We'll do our best to be the one-stop-shop for stories about winemakers, technical information concerning their wines, and photos/content for all your evangelical and commercial needs.
Dear Everyone,
Yes, we've taken our time with things internet, but after a weird year we've finally put together a website where you can find almost most of the information you need about our wines! YAY! This comes in very special thanks to our dear friend, French tutor and collaborator, Zoë Kiefl who did all the work and had all the ideas (pictured above).
In other news, we have a couple of wines from Vincent Wallard on offer today. Vince (as he's referred to by friends) is a man after my own heart. He likes to have fun. He wants to make you laugh. He likes wine both because you can drink it and because it is fun to make -- and important (to make)! Especially the way Vince likes it made. After 6 years in Argentina working on a project called Quatro Manos, sharing insights and sensibilities naturel, Vince came back to France. This is 2014, otherwise known as the greatest Loire vintage in a young person's memory. Vince, of course, is in the Loire Valley, in Chouzé-Sur-Loire, buying grapes from winemakers interested in the restoration of healthy soil and the cultivation of good fruit - all the things we like. Here are two wines from way back then and almost way back then:
