Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon

In 1972, while shooting photographs for Nathan Chroman’s “Treasury of American Wines”, Jack and Dolores Cakebread casually offer to buy the Sturdivant Ranch in Rutherford.  The Sturdivant’s took them up on their offer and so began the Cakebread wine story.  The winery is a leader in innovative farming techniques and new methods of reaching out to consumers. Dedication to making the highest quality wines and a commitment to family has followed a continuum as their first small vineyard has grown into a thriving internationally distributed wine company.

Whispering Angel Rose

Located on elevated land near Gorges de Pennafort, 25 km northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus on the Mediterranean coast, the first traces of the Château’s site date back to times when Gauls (Celtic people of mainland Europe in the Iron Age and the Roman period) used the elevated land as a lookout point, to spot intruders coming by boat into the Gulf of Frejus. 

Spearheaded by Sacha Lichine, son of famous Alexis Lichine (wine lover, importer, Bordeaux château owner, educator, and salesman), he’s been involved in just about every aspect of the wine business, from work in the vineyards to the sale of the final product. He started his wine journey by working at his family properties Château Prieuré Lichinne and Château Lascombes during the summers of his youth and soon found himself leading American tourists on guided trips through Europe, visiting the finest restaurants and wineries in the process. From there, he dabbled in many different importing endeavours involving wines from all over France but most notably, Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Nothing compares to his acquisition of Château d’Esclans in Provence back in 2006; Sacha’s ambitious efforts to develop more seriously produced Rosé has paid of with a successful range of wines that include: Whispering Angel, Garrus, and The Palm. In 2019, Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessy (LVMH) purchased a 55% stake in the company with Sacha retaining 45%, establishing a new partnership.

Estandon Brise Marine Rosé

Legend has it that Phoenician ships, carried on a steady sea breeze (“brise marine”), landed on the Mediterranean coast in the 6th century BC. They brought with them the knowledge of vine growing and winemaking. To celebrate the legend, the Estandon winemakers have created this “Brise Marine” vin de pays and invite you to taste the fruit of their region’s history.

Grosjean Petite Arvine

The Grosjean family traces its roots back to the village of Fornet in the high mountain passes of the Valle d’Aosta, Italy’s smallest wine region.  During the summer months, the family cultivated grapes and chestnuts on the slopes at lower altitude, stocking up on wine to supply themselves over the long winters. In 1969, Dauphin Grosjean, the father of the five sons that now collaborate to produce the wines of this estate, was encouraged to present his wine at the local “wine expo” and the exceptional quality of his work was recognized.  The family then expanded their vineyards and production.    

The estate has now grown to encompass seven hectares of vineyards. The domaine is located in the hamlet of Ollignan on the border of the towns of Quart and Saint Christophe and includes “cru” vineyard sites.  After starting out with the traditional Petit Rouge along with some Gamay, Pinot Noir and Petite Arvine, the Grosjeans have planted other local varietals such as Fumin, Cornalin, Premetta and Vuillermin. Sustainable farming techniques have been in place since 1975: only organic fertilizers are applied and no pesticides or herbicides are used. Natural yeasts are utilized for fermentation.

Erdinger - Weissbier

Founded in 1886, the Erdinger Brewery – dedicated to the brewing of wheat beer and wheat beer only – resides in the quaint Bavarian town of Erding, 30 minutes northeast of Munich. Erdinger Weissbier pioneered the awareness and consumption of wheat beer outside of the Bavarian region where it has its roots, remaining in strict compliance with the Bavarian purity law and secondary fermentation that have history and tradition in the region. Erdinger Weissbeer continues to be the world’s largest producer of wheat beer, and one of the last remaining privately owned breweries, still owned and operated by the Brombach family today.

Campari

Surprisingly, Campari actually pre-dates the unification of Italy as a nation. Gaspare Campari created the secret formula in 1860 in Novara, Italy, and it has remained a mystery since. Campari’s first production facility was opened in 1904 and under the leadership of Gaspare’s son, Davide, Campari spread throughout Europe and the wider world. Campari has become a juggernaut in the drinks business and is sold in over 190 countries and has become an essential cocktail ingredient. Its vibrant red hue is iconic in the beverage industry and was originally coloured with carmine dye made from crushed cochineal insects but was coverted to artificial colouring in 2006.
