Traditionally, most Champagne has been sold

by the “Grand Marquees”, the illustrious

names we associate with luxury, Moët,

Veuve Clicquot etc. The great houses have

always depended on myriad small growers to

supply much of their grapes. More and more,

the small family growers have begun to

bottle and market their own wines. The

André Jacquart wines, as an example come

from a family who own Premier and Grand

Cru vineyards. For generations, they sold to

the big players, but became early proponents

of the “grower Champagne” movement,

guaranteeing the quality and exceptional

value of their wines.

At left, Marie Doyard, current proprietor and

granddaughter of André Jacquart

50 Sandhi, ‘Rita’s Crown’, Santa Rita Hills, California, 2014 | 82 “Very Burgundian” is the fashionable claim made by most California Chardonnays these days but finding

one that actually earns the praise is often difficult. Sandhi is one of the very few. Founded by former

sommelier Raj Par and made by Sashi Moorman, they make Pinot and Chard in the cool Santa Rita Hills

that are surprising for their elegance, freshness and delicacy. Not surprisingly, the Sandhi team was

instrumental in also founding an informal association of California winemakers who come together under

the title “In Pursuit of Balance”. The name says it all and indeed, this is a quality that in California wines

has been most conspicuous for its absence.

Loire Valley Chenin Blancs

Two not-very-well-known regions in the Loire Valley are the source of some of the best white wines in

France: Vouvray and Savennières. Made exclusively with the Chenin Blanc grape, they share a limestone

soil that’s the key to their finesse and complexity. Both are noted for the beauty of their perfume: peach,

white flowers, green apple. Then there is the exquisite balance: an often honeyed fruit set off against the

bright, citrus-like acidity. In Vouvray, the limestone is mixed with clay and chalk; the wines are forward

and lush. In Savennières, the soil is limestone and slate, producing a more refined, tightly-wound wine

with mineral flavors and great ageability.

Maison Trimbach

Since 1626 the Trimbach family have been making wine on the limestone hills in Ribeauville,

Alsace. Today Jean and Pierre Trimbach, the 12th generation, handle daily business. Every Three

Star Michelin restaurant in France, all twenty-six, carry these wines. Of the wines in our collection,

only the Vendages Tardive is sweet. These are dry whites that match extremely well with all

kinds of dishes: seafood, chicken, duck and especially pork. The Gewurztraminers are perfect with

a wide range of Asian cuisines.

On the Greek island Santorini, bitter winds, volcanic soil and zero (!) rainfall during the growing

season have combines to inspire a unique farming style. The Assyrtiko vines are trained into little

baskets that both shelter from the winds and collects the mist that blows in from the sea.

The resulting wines are just as unique, firm boned, exotic and delicious even with baby lamb.

Gamay grape. Their ‘brand’ was damaged by the Beaujolais Nouveau craze of the 1980-90s. Real

Beaujolais is now the great hidden value of Burgundy. Jean-Paul Brun above: producer Terres

Dorées, some of the most highly regarded wines in the region.

Monthelie Douhairet was run by the Douhairet family for many years. In 1989, Madame Douhairet asked renowned

winemaker André Porcheret to take charge and added his name to the domaine. One of the great figures in

Burgundy during the past half-century, André was the cellar manager at the Hospices de Beaune from 1976–1988,

before he was hired by Lalou Bize Leroy to make wines at the newly created Domaine Leroy from 1988–1993. He

returned to the Hospices de Beaune from 1994–1999, and since 1989, he has also been overseeing Monthelie

Douhairet Porcheret’s 15 acres,

View of the port of Bordeaux, 1759. The Dutch, Germans, British, Irish

all had important roles in both the shipping and creation of Bordeaux wines. This openness

to international trade helped to make Bordeaux the benchmark wine of the 19th

and 20th

centuries. Today, China’s thirst for Bordeaux, and their willingness to pay,

has pushed the price of the top growths into the stratosphere.

St. Émilion, quite unlike its neighbor the city of Bordeaux, is a typical small southern French town. The wine business here is

characterized more by small farmers than is the case across the river, with its grand châteaus and international shipping houses.

In the famous Bordeaux classification of 1855, St.Émilion was not even included. Today of course, wines like Ausone, Cheval

Blanc, Canon la Gaffelière are valued every bit as highly as the greatest of the Haut-Médoc. The finest wines here have a silken

texture and sensuality that make for more immediate pleasure.

Snowden

Snowden winery is a fifth generation family-

owned Napa winery, in itself a rarity as more

and more US wineries sell out to the big

conglomerates. Rarer still is Diana Snowden

Seysses, wine-maker both at her families

Napa winery and at her husband’s family’s

estate in Burgundy, the renowned Domaine

Dujac. This is an unprecedented vote of

confidence from her father-in-law Jacques

Seysses (pictured above with Diana and his

two sons) one of the most influential and

revered winemakers in France. Along with

David Ramey, another former mentor, Diana

has put Snowden at the forefront of an

impulse to reinvigorate California

winemaking with a more traditional European

approach: less intervention, more natural,

more food-friendly, more complex. Snowden

is very much the future of California wine.

Seghesio ‘Home Ranch’, Sonoma Valley, California

The history of California winemaking in a bottle. Eduardo Seghesio emigrated from Piedmont, Italy to

work for The Italian Swiss Colony winery. In 1895, he built a house and planted his own vineyards. Now

known as “Home Ranch Vineyard”, these vines, which still produce the wine of this name, are an

heirloom clone of Zinfandel found almost nowhere else. An extraordinary California wine.

In the post-war period, a generation of cooks and writers from England and the US came to live

in the inexpensive but supremely bountiful south of France. Welcomed by folks like

Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier, in Bandol, they absorbed a culture of food, wine (and life)

that was threatened by mechanization and commercialism. The Provencal or more broadly,

Mediterranean approach to fresh, seasonal food which they would bring back

to the States, initially to California, would revolutionize the way we eat and drink,

basking in fresh, ripe, bright flavors. Every chef, restaurant and sommelier

in America today is in their debt. The wines of the Rhône share a similar profile to the cuisine

and are a natural accompaniment to much contemporary cooking.

among them. The Soto-Dalmau family bought the property in 1989 and began to reinvigorate

the old vineyards planted with Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. Similar in style to a great

Priorat, they age marvelously, with flavors of fig, anise and melted dark chocolate.

August Vicent of Celler Cecilio. When Priorat was awarded D.O. status, Cecilio was the first

winery registered. This was well before the “discovery” of Priorat by the younger winemakers in

the late 1980s that brought the region prominence. Their L’Espill is an eye-opening experience.

Old School Rioja

Many wine lovers are beginning to rediscover the beauty of traditional Rioja, especially the older

Reservas and Gran Reservas. Gran Reserva requires 24 months aging in barrel and a further

36 months in bottle before release, though many winemakers allow for additional

aging in the bodega. No one is more traditional than Lopez-Heredia,

Lopez-Heredia will not release their wines until they are considered ready,

like the 1981 listed above, a current release. Pecina, Santurnia, La Rioja Alta and

Marqués de Murrieta are also proud practitioners to one degree or another,

of the traditional style. Emphasis is on finesse, delicacy and complexity;

Really no other wines in the world are delivered to you with this much

pampering at a comparable price

Banyuls, a sweet, port-like

fortified wine is made in the

hills behind a small fishing

village on the French

Mediterranean close to the

Spanish border. The village

was a favorite haunt of

painters at the turn of the 20th

century. Matisse, Braque and

Derain were inspired by the

brilliant light of the region to

paint in a new way. Called by

the press Les Fauves, ‘The

Wild Ones” they helped to

create modern painting. It’s

not hard to imagine them

retreating from the heat of the

day into the shade of a little

café with friends, arguing,

eating a bite of cheese and

sipping the local wine.

At Left: View of Banyuls,

André Derain

Madeira

700 km off of the coast of West Africa, Madeira produced the wines that fed the trade routes of the 18th

century. On the long voyages between Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, the American colonies and Britain, it

was discovered that the wines of Madeira, buried deep in the ship’s holds through this long and intense

tropical heat, arrived in Baltimore not just good but better. The Estufagem process was developed to age

the wine in oven-like rooms on the island for long periods, replicating the effects of a sea voyage. Madeira

became the most popular drink of our Founding Fathers. Due to its unique production, Madeira is

practically indestructible. Bottles from the 19th century remain perfectly sound. Most great Madeira is not

sweet. The caramelized, amazingly complex flavors finish quite dry, delicious with cheese or

many savory dishes.

The most complex spirit in the world, Mezcal has been produced mainly in the southern states of Mexico for more than two centuries, most prominently in Oaxaca. Recent archeological evidence points to distillation even before the arrival of the Spanish. The word mezcal or mexcalli in Naualt (one of the indigenous languages of southern

Mexico) translates to oven-cooked agave. Using only ancient practices, this “Elixio of the Gods” is the most labor intensive spirit made anywhere today. The families of the Palenqueros, village producers, will do everything by

hand (or donkey): from harvesting, roasting, grinding, fermentation and finally distillation. Various types of agave are used, Espadia the most common but all take five to fifteen years to reach

the necessary maturity.

Here some examples of this mystical and magical spirit from our friends at Del Maguey. Each of the single villages bottlings are made by a single family noted on the label and come from some of the most remote villages of Oaxaca,

made the same way from generation through generation. And remember sip it don’t shoot it. It’s not tequila.

Stigibeo! Cheers!
