Fall 2011 Vineyards
Great wine starts with great fruit.
We focus on sourcing high quality fruit from notable growers around the country. To ensure that your wine realizes its full potential, we've spent countless hours cherry picking varietals that do best from a particular vineyard. Whether the grapes come from New York or California, we make sure they get the white glove treatment while in transport from vine to our facility. Below you will find a chart comparing all the varietals and vineyards you can choose from in Fall 2011.
