Sonoma County’s Powerhouse

Williams Selyem

Ed Selyem and Burt Williams pursued their winemaking dream in a garage in Forestville, California. Their first vintage was produced in 1982 and within five years, their demand exceeded supply and a wait list was created. Selyem fans had to wait, at times, up to three years to purchase one of these delectable bottles! They quickly gained cult status and set a new standard for Pinot Noir.

Jewel of St. Emilion

Gracia

Located on a 4.4-acre parcel that produces nearly 550 cases of wine in a good vintage, Gracia wines are known for being lush and concentrated, and have been continuously well-received in the industry. Because of their extremely low yields, the wines of Chateau Gracia require attention to detail and great effort during winemaking, but the final product is considered a masterpiece.

The Best of the Region

First Growth Bordeaux

The 1855 Classification of Bordeaux decreed four properties on the left bank of the Garonne River were the very best of the region: Haut Brion, Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Margaux. Mouton Rothschild was later promoted from Second to First Growth status. Over a century later, all five of these legendary properties are still considered to be the best that Bordeaux has to offer.

Featured Producer

Guado al Tasso

For 26 generations, the Antinori family has been producing exquisite juice beginning in 1385, when Giovani di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Guild of Vintners. The family name did not become globally known until Piero Antinori began a new winemaking style in the 1970s. Piero decided to ignore traditional classification and highlight the versatility of Sangiovese. Today, the Super Tuscan movement is known for producing some of the highest quality wines in the world!
