in the Barossa Valley and six generations of grape growing. Cheryl Clarke s (nee Thorn) family were some of the earliest settlers in the region and have been growing grapes since the 1870s. The Thorn family property Clifton is home to one of the oldest Shiraz vineyards in Australia, and perhaps the world, with earliest records for plantings dating back to It is still owned and operated by Cheryl s brother. David Clarke s family was also a pioneer in the Barossa Valley but more famously for mining gold. An ancestor, James Goddard, was responsible for opening the Lady Alice gold mine in the Barossa goldfields, the largest gold mine in South Australia at the time. A geologist by training and wine lover at heart, David set about testing soils to identify prime plots of land to acquire and plant vines. David and Cheryl s first vineyard in 1987 was Kabininge, outside Tanunda (the name means watering hole in aborigine). They later acquired more land in Barossa and in The Eden Valley. This took a lot of Australian pluck at that time. During the late 1980s the South Australian government was sponsoring growers to remove vines, not plant them, to manage oversupply. Following success as grape growers supplying other Barossa wineries with fruit, David and Cheryl founded the Thorn-Clarke winery in 2001 with daughter, Nicole, and son, Sam. Thorn-Clarke has a total of 675 acres of grapes. In Barossa Valley, there are 3 vineyards Kabininge, St. Kitts and Truro. In the Eden Valley, there are 2 vineyards Mount Crawford and Milton Park. The Thorn-Clarke family has a strong belief in the age-old saying "you can't make good wine from bad grapes." Winemaker, Peter Kelly, strongly believes that to make wines with complexity and elegance, the first step

14 14 is getting the vineyards right. Theirs is a long-term approach to serve as a custodian for the Barossa s reputation and their families commitment to making great wines. The vineyard team focuses first on nurturing quality grapes from prime land without cutting corners. Once grapes are harvested and into the winery it s about balance. The approach has worked, and the family has struck gold with its wines, collecting a succession of trophies and medals at international wine shows. The Eden Valley vineyard has become synonymous with high quality white wines and the Barossa with high quality reds Thorn-Clarke, Eden Trail, Riesling Eden Valley 6/750ml Source: Australia-South Australia-Eden Valley 100% Riesling "Green-hued straw.

19 19 Morambro Creek Since 1851, five generations of the Bryson family have been involved in agriculture and the unique and fertile land of South Australia. The family business was built over the past half century by Clive and Elizabeth Bryson, who have now handed the day-to-day operations over to the next generation - sons Andrew, David and Paul. In the early 1990's, the Brysons decided to take the plunge and plant vines on their property. Initially, their plan was to sell these grapes to the big wine producers. However, after a few vintages, the desire to see the fruits of their labor was too great to resist. In 1998 they held onto a small selection of their fruits and sent it to the Cape Jaffa Winery. Their own wine - named for the Morambo creek that meanders through the property - was born. The vineyards are located in the historic Padthaway valley, 300 km south of Adelaide. Th farm consists of 420 acres, separated into two plots each of 210 acres, about 7-8 kilometers apart. The vines enjoy a cool climate with plentiful winter/spring rainfall; limestone subsoil provides excellent drainage. The grapes cultivated here are Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz Mt.

23 23 Weingut Leindl Georg Leindl has been in the wine industry for nearly 30 years. After studying food and biotechnology, he went on to be a researcher at the Federal College for Oenology and Pomology at Klosterneuburg. He has also been a oenology consultant, and has worked with and rented space from Austria s Martin Nigl. In 2013, he decided to create his own estate in Kamptal. He is currently working from 5 hectares of vineyards, with plans to move to 12 hectares. His Grüner Veltliner comes from the Seeberg vineyard (2 hectares), and Riesling from the famed Heiligenstein vineyard (3 hectares). Located about an hour west of Vienna in Kamptal, this hillside vineyard was first mentioned in the Zwettl abbey register of 1280 as Hellenstein, or hell stone, because it was a mountain on which the sun burns like hell. It was later renamed Heiligenstein, or holy rock. The Heiligenstein is a unique geological formation a geological island within Europe, dating to the Permian period some 250 to 270 million years ago, comprising an extrusion of desert sandstone with volcanic and carboniferous conglomerates.

His grandfather was an Austrian architect that built some very important and traditional buildings in downtown Santiago, at the beginning of the 20th century, including the Chilean Federal Reserve. His father, Don Germán, was a viticulturist that spent most of his career in charge of Viña San Pedro's vineyards near the town of Molina, 140 miles south of Santiago. There Alberto grew up, literally in the middle of the

25 25 vines. It was not a surprise when he decided to study Agronomy and specialize in winemaking at the Universidad Católica in Santiago. Together with his father, Alberto founded Viña Siegel (now Siegel Family Wines) in They started planting vineyards in Colchagua and building the Winery in Santa Cruz. When Don Germán died in 1998, Alberto became the owner, together with his family. In the beginning, Viña Siegel only sold bulk wines to the biggest Chilean wineries, like Concha y Toro, San Pedro and Santa Rita. In 1997, Alberto decided to enter the bottled wines business and made the necessary investments to go ahead with this project. The Colchagua valley is located in the Central Zone of Chile. It is a 'Transverse Valley", which means that it is a valley formed by a river, the Tinguiririca, running east-to-west towards the ocean. The Colchagua valley is the leading fine-wine producing region in Chile. It is in this valley where, more than 30 years ago, Alberto Siegel grew his first vines which would later become Siegel Wines. Now they have more than 700 hectares (1,729 acres) planted, which are located in the Andean foothills and the coastal zone of the valley. Los Lingues is one of Siegel's principal vineyards, and it consists of 170 hectares (420 acres). It is located in Los Lingues, Alto Colchagua, which is in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It has a Mediterranean microclimate typical of the Andean foothills, influenced by constant fresh winds that descend from the mountains. The breeze is present in Los Lingues throughout the day and it allows the vines to be well-ventilated, and a constant temperature maintained, leading to a perfect ripening of the grapes which makes this valley unique. The soils in Los Lingues are characterized by having excellent drainage, and are of Alluvial (deposited by water) and Colluvial (deposited by gravitational forces) in origin. There is little organic and fertile material. Viña Siegel has found more than 60 different types of soil here. With an exceptional combination of rocky soils, it is perfect for varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Petit Verdot and Grenache. Also, there are moderately deep clay soils, which are ideal for Carménère, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Malbec. The climate and soils of Los Lingues give rise to more structured wines, with great body and color, smooth tannins of dry fruit and an exceptional balance. El Crucero - This vineyard is located in Palmilla. It has 60 hectares (148 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines they produce from this vineyard are characterized by being more concentrated, with mature fruits and very sweet tannins. El Crucero experiences a very diverse climate, warmer during the day and very cold at night. It is grown on alluvial soils, created from the waters of the mountain range. San Alberto de Peralillo - This vineyard is located 6km inland from Peralillo in a sector called Parrones, at the extreme west end of the Colchagua Valley, an ideal place due to its coastal-influenced climate. This coastal influence allows for the production of excellent quality wines, and the cool climate helps to prolong the maturation and delays the ripening of the fruit. Furthermore, it is composed of a magnificent soil for the

26 26 cultivation of vines, originating from the large volcanic eruptions of the 'Ring of Fire' in the high Andes Mountains. Here they have 205 hectares (506 acres) planted with 8 different varieties. The wines produced from this winery are fresh, subtle, elegant with a fast evolution and easy to drink. The slow and late maturation helps to maintain fresh fruity notes and less-structured wines due to the more volcanic soils.

Suggested Retail Price: $34.95 / bottle Domaine de La Begude Domaine de La Bégude was founded in 1996 by Guillaume and Louis Tari, who continue an old family wine tradition (Château Giscours, 3rd Cru, Margaux). They are devoted to elaborating wines that express the characteristics of the Bandol terroir. The aging cellars are the ancient Merovingian chapel of the 7th century from the "Conil" seigneury. This village has since disappeared, but it is mentioned as early as 966 in Saint Victor's maps. The estate produced some wine in the 16th century, and some ancient vinification tanks have been discovered there. Begude s vineyard is situated at the top of the Bandol appellation (400 meters), overlooking the Mediterranean sea. The estate measures 1,240 acres of which 37 acres (15 hectares) are under vine. Olive trees surround most of the vine plots and take part in perfecting a typical landscape of the Bandol area. Begude produces 65% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache and 10% Cinsault, with vines averaging 25 years old. Grapes are hand harvested and totally de-stemmed before 3 4 weeks of fermentation on the skins. Egg white fining finishes the winemaking process before bottling. Production in total is 2,500 3,000 cases annually. Guillaume Tari is the current president of the Bandol AOC. Some history and facts on Bandol: The wines of Bandol - Rose, Rouge and Blanc - owe their name to the small, ancient trading port of Bandol located on the Mediterranean Sea. Vines were first planted by the Greeks and Phoenicians in the 6th century A.D. Historically, the area was a region of large volume wine production (100 hectoliters/hectare, or about 7 tons of grapes to the acre) - impressive, but not quality driven. Today yields are much lower at 40 hectoliters/hectare, due to the work of Lucien Peyraud of Domaine Tempier and others who helped create the AOC of Bandol in 1941.

34 34 Today there are 3,952 acres of grapes planted in eight communes. There are 65 producers and three cooperatives. Mourvedre is the dominant grape in Bandol, with a minimum of 50% required for red & rose wine. The other red grapes grown and permitted are Cinsault and Grenache also grown for red wine, For white wine, Clairette is dominant, with a 50% minimum requirement. Other white grapes are Ugni Blanc, Marsanne, Bourboulenc, Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Bandol is the only AOC that requires very high mandatory age on the vines before they can be used as an AOC Bandol Wine: 8 years minimum for the vines use to make red wine. With a minimum of 18 months of oak aging, this means nearly 10 years before you can release your first wine. 4 years of minimum vine age for the rose and blanc. Rose dominates the production in Bandol at around 440,000 cases (76% of the AOC s wine). Rouge is around 120,000 cases (20% of the AOC s wine), and white is around 23,000 cases (4% of the AOC s wine) Begude, Bandol, Rose 6/750ml Source: France Bandol 80% Mourvèdre and 20% Grenache Aged two months on fine lees in stainless steel.

41 41 Château Brulesecaille Located in the heart of the Côtes de Bourg region, BrûleSécaille is a 28-hectare vineyard classed "Cru Bourgeois" since The name Brulesécaille derives from Gascon; Bruler means to burn and sécaille is from the latin secare meaning to cut. According to tradition, we burn the cut vine branches during pruning. Brulesécaille is situated on a clay limestone outcrop. This particular soil composition dominates the Dordogne valley and allows excellent drainage in winter and spring. The vines enjoy excellent sun exposure, encouraging consistent ripening vintage after vintage. Because the vineyard survived the particularly hard winter frosts of 1945, 1956 and 1991, there are some significant older vines, up to seventy-five years old. Château BruleSécaille: 23 ha; Château La Gravière: 5 ha; Château YON St Christophe: 2 ha BruleSécaille is managed by Jaques & Guillaume Rodet. Jacques is a viticulture engineer (graduated from Bordeaux Science Agro), who takes great care in using natural methods to encourage ripening. Guillaume (graduated from DUAD Bordeaux) oversees vinification operations in the cellar. In September 2016, the estate received High Environmental Value level 3 Certification. This covers mainly four key areas: biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategy, optimized management of fertilization and water management. The grapes are picked by hand. Great care is taken with the manual picking over, destemming and crushing.

The vineyards are planted on the upper part of predominantly south facing slopes, which provide excellent natural drainage and optimum exposure to the sun. The origins of the estate date back to the early 15th century, not long before the famous battle of Castillon took place in 1453, which ended the Hundred-Years war between the English and the French. With the two other major events that occurred the same year (invention of printing by Gutenberg in Germany, fall of Constantinople in Turkey), most historians consider 1453 to mark the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. Highlighting the property s historical significance, each summer, the estate pays host to the re-enactment of this battle, an epic spectacle with 600 actors and cavaliers. Château Castegens and its vineyard have been in the same family for 160 years.

44 44 FRANCE Francois Martenot Burgundy & Rhone Valley Charton et Trebuchet Owners of Premiers and Grands Crus in Puligny-Montrachet since 1859 with the Domaine Jean Chartron, Jean-René Chartron founded the Maison Chartron et Trébuchet in 1984 with Louis Trébuchet, manager of a wine trading company. The property was purchased in Fall 2016 by Francois Martenot, whose objective is to promote the great white wines of Burgundy while respecting and perpetuating the quality work achieved by Jean Chartron and Louis Trébuchet. The Maison Chartron et Trébuchet specializes in producing great white Burgundy wines. It begins with a radical selection of the very best plots: the highest-quality terroirs of the Côte are chosen and the grapes are carefully monitored throughout the ripening period. All harvesting is done by hand. All of the winemaking is done in cask. A proportion of 20% - 40% new barrels is used, depending on the appellations and the vintage. Wines are left to age for months. The racking of the wines is done in the traditional manner, eliminating any unnecessary filtering. The wines are then bottled without being exposed to ambient air to preserve all their flavor and quality.

The south facing

46 46 vineyards of these villages are known for their pebbled limestone soil. Kimmeridgian is a type of limestone normally found in Chablis to the North, not in the south end of Côte Chalonnaise where Montagny sits. The villages that make up the Montagny region share common soil characteristics and because of this, the wines have something in common: an ever so slight flint note. Not as pronounced as most outstanding Chablis, but nonetheless, the mineral and flint notes are still prevalent. The bright acidity found in Chardonnay from this region mixed and the underlying mineral note creates a wine that steps outside the boundary of the classic Burgundy Chardonnay.

Currently, they export 40% of their wine outside of France. "Domaine de la Croix Senaillet" takes its name from a cross that had been given by an ancient mayor of the village called Benoit Senaillet. The records show that the mayor donated the cross to Davayé in 1866 to replace the one that was destroyed in 1793 during the French Revolution. According to the common believes, the cross that was blessed in 1867 would protect the inhabitants of the village and everyone that would pass by. The vineyards are located on the south/southeastern slopes of the Solutre and Vergisson rocks. The estate spreads over 52 parcels in the town of Davayé and measures 22 hectares total (54.3 acres): 17 ha in St Véran, 5 ha in Mâcon, less than 1 hectare in Pouilly-Fuisse. The soil is both chalk and clay. The vines are 40 years old on average. In order to increase the quality of the grapes, Stephane has decided to use "culture raisonnée", which means that they watch carefully and daily the vineplant, checking for the sanitary level in the vineyard and use very small amount of pesticide and chemical products if necessary.

Impressed by the area's exceptional terroir (the soil and its growing conditions), they planted vineyards around the castle on terraces covered with smooth rounded pebbles. Established in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Jaume family has been dedicated to the art of wine growing since Founded by Mathieu Jaume, the Domaine is now run by the 5th and 6th generations of Jaumes: Alain Jaume & his children Christophe, Sébastien, and Hélène. Historically, Grand Veneur was known for its white wines, until 1995 when the winery refocused their efforts on the reds. Since then, they ve added exciting new AOC s, such as: Lirac Clos de Sixte (first vintage 2003) Rasteau Vacqueyras, most recently, Château Mazane (22 acres; 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre) Cairanne Ventoux In addition, a special bottling of Châteauneuf-du-Pape was added in 1997, under the name Les Origines.

This 58 hectare ( acres) estate has been brought back to life and is producing excellent value wines from the Southern Rhône Valley. Count Henri de Regis, former owner of Château de Ségriès, who sold his vineyard to Henri de Lanzac in 1994, was the founder of the Lirac AOC. Lirac wines have been produced in the Southern Rhone Valley since before Roman times, when they were favorites of the kings and popes of Avignon. In the late 1700 s, production was high, but in 1863 phylloxera hit. The area struggled to recover until the early 1900 s. In the 1930 s, Count Henri de Régis began working to improve the quality of wines, vintage after vintage. In 1945, he obtained the highest distinction, a cru, of the Côtes du Rhône. Lirac is the oldest recorded wine of the Côtes du Rhône region, and was the first to be produced in red, white and rosé. It became an AOC in Located between (and shared by) Lirac & Tavel is perhaps the best terroir for red wine, the windy plateau Vallongue.

75 75 Domaine de la Mordorée In 1986, brothers Christophe and Fabrice Delorme, along with their father Francis, decided to dedicate themselves to their passion for wine. They bought an estate in Tavel with the goal of producing the best wines in each appellation while preserving the environment. Within a decade, they had achieved that goal, and continued getting better and better each year. Domaine de la Mordorée produces some of our best wines, and they have selected and maintained some of the finest terroirs. Their Châteauneufdu-Papes, Lirac Reds & Whites, and Tavel Rosés are amongst the most highly rated of the region. Unfortunately, in 2015, the remarkably talented Christophe passed away at the age of 52. Among Christophe's fans was Robert Parker Jr. of The Wine Advocate, who pinned Mordorée as "one of the world s greatest wine estates". In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said: "With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations..." Christophe s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordorée that includes winemaker Remy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe s cellar manager.

The domaine is now run by Jean-Michel and Frédéric VACHE. The Archimbaud and Vache families are among the oldest ones in Vacqueyras. The oldest part of the property dates back to the 12th century and belonged to "Les Chevaliers de 'dre des Templiers" (the Templar Knights). An ancient Moorish Tower sits on the property, the Tower of Sarrasine in ruins. The estate spreads over 40 hectares (98.8 acres) of vineyard land: - 25 ha in Gigondas. The quality of the soil is outstanding and the sun exposure is optimal due to the special location of the vineyard, surrounded by the rocky massif of the "Dentelles de Montmirail", upon which is built the Sarrasine tower ha in Vacqueyras, on sandy-clayey and sunny slopes. The vineyards are planted to 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. The vines are year old. The annual production is 8,800 to 10,000 cases. The average yield is 28 hl/ha. The vines are cultivated with utmost respect to the environment. Only Bordeaux mixture (antifungal agent consisting of a solution of copper sulfate and quicklime) and sulfur is used in the phytosanitary (pertaining to the health of plant) and vineyard treatment. At all times, the vineyards are manually tended, including manual harvest. To ensure optimal quality, only the best grapes are selected during a green harvest in Summer which eliminates at least 20% of the production. Each grape variety is picked at its optimum maturity and vinified separately. Syrah is usually harvested first, followed by Grenache and then Mourvèdre. The whole clusters are placed into specially equipped bins having a screw in the bottom that allow the grapes to fall into the tanks without any crushing. This near carbonic fermentation period depends on the grape varieties and the conditions. When the fermentation is complete, the varietal wines are blended together (typically in November). The maturation takes place first in stainless steel tanks for the juice to settle, then in concrete or enamel tanks. The wines mature in the cellars for at least 2 years before bottling. There is no fining, and only a light filtration to limit the natural deposit on the bottle.

Originally, it was intended for the new variety to be called Rotburger, referring to the place where it was born, Klosterneuburg. This name never took hold, and instead, Zweigelt was named after the man who was key to its development. Today, Zweigelt is the most widely planted red variety in Austria, growing in nearly 9% of this country's vineyards. It is a robust grape, highly resistant to dryness, frost and various diseases.

This wine is quite emblematic of the great sea change that has occurred at Bonny Doon Vineyard since the sell-off/draw-down of the Ginormous Doonamath, whereby we have essayed a most sincere effort to make quieter wines in a more natural, less manipulated fashion. As such, this Vin Gris is made from bespoke grapes and is not a byproduct of red wine production, per se. We harvested at the appropriate ripeness level for its style. The essential principle here is that less is truly more. The wine does not overwhelm one with fruity bombasticity; it s charms are seductively subtle. An extremely elegant and complex Vin Gris de Cigare. "Randall makes a terrific, classically styled rosé and the 2016 Vin Gris de Cigare Rosé is reminiscent of a classy pink from Provence.

In a great show of one-upmanship during the 10th Century, the inhabitants constructed 72 towers, each one more beautiful and higher than the other. Today only 14 of those towers remain and one is on the 350 hectare estate of Enrico Angiolini (42 hectares under vine). Angiolini is a traditionalist and believes that more than just the fame of this city should be tied to the wine. He fought hard to see that the wine bearing the San Gimignano name is from grapes grown and bottled within the confines of the community. He was successful not only from blocking large Chianti houses from bottling Vernaccia outside the zone, but he was also responsible for its receiving a DOCG, Italy s second white wine to be so honored. La Torre is named for its tower, which has been skillfully refurbished and even today is the distinguishing feature of its rural village. Vernaccia di San Gimignano was the first DOC in Italy for white wine and had a much more widespread recognition in the past than it does today. The Vernaccia of the past was a light golden-colored wine, full-bodied, rich and round, with a special freshness and elegance. This description alone gives the impression of a wine that can age and, in fact, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is the only Italian white wine that has the right to be called Riserva if aged for 1 year. This wine is aged on the fine lees for 6 months in stainless steel tanks. Color: Clear pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. Bouquet: Intense floral bouquet with hints of almonds Taste: The flavor is delicate, flinty and fresh with a long, slightly bitter finish. Suggested Retail Price: $13.99 / bottle

The castle is surrounded by 32 hectares of vineyards, 7 of which are in Chianti Classico. The vineyards are protected by thick woods of live oaks, and the high altitude provides an enviable and wellventilated exposition. The stony-calcareous soil is rich in fossils and minerals, which give the wines an admirable structure. The warm days and cools nights enhance an already seductive bouquet. The vineyards were nearly abandoned and the grapes sold in bulk to the local cantina who greedily bought them up. Even in that state, the quality coming from the vineyards was exceptional. Now under the caring passionate hand of the owner, Alberto Arcangeli, the vineyards are returning to their formal glory. As with any genuine castle, there is also a great legend. The story goes that when the castle was being built in 1154, there was a huge and ferocious fox that roamed the land. He would attack and maul anyone who ventured on the land, and he was even said to have fire coming out of his eyes and its mouth. The prince, determined to build his castle on this strategic hilltop, rounded up his bravest knights and went hunting for the fox. His army, however, was no match for the savage animal half of them were quickly decimated. The prince himself finally cornered the fox in a tree and managed to get a lasso around his neck. As the fox leapt from the tree to attack the prince, he was hung by the lasso. And so, the castle earned its name, Strozzavolpe, which means hang the fox. But the legend doesn t end there. The prince's wizard warned him that the castle he was about to build would only last as long as the body of the fox. To ensure the longevity of his castle, the prince immediately ordered that the fox be embalmed & stuffed with liquid gold. The fox was then buried deep in the foundation of the castle. It is said that when the moon is full, the fox can be seen wandering the grounds of the castle.

In 1914, he founded the Casa Agrícola Venâncio da Costa Lima, in Quinta do Anjo, on the Setubal Peninsula. During its formative years, his company sold wine, olive oil and grain, but they later specialized exclusively in the production and sale of wine. Between the 1930 s and 1950 s, Venâncio da Costa Lima was the second largest wine producer in the region. During his lifetime, Venâncio became a highly recognized and esteemed person in the region, holding positions in his local and regional government (including mayor of Palmela from ). He passed on November 1, 1956, at the age of 64. Because he was childless, he bequeathed the winery to his six nieces and nephews who, from that time on, specialized in producing the region s wines (Moscatel, red and white). Having passed through four generations, this winery remains a family business, managing 3 million liters annually. It is currently in an investment phase, rebuilding the entire production area. Venâncio da Costa Lima has been recognized as producer of the "Best Muscat in the World" (Muscats du Monde 2011).

Retail Price: $8.99 / bottle Vilerma Vilerma is owned by Arsenio Paz, who converted the local production from kiwi to grape back in the 1970's, when the demand for Galician white wine grew. The Ribeiro Denomination of Origin is in Southern Galicia, on the North-West edge of the province of Ourense, where the valleys formed by the Miño, Avia, Arnoia and Barbantiño rivers meet. It has 2,685 hectares of vineyards in the villages of Ribadavia, Arnoia, Castrelo de Miño, Carballeda de Avia, Leiro, Cenlle, Beade, Punxín and Cortegada, and in parts of the boroughs of Boborás, San Amaro, Toén, Carballiño and Ourense. The vineyards cover areas of varying altitudes, from 75 to 400 metres above sea level, in valleys and on sometimes very steep hillsides on terraces known as "socalcos" or "bocarribeiras" that follow the contours of the hills. There are 7 hectares (17.36 acres) of vines which mainly consist of the Ribeiro production varieties: Treixadura, Torrontes, Godello, Albariño, Loureira & Lado Treixadura grape: Distinguished, harmonious and rounded, Treixadura is the top white variety in the Ribeiro vineyards; it is perfectly suited to the area and is the expression of the full potential of the region. It is gradually being planted to take over from other varieties that are less suitable for the area. It is irreplaceable in the Ribeiro district and was the main variety responsible for the legendary reputation earned by the region's wines.

Retail Price: $17.99 / bottle Bodega de Txakoli Talai Berri The Talai-Berri winery is located at Zarautz, one of the towns belonging to the "Getariako Txakolina" D.O. Built in 1992, the winery lays on the sunniest slopes of Mount Talai Mendi, surrounded by 12 hectares of vineyards. Founder Bixente Eizagirre Aginaga represents the fourth generation, and his daughters, Itziar and Onditz, are the fifth generation making Txakoli out of their family vineyards fruit. The family relies on advanced techniques (Harvest in small crates, sorting tables, temperature controlled fermentation, etc... ) to make top quality, young, fruity wine. Bixente Eizaguirre, son of a family with a long history of wine production, already had a vast professional career in winemaking and production. He went beyond winemaking, taking initiative and focusing his efforts on obtaining the DO for a product which his ancestors, as well as himself, had been working so hard for. The Getariako Txakolina DO was established in 1990, and in 1992, after more dedicated efforts from Bixente, Talai Berri became the first winery built exclusively for manufacturing and distributing Txakoli. Bixente Eizaguirre is a member of the Getariako Txakolina Denominación de Origin Control Board. When the Talai Berri winery & facilities were created, new plantings were added to those which had existed for centuries. This was done to establish new hectares of vineyard with indigenous grapes. Traditionally, vineyards were established facing the sea and following the Spanish grapevine system. However, many did not take into account that solar irradiation in the Basque Country was lower than in other traditional wine-production areas in Spain, and the rain was higher than the Spanish average. Therefore, the decision was made to plant the vineyards facing south and following the high trellis system. Even amidst these changes, the characteristic indigenous types of grape for making Txakoli had been maintained: the Hondarribi Zuri and the Hondarribi Beltza are two grape varieties which fully adapt themselves to the land and climate of the area. It is the land, climate, grape, and the combination of tradition and carefully elaborated innovation the creates a slightly sparkling wine that is young yet full of character, dry yet fresh, light yet fruity and persistent.

138 Alleme Getariako Txakolina 12/750ml Source: Spain - Getariako Txakolina 100% Hondarribi Zuri After harvesting and pressing, the must is left to ferment in stainless steel tanks. Traditionally, and until recently, this was done in oak or chestnut barrels, called kupels, in Basque. Fermentation lasts days and then the txacolí is left to lie on its lees. The CO2 prevents oxidation and dissolves the sediments and gives the wine its sparkling characteristic. The wines is not racked so it does not lose its sparkle and is clarified by natural sedimentation by gravity in the tank or barrel. Traditionally, the wine is tasted on the feast of San Antonio on 17 January, which is known as Txacolí Day (Txacoli Eguna, in Basque). A very fruity, crisp and clean white from Spain's Basque Country with a slight spritz (due to fermentation), citrus and exotic fruits, mineral and floral notes. Good balance and bright acidity. In the mouth, it is round and unctuous, with a good balance of structure and acidity. To obtain such a Txakoli, we have combined the most traditional and innovative production methods. Thanks to the batonnage (stirring of the lees), we have reached the typical unctuosity of this Txakoli.

Bodegas del Palacio de Fefinanes Founded in 1904, Palacio de Fefinanes is housed inside a spectacular baronial palace which sits on the lovely main square of coastal Cambados. The facility was built in 1647 by viscount of Fefiñanes Gonzalo Sarmiento Valladares ( ) and is currently owned by Juan Gil Careaga. Palacio de Fefiñanes was the first producer to bottle wine under the D.O. Rías Baixas denomination. The label design dates from 1928 and shows an engraving of the Fefiñanes Palace. The winemaker is Cristina Mantilla. In the Rias Baixas region, where the vineyards are quite windy due to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, the wine gains a certain acidity and freshness. The winery has only a token acreage and buys its Albariño grapes from producers under long-term contract and with technical assistance from the winery's enologist. They make two 100% Albariño wines: Albariño de Fefiñanes, a young traditional style Rías Baixas white (30,000 bottles/year); and 1583 Albariño de Fefiñanes, aged six months in 600-liter sherry butts (4,000 bottles/year).

A pioneer among the Rias Baixas wines, its classic presentation is a reflection of the elegance that, 100 years after in creation, continues to set this prince of Albariños apart from other wines. Owner Juan Gil comments that the wine really starts to come into its own in June/July, and he actually prefers it 18 or more months after it's made. A Fefiñanes "vertical" of three or four vintages can provide some most interesting surprises. Fresh fruit aromas of apricot and peach slices with notes of lemon and green apple. Pretty notes of honey and wet nutmeg, and the mouth is round, clean, and pleasant with baked apple, honey, and lemon. This is a classic Albariño which is good young, but actually improves over two to three years and remains quite drinkable for up to five years.

Suggested Retail Price: $9.99 / bottle Bodegas Luis Canas & Bodegas Amaren Bodegas Luis Canas is one of Rioja Alavesa s oldest family-owned wineries. The history starts with Carlos Cañas, who sold his wines in bulk, transporting them by mule and cart throughout the region. Carlos son, Luis Cañas, born in 1928 and still active at the winery, shifted the focus from selling young bulk wines to producing bottled wines. In 1970, he launched his namesake winery marked a new milestone in the winery s transformation when Juan Luis Cañas, the only son of Mr. Luis Cañas, took over as general manager at age 33 and brought a fresh approach. Juan Luis began to lay the foundation for what would later become a more modernized winery, AMAREN, whose first harvest was the 1995 vintage. Along the way the reputation of Luis Cañas continued to grow, and the family legacy is sealed as a major producer both in Rioja Alavesa and throughout Spain and the world. Located in the town of Villabuena de Alava, south of the province of Álava, Bodegas Luis Canas is one of the leading wineries in the Rioja Alavesa region. Sheltered from harsh weather extremes by the Sierra Cantabria Mountains to the north, the hillside vineyards are comprised of nutrient-poor chalky clay soil. What the soil lacks in nutrients is

142 142 compensated for with small plot cultivation with low yields to produce small firm clusters of berries of excellent quality Almost 900 plots are needed to complete the approximately 400 hectares of estate-owned or cellar-controlled vineyards, some with vines more than 100 years in age. Vines are years old, and almost completely located on steep slopes and terraces. All of the grapes undergo a manual selection process, and grapes destined for reservas and premium wines undergo a second selection based on their weight. Luis Cañas was the first winery in Spain to employ this type of selection process. Sustainable farming practices are honored and overseen by a team of specialists in this area. Luis Cañas was the first winery in Spain to obtain the BRC Protocol with AENOR, the ISO , the ISO quality certification, and inaugurated its own waste water treatment plant. The second winery, AMAREN, is a 52-hectare winery also located in Villabuena. Amaren, with means of the mother in Basque, began with the 1995 vintage as a tribute to Ángeles, the mother of Juan Luis Cañas & wife to Luis Canas. Juan Luis says, Ángeles was a tireless worker, right up to her death, who devoted her whole life to working on the land and in the winery alongside her husband, and her enthusiastic, kind character is present in every one of our wines. Luis Cañas caring approach to producing wines that respect the environment and the process also extends to its workers. In 2006, the winery built and opened a facility to house 40 vineyard workers on the property. This initiative received the prestigious 2008 Caring Company Award given by the magazine Dato Luis Canas, Rioja Blanco 12/750ml Source: Spain-Rioja 85% Viura and 15% Malvasia Aged 3 Months in New French Oak This white Rioja from one of the regions most enduring family-run wineries is produced from hillside vineyards sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria Mountains to the north from harsh weather extremes.

Suggested Retail Price: $32.95 / bottle Cosecheros de Labastida In the mid-1960s, 175 vintners decided to join forces and found the Unión de Cosecheros of Labastida, which currently ranks as the largest co-operative winery in the Basque Country, with a production capacity of 7 million litres. Right from the outset, these winegrowers wanted to be involved in the entire process, from cultivating vineyards to barrel-ageing wine to bottling. The co-op has established its own brands and strived to enhance its facilities, equipping them with the most modern equipment available, as with its stainless-steel tanks, a cooling unit for regulating fermentation temperatures and new bottling plant. The ageing of wines has always been one of this winery's passions and primary concerns. At present, the co-op has 6000 American oak casks in storage, with an average age of five years. The winery employs precision viticulture techniques using the latest technology to track the vegetative cycle. Bodegas y Viñedos Labastida has developed a pioneering system of weather stations that allows the winery to monitor their vineyards health and thus prevent diseases that might damage the grapes. The weather stations, located in six different vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, gather information and send it to a GPS system whose main mission is to forecast diseases such as mildew, botrytis or oidium, which may be harmful for the plants. César Castro, Viticulture Director at Bodegas y Viñedos Labastida, is delighted with this technology. With success rates of 80% for mildew and 60% for botrytis, his optimism is well founded. The stations also forecast the impact of climatic factors on the vines and soil, as well as measuring rainfall levels, solar radiation, leaves and vines humidity and wind speed and direction. Castro interprets the data sent by the GPS back to the winery, putting the information to use in obtaining great quality wines.

144 144 The quad used by Castro is to get to his weather stations is more than just a means of transport. The four-wheeled vehicle incorporates a sensor that sweeps the vineyards to draw an extremely precise map of the vineyards and measure the vigor of the leaves. A vineyard with a high level of vigor may produce grapes that are unsuitable for vinification, while others with less vigor could be of better quality, Castro explains. High-tech viticulture helps to make high quality wines Montebuena Rioja 12/750ml Source: Spain-Rioja 100% Tempranillo Montebuena is the name of one of the best quality areas of Labastida.

Founded by Roberto San Ildefonso in 1998, it was one of less than 10 registered wineries in the appellation, which today counts more than 50 producers. Roberto was originally from Rioja,but left the region when he realized the potential to craft bold, powerful and beautifully structured wines from the Tempranillo clone, Tinta de Toro. This variety produces smaller grapes and with thicker skins than Tempranillo. Among other features, this grape has a higher color concentration, as well as more anthocyanins (which give the wine its aromas) and tannins (which gives structure). The principal winemaking consultant is Manuel Ruiz Hernández, one of Rioja's most respected enologists. Finca Sobreño currently owns 80 hectares (197 acres) of vineyard, of which about half are vines over 45 years old and divided in many small parcels. In addition, the winery controls 155 hectares of independently owned old-vines plots. The vineyards are 100% Tinta de Toro, pruned "en vaso" (bush vines), as well as double cordon Royat in the newer plantings. Soil types are alluvial with a thick clay subsoil, and a mix of sand and gravel. Yields are quite low, averaging about 4,000 kg/hectare. Many of the vines are ungrafted. The winery owns 1,400 barriques (primarily American oak) and boasts a production capacity of 500,000 bottles/year.

Wines destined to be the Reserva de la Familia label are made from a selection of grapes from old vines, those which combine a series of characteristics such as good orientation and exposure to the sun, and a poor soil which ensures low yields. This wine is one of very few Rioja wines to blend Cabernet Sauvignon with Tempranillo. Bodegas Luis Cañas was granted permission by the D.O.Ca. to plant this variety as an experiment in the early 1980s. A brillant garnet color with cherry hints on the edges. The nose offers a complex variety of aromas that combine to bring an intense and sophisticated wine. Initially we can find very ripe berry fruits, smoky notes, raisins and liquor. After a certain amount of aeration, the cinnamon and jam notes appear and, with a little more time, the roasted and spiced aromas are noticed more clearly. The palate is full, with a good presence of tannins, although these are offset by the glycerine like character, resulting in a fleshy sensation. Long lasting and lingering finish.

This is an agricultural co-op specializing in grape and cherry production. There are 150 grape growers in the co-op, tending 330 hectares (815 arces) of vines with an average age of more than 30 years.

153 153 Felix Solis Marques de Moral is produced at the Bodega Félix Solís, Spain's leading producer of 750ml bottled wine. This is a family operation founded in the 1950's with more than 26,000 oak barrels and an annual production of some 90 million liters. Félix Solís, S.A. began its career in 1952, the year in which its founder, D. Félix Solís Fernández moved to Valdepeñas with the desire to establish a family winery thanks to the fame and quality of their wines. The Solís family had a background in the wine trade since the nineteenth century through the Camino Real, linking Madrid and Andalusia. From the first elaborations in the "Casa del Cura del Huerto", the winery has never ceased to grow. The partnership with winemaker Domingo Maroto in the 60s allowed Félix Solís to bottle in Madrid quality wines that were traditionally marketed in skins or large tanks, giving them an added value, that thousands of bars and restaurants appreciated. Given the need to elaborate and bottle at source, following the creation of DO Valdepeñas in 1968, the current winery was built in the 70s. The 500 hectares of vineyards are situated between Campo de Calatrava and Montiel in La Mancha province of Ciudad Real. This area is characterized by its gentle countryside, rolling plains and soft hills. The soil is rich in clayey and chalky soils. Scarce rainfall and extreme temperature differences between day and night contribute to a naturally healthy viticulture, giving low production and concentrated wines, that are rich and complex Marques Moral, Crianza, Valdepenas 12/750ml Source: Spain - Valdapenas 100% Tempranillo Aged 6 months in American oak.

Arlanza is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) located in the provinces of Burgos and Palencia, Castile and León, Spain. The DO, created in 2008, covers 67 municipalities (54 in the province of Burgos and 13 in the province of Palencia). The DO takes its name from the river Arlanza which flows through it.

155 155 Bodegas Peique Valle de Cua is produced by Bodegas Peique in Bierzo. The Peique family is from Valtuille de Abajo, a winemaking village of less than 100.

Now almost 20 years later, the family has its own winery & maintains the same enthusiasm for winemaking that they were raised with. They learned early that in an area of small farms, where parcels were so similar, the distinction must be made in the treatment of the vineyard and in the winemaking process.

Retail Price: $13.99 / bottle Bodegas Vinsacro (formerly Valsacro) The Escudero family has been making wine and growing grapes for generations in the rugged, semi-desert foothills around Grávalos in the southwestern corner of the Rioja Baja region. Over the past few decades, the Escudero brothers - led by Bordeaux-trained winemaker Amador - have transformed the small family "bodega" into a major Rioja wine producer. Operating from the small Grávalos facility, Amador realized that some of his vineyards offered the potential to do something better (and different). These old vineyards, some over 100 years planted in the old fashioned "vidau" style offered the kind of raw material needed to make a modern-style premium wine - a Rioja with a difference. ["Vidau" is a mixed variety vineyard - a field blend ready to pick.] The vineyards include Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano & Garnacha. A typical Valsacro is about 40% "vidau" (majority is Garnacha with Tempranillo & Garnacha), 50% Tempranillo from 28-year-old vines and 10% Mazuela (Carignan) from 25-year-old vines NEW! 2016 Vinsacro, Rioja Blanco 750ml Source: Spain Rioja 60% Chardonnay, 40% Viura.

164 164 Bonny Doon While Bonny Doon Vineyard began with the (in retrospect) foolish attempt to replicate Burgundy in California, Randall Grahm realized early on that he would have far more success creating more distinctive and original wines working with Rhône varieties in the Central Coast of California. The key learning here (achieved somewhat accidentally but fortuitously) was that in a warm, Mediterranean climate it is usually blended wines that are most successful. In 1986, Bonny Doon Vineyard released the inaugural vintage (1984) of Le Cigare Volant, an homage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and this continues as the winery s flagship/starship brand. Since then, Bonny Doon Vineyard has enjoyed a long history of innovation the first to truly popularize Rhône grapes in California, to successfully work with cryo-extraction for sundry Vins de Glacière, the first to utilize microbullage in California, the first to popularize screwcaps for premium wines, and, quite significantly, the first to embrace true transparency in labeling with its ingredient labeling initiative. The upside of all this activity has brought an extraordinary amount of creativity and research to the California wine scene; the doon-side, as it were, was perhaps an ever so slight inability to focus, to settle doon, if you will, into a single, coherent direction. Bonny Doon Vineyard grew and grew with some incredibly popular brands (Big House, Cardinal Zin and Pacific Rim) until it became the 28th largest winery in the United States. Randall came to the realization better late than never that he had found that the company had diverged from his original intention of producing soulful, distinctive and original wines, and that while it was amusing to be able to get restaurant reservations almost anywhere (the only real tangible perk he was able to discern from the vast scale of the operation), it was time to take a decisive course correction. He sold off the larger brands (Big House and Cardinal Zin) in 2006 and Pacific Rim in In the intervening years, the focus of the winery has been to spend far more time working with vineyards in improving their practices, as well as on making wines with a much lighter touch using indigenous yeast whenever possible, and eschewing vinous maquillage, (at least not to Tammy Faye Bakker-like levels). Recently, Randall has purchased an extraordinary property in San Juan Bautista, which he calls Popelouchum, (the Mutsun word for paradise, ) where he is profoundly intent on producing singular wines expressive of place. There are also very grand plans afoot to plant a dry-farmed Estate Cigare vineyard Bonny Doon, Picpoul 12/750ml Source: United States California Central Coast - Arroyo Seco 100% Folle Blanche (Picpoul) This is our sixth vintage Picpoul from the Beeswax vineyard, and very confidently I d suggest that it is, far and away, our best effort to date. Picpoul or lip-stinger is known, of course for its tingling acidity, but coupled with its singular savoriness, it creates a dramatic sensation on the palate.

A waxy texture adds some grip on the finish. Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Drink now. 1,307 cases made. MW" - Wine Spectator (2017), 88 pts Suggested Retail Price: $29.95 / bottle Bonny Doon, Le Cigare Blanc, Reserve 6/750ml Source: United States California Central Coast 66% Grenache Blanc and 34% Roussanne No oak - Aged in neutral vessel / glass carboy for 18 months We did some small encouraging experiments years ago, then more or less forgot about them until relatively recently, at which point we began the carboy ageing project with red Cigare. It wasn t until 09 that it dooned on me that perhaps there were even more interesting things to discover with the white. To refresh everyone s memory, this wine is more or less the same blend as our standard issue Cigare Blanc, apart from the fact that we ve allowed it to undergo malolactic fermentation, and at that point, we gave it a light SO2 addition, racked it to glass demijohn (bonbonne), where it reposed for a year and a half, getting anaerobically stirred more or less fortnightly. The wine derives entirely from the Beeswax Vineyard, located at the mouth of the Arroyo Seco. This is the fourth iteration of Le Cigare Blanc Réserve, and we continue to learn more about the mysteries of élevage in glass demijohn. The Burgundians have long understood the power of a reductive élevage, albeit en barrique typically, that is to say, the presence of a significant percentage of lees in the wine as the wine ages contributes both to a textural richness via yeast autolysis, and the slight reductive funkiness (presumably trace levels of mercaptan) contributing both to the distinctive toasty, hazelnut nose, as well as to a sort of energized zinginess, a kind of recharging of the wine s battery, as it were. Thus, the inspiration of this work with bonbonnes, and the effort to push the distinctiveness of this type of élevage to a new boundary. With this in mind, one finds in the Cigare Blanc Réserve many of the qualities that one has come to love in white Burgundy a lush, creamy texture, a haunting suggestion of the skin of pear (or is it quince?), as well as absolutely formidable length on the palate. The Beeswax Vineyard is well-named as this wine reliably suggests the fragrance of beeswax as a dominant scent; a subtle fragrance of sage or fennel is also quite reliably found in this wine from vintage to vintage.

166 Bonny Doon, Vin Gris de Cigare 12/750ml Source: Central Coast, California 49% Grenache, 19% Grenache Blanc, 13% Mourvèdre, 12% Carignane, 4% Cinsaut, and 3% Roussanne Aged in neutral vessel for 2 months (no oak). This wine is quite emblematic of the great sea change that has occurred at Bonny Doon Vineyard since the sell-off/draw-down of the Ginormous Doonamath, whereby we have essayed a most sincere effort to make quieter wines in a more natural, less manipulated fashion. As such, this Vin Gris is made from bespoke grapes and is not a byproduct of red wine production, per se. We harvested at the appropriate ripeness level for its style. The essential principle here is that less is truly more. The wine does not overwhelm one with fruity bombasticity; it s charms are seductively subtle. An extremely elegant and complex Vin Gris de Cigare. "Randall makes a terrific, classically styled rosé and the 2016 Vin Gris de Cigare Rosé is reminiscent of a classy pink from Provence. Grapefruit, strawberries, spice and hints of rose petal all emerge from this medium-bodied, supple, elegant and straight up delicious rose." - Jeb Dunnuck - Jeb Dunnuck (August 2nd 2017), 90 pts Suggested Retail Price: $18.99 / bottle Bonny Doon, Clos de Gilroy 12/750ml Source: United States California Central Coast 82% Grenache and 18% Syrah Aged in neutral oak / stainless steel for 4 months Bonny Doon Vineyard s winemaking practice is exceptionally light-handed, with minimal intervention and manipulation. We created the 2016 Clos de Gilroy from hand-harvested grapes deriving from five Central Coast vineyards. The fruit was hand-sorted, gently destemmed, and cold soaked to enhance flavor and color extraction. The must was gently punched doon to gently enhance extraction and underwent somewhat extended maceration for greater integration. We aim for weapons-grade fruit from our sundry Grenache vineyards, with the intent of producing killer Cigare, but sometimes we end up Clos (but no Cigare). A somewhat more elegant Clos de Gilroy than one has typically seen in years past, this wine has the elegance of a Proustian madeleine, and supports the notion that Grenache is the stylistic analogue (writ South) of Burgundian Pinot noir. This wine is exceptionally spicy, peppery and perfumed, and pairs exceptionally well with a range of dishes, not the least being peppered ahi tuna steak. Best served with a slight chill, especially as the weather warms up. Suggested Retail Price: $16.99 / bottle

The nose of this dark red wine shows pepper, tobacco, anise and some beef jerky amid the riot of dark fruit. After a sniff, the heft is expected. With a sip, it is delivered. The wine has great acidity and firm tannic structure. The fruit does come on strong - big, dark shades of black plums and blackberries. There is a rather large licorice play, too, and some tarry meat figures in - especially on the finish. A singing telegram.

Dedicated farmers for forty years, brothers Mark and Vic Trione own and cultivate close to 650 vineyard acres in three prime Sonoma County appellations: Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Coast.

Scot selects just three percent of the Trione estate grapes and crafts small lots of wine in his customized studio. His goal is to make wines that express the highest level of quality across all varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Zinfandel. Trione winery is located next to a 1908 landmark stone building at the Home Ranch in Alexander Valley. Respecting history and tradition, the family restored the Old Stone Building, preserving the history and authentic character.

176 176 UNITED STATES Virginia Wines Sunset Hills Vineyard Sunset Hills Vineyard, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, produces award winning, 100% Virginia wines from our Amish restored, historic winery. From the planting of the first vines in 1999, Mike and Diane Canney, owners of Sunset Hills Vineyard, had a vision of making fine wine of the highest quality in a manner which was gentle on the land. That vision is reflected in the sustainable farming practices employed today. The original Sunset Hills was a very large and beautiful farm that later became Reston, Virginia. Diane and I used to work very long hours in office buildings in Reston, looking out over the scenic landscape, dreaming that one day we would have a beautiful farm like that. Years later, after searching to find the perfect place for our vineyards and winery, Diane and I bought our first farm. Each evening, we would watch the sun set over the Blue Ridge mountains, talking about what grapes to plant, where to plant them and how we would do whatever it took to maximize quality. In 1999, the first vineyard was planted, and we needed a name. We knew it could only have the name of the farm we had admired years before. Today, many of our customers and friends enjoy our wines on the 150 yr old farm and enjoy watching the sun set over mountains. Sunset Hills Vineyard has been the perfect name! After graduating from UVA in 2011, Corry Craighill s (winemaker) love of travel guided her into the wine industry. She soon found herself working the harvest in far off places like New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and France, with a few closer to home in Oregon and Virginia. She called both King Family and Blenheim Vineyards in Charlottesville home for a while, working harvests and spending time in the lab learning the ins and outs on winemaking, but it was her stretch in Oregon that showed her this wasn t just a job, but a way of life. Although she s been tempted by opportunities in Sonoma, CA, her desire to start her career as a winemaker in her home state of Virginia has kept her planted close to home. It excites her that Virginia is still in the early experimental phase of winemaking, and she really believes in the quality of wine that can be crafted here. She s already experimenting in the cellar, and we can t wait to see the fruits of her labor as they unfold in the future. If she s not drinking a Virginia Chardonnay, you ll most likely find her with a glass of Pinot Noir in her hand. When she s not in the cellar, she s likely out hiking, playing her cello or gone for a run NV Sunset Hills, Dawn, Sparkling 12/750ml Source: United States - Virginia Floral, full of peach, pear, white flower, melon, apple.

Early in the season, while thinking about their Chambourcin block, they started thinking that the primary chemistry of earlypicked Chambourcin fit the bill for a sparkling wine, with regard to the rate at

177 177 which tartaric acid and sugars respectively fall and rise during ripening. Additionally, the bright cherry/raspberry/spice aromatics of the Chambourcin rose seemed to lend themselves to a sparkling wine. So, they went for it, producing the wine in the traditional method, hand-riddled and hand-disgorged.

Willowcroft s personal attention to detail, both in the vineyard and the winery, has resulted in national award-winning wines, time after time. In the 1800s the slopes were recognized for their potential and were planted to orchards. Today vineyards, which have replaced the fruit trees, yield superior grapes. The rustic beauty of the winery, housed in the old red barn, and the award-winning wines, will give you reason to return to this peaceful spot. Lew Parker has been making award-winning wines for over 25 years. He planted the first grapes in 1981 and founded the winery at Willowcroft Farm in Lew has been instructing others in the art of winemaking since the 1990 s. A mainstay in the Virginia as well as national wine industry for many years, including the winner of the 2002 Virginia Wine Industry Person of the Year award and the 2013 Gordon Murchie Lifetime Achievement award. The vineyards at Willowcroft date back to the early part of the modern viticulture era of Virginia. They were planted at a time when advisors from the Virginia Extension Service

182 182 still considered growing European varieties to be very risky business indeed. The first vines were planted in 1980, Those first vines died and were replanted the following year. The second planting survived. Many of those vines grow to this day, and you can see them in the home vineyard. This early planting was of Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Seyval. In those days, little was known about how to grow grapes in Virginia. It was all trial and error. Today Willowcroft farms 12.5 acres containing 12 different varieties of vines in five different locations atop the Catoctin Ridge, an ideal location which has a long history of horticulture dating from the 1800s. With elevations from 600 to 750 feet, the vines have excellent protection from late spring frosts. This location also gives us warm summer days but cool nights, perfect conditions to grow outstanding fruit. All of our vineyards are dry farmed, no irrigation. This can be tough on young vines in some years, but it also forces our older vines to spread their roots deep into our silty loam soils. This combination of climatic conditions and healthy, well drained soils, allows our vines to produce aromatic, crisp whites, and vibrant, fruity reds with excellent tannin structure. As knowledge has been gained about varieties and their suitability to Virginia, Willowcroft has added new types of vines to the original planting. Today there are five red varieties and six white varieties. The reds are principally the famous Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, with the addition of French American red Chambourcin. The whites are Chardonnay, Riesling, Albarino, Traminette, Vidal and Seyval. The addition of Albarino is recent, and the results are very exciting. Almost all of our vines are grafted onto specially selected roots to protect them against disease and promote positive growth characteristics. Willowcroft winery strives to grow vines in the most sustainable ways possible. They keep abreast of the most up to date research in viticulture in Virginia and the world. They try to keep their footprint on the land as light as possible. Using techniques such as removing leaves in the fruit zone, in the correct amount, at the correct time, can help in reducing fungal diseases which are the bane of all grape growers. Grape growing, as with all farming, is successful when you know what you can control and what you cannot. Picking the best site, keeping up with the technology available, and using a gentle hand helps us get the best Mother Nature has to offer Willowcroft, Albarino 12/750ml Source: United States - Virginia 100% Albarino No Oak.

Originally settled in the eighteenth century, the farm became a well-known horse farm, the home of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of military aviation, and now the site of Rita and John Kent Cooke s Boxwood Winery. To accomplish this goal, John Kent Cooke asked renowned viticulturalist Lucie Morton to design the sixteen-acre vineyard and Purdue University Professor of Enology Richard Vine to advise architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen on the design of the state-of-the-art winery. In 2006 Stéphane Derenoncourt, one of Bourdeaux s greatest winemakers, became consultant to Boxwood. Today Stéphane works with Boxwood s viticulturalist, winemaker and executive Vice President Rachel Martin, in developing the best blends for each vintage. The Boxwood Estate Vineyard boasts the tightest planting on the east coast. The 19-acre sustainable vineyard blankets the slopes of this historic farmland on its highest elevation. Every vine and grape are treated with tenderness and respect, producing elegant wines with depth, complexity and finesse. Exposure/Soils Boxwood Estate Vineyard is comprised of 3 blocks; A, B & C Blocks with an average elevation of 535ft above sea level. The vineyard is Purcellville Silt Loam with Gneiss, Shist and Granite bedrock. A-Block, planted with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc comprises the highest portion of the vineyard with the most well drained, loose and rocky soil in the vineyard. The exposition of A-Block varies from North West to South. B- Block, planted entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon has considerably more clay limiting the growth of the vines, exposition is North West. C- Block, planted entirely to Cabernet Franc, has varying soils with rocky thin soils at the northwest edge and slopes slightly to the southeast with increasing clay content.

To this day they use no artificial technology in their cellars, as each one of their vats is linked to a particular soil and vintage, and for this reason they belong to the group "Renaissance des Appellations". He has proven that organic producers can make great wines, with his Muscadet Sèvre et Maine gaining a fine reputation. Today Domaine de l ecu is run by Fred Niger Van Herck, who took over for Guy in He is dedicated to maintaining the biodynamic traditions and culture. Guy still works as a consultant with Fred in the vineyard & in the cellar. Together they farm 17 hectares of vines (50 years old on average) and they produce 3 different cuvees, each masterfully crafted to highlight the expression of the specific soil types.

203 203 Henriques & Henriques - Madeira Henriques & Henriques was founded in 1850 by Joao Joachim Henriques. The Carmo Vinhos part of the business was established in 1928, in order to ship Madeira wine to Sweden. In 1944, the company expanded to several international markets, including the USA. The islands of Madeira lie isolated in the Atlantic, some 400 miles west of the Moroccan coast. The volcanic soil and sub-tropical climate produce grapes with flavors that are particularly intense and individual. The varied and distinctive styles of Madeira wine owe much of their character to their gentle heating by the unique "estufagem", also known as Canteiro, process. At Henriques & Henriques, the wines are aged in barrels stacked in their Quinta Grande facilty, where the gentle warming of the wine and the impact of the wood gives way to a wonderful caramel taste. As the wines age (10, 15, 20 years), they are moved to the cooler Belem Lodge, so that the heat becomes slightly gentler. Carmo's wines have long standing reputation as fine, classical Madeira wines. Henriques & Henriques is now the largest producer of Madeira wines on the island, and they are also the only Madeira producer to own vineyards. Today the company is run by John Cossart, whose father Peter Cossart entered the firm in 1938 (following the death of his partner Joao Joachim Henriques) NV Carmo Vinhos, Madeira Monte Secco 12/750ml Source: Portugal Madeira 100% Monte Secco A very light, pale colour.

Suggested Retail Price: $9.99 / 4-pack Escutcheon Brewing Company BEER The creation of Escutcheon Brewing Co. started with the friendship between two guys who really like beer. John Hovermale and Art Major met when John was working to get a different brewery open in Winchester. That brewery didn t work out, but their friendship did. Together, pint after pint, they talked often about how they would do it the right way if they were to start a brewery of their own. John, a master brewer, began at the Siebel Institute in Illinois more than fifteen years ago and has worked for breweries in Vermont, Maryland and Mississippi. Art is an accomplished entrepreneur who has founded other successful businesses. And although he hasn t had the same experience brewing, Art feels that he has taken so much beer out of the system that it was time to put some back in. The combination of their

210 210 backgrounds and experiences, as well as their passion and drive to create good beer, were the perfect ingredients to build Escutcheon Brewing Co. John brews the beer. Art keeps the lights on. They both drink the beer. Harmony! John came up with the recipes and brewery design. Art came up with the branding. When he said he wanted to have our theme be related to the industrial maritime industry I thought, Sure, we re 150 miles from the ocean so that makes sense. What a jerk. - John Hovermale Art spent some time in the merchant marine and wanted to incorporate that experience into the brewery. The brand name, the names of the beers and even the design of the taproom all relate back to that. Now, after the first year of building the brewery from the ground up, they have grown to absolutely detest each other. Luckily, the fact that they have created some really good beer has allowed them to continue to work together proving once again that good beer heals all wounds! 569. Escutcheon, Agonic Line Lager 4/6/12oz (CANS) ABV: 5%; 22 IBU Hops: Hallertauer and Tettnanger Malts: Pilsner, Vienna and Munich Yeast: Proprietary Yeast Strain Agonic Line is a true to style Vienna Lager. Malty aroma and sweetness are achieved with a combination of domestic and imported malts, with subtle bitterness from noble hop strikes in the kettle. A smooth and unwavering brew, this perfect combination of ingredients is sure to lead you in the right direction. Explanation of the name: Agonic [ey-gon-ik] Line: A line on a chart that has no magnetic variation; i.e., on which true north is the same as magnetic north. Suggested Retail Price: $10.99 / 6-pack 570. Escutcheon, Growler Kolsch 4/6/12oz (CANS) ABV: 4.5%; 22 IBU Hops: Perle and Hullmelon Malts: Pilsner, Carapils, White Wheat Yeast: Proprietary Yeast Strain The Growler Kölsch is a twist on the classic Kölsch from Cologne, having a crisp malty flavor and subtle refreshing notes of German hops. But don't let it's light color fool you - the flavor runs deep and is more complex than meets the eye. As a lagered ale, this beer maintains the flavor of an ale, but also has a clean refreshing lager finish. The best of both worlds! Explanation of the name: Growler [grou - ler] : small icebergs that rise only about 3 feet out of the water, with an exceedingly larger portion of ice beneath the waterline. When trapped air escapes as the ice melts, it sometimes makes the sound of an animal growling - thus how they got the name "Growlers." Suggested Retail Price: $10.99 / 6-pack

211 Escutcheon, Slip Angle IPA 6/4/16oz (CANS) ABV: 7%; 57 IBU Hops: Warrior, Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra, Whole Mellon Malts: 2-Row, Barley, Unmalted Wheat Yeast: Proprietary Yeast Strain When grain is transported in bulk onboard a ship, and important consideration is the "Slip Angle" of the grain. The Slip Angle of grain is around 20, which means that if the ship rolls more than 20 the grain will shift which will cause the ship to develop a large list to one side. Any additional rolling will cause the grain to shift even further which could cause the vessel to capsize. Our Slip Angle IPA is a New England Style IPA which definitely "lists" heavily to the hoppy side. Purposefully hazy and juicy, this beer is definitely unbalanced, and we hope you enjoy the dry hopped flavor. Hazy body, pale white foam, soft on the palate, bitterness. Citrus, fruity aromas. Suggested Retail Price: $16.99 / 4-pack 572. Escutcheon, Annealed Coffee Stout (poured from tap) ABV: 6. 5%; 20 IBU Hops: Centennial Malts: Carafe 3, C-120, 2-Row Pale, Chocolate Rye, Midnight Wheat When steel is annealed, it is heated up and then cooled slowly to relieve lockedup stresses. Similarly, this variant of our famous stout has been heated up with a higher ABV and then slowly cold-infused with locally-roasted, ethicallysourced coffee beans from Winchester, VA's own Hopscotch Coffee. Midnight Wheat allows for a thick, frothy head and deep, dark color. Enjoy our Annealed Coffee Stout, it's sure to relieve your stresses. Available in draft only 2nd Shift Brewing 2nd Shift Brewing was founded in 2009 by Steve Crider in New Haven, Missouri. Surrounded by the rolling hills of central Missouri, Steve and his wife Libby made the best use of space until it was clear that we needed more space. Steve and Libby looked for over two years at new spaces in the St. Louis area until they found a small warehouse in the historic Hill neighborhood of St. Louis. They opened a small tasting room and expanded their staff from 2 to 9. Their new space not only allows them to interact directly with the customers, but also gave them the ability to continue to grow. They've added three additional fermenters (with plans for more) and three locally-made Foeder Crafter foeders. All of this expansion means more beer. 2nd Shift brewed about 800bbls in 2016, 2000bbls in 2017, and plans to double that again in We plan to add a couple more fermenters along with additional foeders and possibly a canning line as well.

212 nd Shift, Art of Neurosis, American IPA 6/4/16oz (CANS) ABV: 7.6%; 65 IBU Hops: Simcoe and Columbus Malts: Two row, Crystal 40 Art of Neurosis is literally the art of Steve s neurosis. On of the staples at the brewery, AON was the first big batch that 2nd Shift ever produced and distributed. It actually took Steve 47 times to brew this beer before he considered it ready for the main stage. AON is the first beer I made at the brewery. It is a hop sandwich brewed with Simoce & Columbus Hops, which are the greatest things in the world besides a good smack in the face. Suggested Retail Price: $15.99 / 4-pack nd Shift, Cat Spit Stout 6/4/16oz (CANS) ABV: 7% Hops: Summit Malts: Two Row, Oats, Roasted Barley, Lactose Oatmeal Milk Stout. Cat Spit Stout came to be when Steve was brewing his oatmeal milk stout. The infamous El Gato Grande was nearby, chewing on some grain and spitting it back on to the floor. Seriously. We can t make this stuff up Coffeey, roasty, blah blah blah, it's a stout, just drink it, it's really good. Suggested Retail Price: $15.99 / 4-pack nd Shift, Little Big Hop, Session IPA 6/4/16oz (CANS) ABV: 4.9% Hops: Magnum, Cascade, Zythos, Simcoe, Columbus Malts: Two Row, Oats East Coast-Style Session IPA. They wanted a hoppy beer that was easy on the ABV but would still slap ya right in the face with hops. Little ABV, big hops. Little Big Hops... GET IT? And since it sounds like Little Bighorn, we decided to personify the beer with a little hops dude riding a horse with a super cool hat. A small wonder to behold, with all of the hop flavors and aromas and coming in at only 4.9% ABV. Some people would call it a session IPA but they would be wrong because that makes no sense. It's a low alcohol double IPA or maybe an imperial table beer or an American lager that uses ale yeast and 10 times the hops as normal. This beer is stupid good. Hops used: Magnum, Cascade, Zythos, Simcoe, Columbus. Suggested Retail Price: $15.99 / 4-pack

213 nd Shift, Katy, Brett Saison 6/4/12oz (CANS) ABV: 5.4% Hops: St. Celeia Malts: German Pils, White Wheat American Brett Saison. Katy is named after the gorgeous wild Katy Trail that the brewery overlooked back when we started in New Haven. Don't know what to call it besides a Brett Beer. This one gets aged for 3 months in oak barrels with Brettanomyces Lambicus, a cool yeast that gives this beer a wonderfully pretty aroma and flavor that everyone better like or else I'll look you up and teach you a lesson. Suggested Retail Price: $15.99 / 4-pack RJ Rockers Brewing Company RJ Rockers Brewing Company became Spartanburg's first brewery in 1997, when owner and brewer Mark Johnsen set out on a mission to provide the people of the Upstate with the best microbrewed beer they had ever tasted. Mark, a New Jersey native, had loved brewing beer for his friends and family for years. Following his service in the 1991 Gulf War, Mark was stationed in Germany as a member of the United States armed forces, and he took this opportunity to learn as much as possible about brewing from the experts. By the time he was honorably discharged from the service, he was ready to take his beer to the public. Mark established RJ Rockers Brewing Company as a brewpub in Spartanburg's historic downtown Morgan Square in Over the course of the next five years, RJ Rockers became a favorite downtown meeting place. Patrons could sample as many as ten different craft-brewed beers on any given day, with favorites ranging from a light golden Kolsch to a dark, sweet Stout, while watching the new batches brewed before their eyes in the glass-enclosed brewhouse. Rockers patrons enjoyed the best beer around, excellent food, and entertainment ranging from live rock and roll bands to fiercely competitive trivia contests hosted by the owner and brewer himself. After five successful years of building a reputation for having some of the best and freshest craft-brewed beers in South Carolina, RJ Rockers made the transition into the microbrewing industry. Now, Rockers beer can be found fresh and on tap, in restaurants

Deep brown in color, from a fusion of rich chocolate, caramel and black malts. Brown Eyed Squirrel is a smooth and flavorful b rown ale and is one of our most regularly awarded beers; most recently taking the silver medal at the Best of Craft Beer Awards.

It is the ancestral homeland of the Ritenour family of Stephens City Virginia, brewers of Alesatian.

In the fall of 2012, they built their hops field. After all, hops are the herbs that flavor beer. Hops provide the bitter balance to the sweet malt that feeds yeast, which ferments beer. In 2013, they began the process of creating an ordinance in Warren County to accommodate farm breweries. By late spring, the process was complete and Backroom Brewery became the first farm brewery in the Northern Shenandoah Valley. The first hop harvest in August of 2013 was bountiful.

Eikun, also known as Saito Shuzo Co. LTD., was founded in 1895 and is located in the Fushimi region of Kyoto Japan. In 1905 during the Taisho period in Japanese history, the "EIKUN" sake was adopted as the company's corporate brand name. Since then, the finest quality sake has been produced by Saito Sake Brewery, known as "EIKUN." It is acknowledged today as the finest sake produced in the Fushimi district of Japan, famously known to sake lovers for its premium brewed sake. There are Kura in this area.over the years, the company has become a leader in the sake industry and the pioneer for the development of quality premium sake in Japan. Due to the quality of its water source, the Fushimi region is home to over 30 other breweries. The soft water plays an instrumental part in creating smooth and balanced sake. With its moderate climate and beautiful natural surrounding, Kyoto greatly contributes to the delicate and quality taste of Saito Sake and captures the essence of premium sake quality at its best. Unique to the region of Kyoto is Iwai rice which is only used by Kyoto sake producers. In fact, Eikun purchases 40% of all Iwai rice produced. This rice is used for eight products. In addition, the Kura also uses Yamada Nishiki rice. Eikun sake uses water from a source called "Fusui", rated as one of the top 100 sources of water in Japan. This water source is located just south of Kyoto, the cultural - and former imperial - capital of Japan. Eikun Sake isn't just known on the consumers market level, it is also very well received at traditional high end Japanese restaurants throughout Japan where people come to enjoy the traditional taste of Japanese cuisine and to enjoy the unique experience of Eikun Sake. Kyoto is home to a particular type of cuisine called Kaiseki. Kaiseki is a sequence of small and artistically arranged dishes, both beautiful in presentation and flavor. "Kaiseki" in Kyoto cuisine is all about "Dashi (broth)" and "Umami". The taste of the food is elegant and does not contain a lot of soy sauce or salt. Therefore, the sake flavor is slightly gentle and soft to match with local Kyoto cuisine. The western area of Japan around Kyoto blends sake and culture into a perfect marriage. Each year since the 1890's, there has been a competition which judges sake quality called "Shinshu Kanpyou-Kai" - National New Sake Competition (now called National Competition). Eikun has received the gold medal for their sake an unprecedented 14

221 221 years in a row. Only 20-25% of all Kura receive gold medals each year. In addition, no Kura or brewery has received the award 14 times consecutively. The National Competition is attended by 90% of all 1,300 Kura in Japan and is for Daiginjo grade (competition sake) products only Eikun, Junmai Ginjo, Big Hawk 12/720ml, 30/300ml Sake type: Junmai-shu The Big Hawk expresses elegant sweet aromas from Iwai sake rice. The soft water source (low iron content) from the Fushimi Kyoto region makes for an enjoyable light and dry sake with a smooth, medium texture. The flavor is moderate and clean with a nice balance of sweetness. It shows a pleasantly dry finish. The Big Hawk is made from 100% "IWAI SAKE RICE" which is only grown in Kyoto prefecture of Japan. In 1933, Iwai rice was created at the agricultural experiment station in Kyoto, and it was specifically designed for brewing quality sake. The aftermath of WWII saw a serious food crisis and sake rice was driven from the fields through national necessity. In 1988, the sake industry and agriculture industry teamed up to bring back the Iwai rice again. At that time, they only had a small amount of seeds, so it took about two years to harvest just enough volume to brew sake as a test run. Over the years, the Kyoto local sake brewers including Eikun have been improving their brewing skills to make high quality sake with Iwai rice.

Michel Couvreur was a passionate perfectionist when it came to Scotch Whisky, so its no surprise that his handcrafted whiskies are recognized as the epitome of excellence, despite the challenges created by the general automation of production. In 1988, the Danish media called him "The Last of the Mohicans, as he was indeed one of the last of the artisanal producers of Scotch Whisky in the world. The world lost an incredible talent when Michel passed away in August 2013, but we are fortunate that he shared many of his secrets with his apprentices, long-time employee and confident, Jean-Arnaud Frantzen, and his son-in-law, Cyril Deschamps. Jean Arnaud and Cyril are committed to continuing the tradition, work and the life of Michel Couvreur. Couvreur whiskies mature in rate sherry casks (Pedro Ximenez and/or Palomino), in a cellar that Couvreur dug himself, in the hillsides of Bouze-les-Beaune. The barrels are what makes Couvreur whiskies so special much time, effort and money goes into searching for and selecting the most unique barrels, with the most attention on what was previously in the barrel and for how long. The large and humid cellar leads to a 500-foot tunnel with galleries full of natural springs, surrounded by rows of barrels. The barrels have been impregnated for decades by the powerful and voluptuous Jerez (Sherry), and here the germinated barley (or malted barley) mixed with water brought from Scotland slowly becomes whisky. A small room far from any light called "the paradise" shelters some rare, old and elegant nectar, carefully kept in sealed demijohns.

Calvados Morin was set up in 1945 in the former facilities of the Thélème Distillery, a famous liquor at that time. The main advantage of the establishment was its unique aging facilities, particularly its large underground cellars, where several hundred small oak barrels can be stored. Dug into the chalky hills of the Eure Valley, the long galleries go deep into the cliff. The extremely humid atmosphere is perfect for the Calvados aging process, allowing the alcohol content to decrease naturally & create a remarkably smooth brandy. Today, the company is run by Mr. Viry, father and son, who succeeded Pierre Morin. Their company was one of the first to send Calvados to the United States. Morin Calvados Selection, AOC Calvados 12/750ml Stored in noble, strong Limousin oak barrels, this Calvados develops gradually.
