Wilson Daniels Honors Anne-Claude Leflaive: Winemaker, Innovator and Legend
St. Helena, CA — (April 6, 2015) It is with great sadness that we note the passing of our dear friend and associate, Anne-Claude Leflaive, one of the truly great legends of wine. The world has lost a brilliant winemaker, a pioneer for women, a passionate advocate for sustainable growing methods, and the producer of the world’s most sought-after white Burgundy, Domaine Leflaive. In 1990, Anne-Claude became a co-director of Burgundy’s Domaine Leflaive, which had been in her family’s care for generations. In 1993, she took sole responsibilities for the domaine, and within four years she had already converted the...

50 Years of Sparkling History: Schramsberg Vineyards
50 Years of Sparkling History: Schramsberg Vineyards
ST. HELENA, CA (March 30, 2015) — Schramsberg Vineyards, America’s first craft sparkling wine house, celebrates its 50th anniversary throughout 2015. “To look at how far we’ve come since 1965, from those first 200 cases of Blanc de Blancs to where we are now, it’s overwhelming in a great way,” states Hugh Davies, second-generation vintner of Schramsberg Vineyards. “But I have to remember that it didn’t happen overnight. It has taken years of dedication to my parent’s vision and commitment from multiple generations of families, friends and employees to get us to this point. It is a privilege to be...

Presqu’ile: Born On The Wind
Presqu’ile: Born On The Wind
“Back in August of 2005 a wisp of wind blew deep in the Atlantic, forming the foundation of Hurricane Katrina. It was impossible to imagine the profound effects the storm would have on Matt Murphy’s family and a winegrowing region in California’s Santa Maria Valley. But as they say, when a butterfly flaps its wings… “On a recent trip to Santa Barbara, more than one wine aficionado told me that I should go to a winery just off the 101 Freeway near Santa Maria with a weird name, Presqu’ile. Matt Murphy, they said, has built an amazing showcase winery with...

The World’s Most Admired Wine Brands 2015
The World’s Most Admired Wine Brands 2015
“The 50 wine brands featured have all made an appearance in the five lists prior to this one. Royal Tokaji Wine Company came in at number 31 in the top 50. “’It’s a funny one,’ Charlie Mount, Royal Tokaji marketing director says. ‘For a small producer like us, I like to think we are relatively peasant. The fact is, if my team and I could sit down with every potential consumer in the world then we would, but we can’t. Brands help people pick wine off the shelf.’ “Royal Tokaji has a complex history, but it hasn't been smooth sailing...

Wine and Chocolate Pairings for Valentine’s Day
Wine and Chocolate Pairings for Valentine’s Day
"With the arrival of February comes a question as inevitable as long-stem roses, come-hither lingerie and ridiculously bad Valentine’s Day restaurant deals: What wine goes best with chocolate? "...While fortified wines in general may be the best choices for chocolate, I did find one sensational option among unfortified sweet wines: Tokaji Aszu from Hungary. These wines, made with grapes that have been inflicted with botrytis, the famous noble rot, are both fiercely sweet and wonderfully acidic, with flavors of orange and apricot that meld gorgeously with chocolate. "I tried a 2003 5 Puttonyos from Royal Tokaji, which had turned a...

A night of Refreshment
A night of Refreshment
"You never really need an excuse to enjoy a good glass of Chablis, but sometimes nature throws one at you anyway. A few dozen folks conveniently received a pretty hefty reason to imbibe on November 6, when the mercury hit a whopping 90 degrees a few hours before the Domaine Laroche wine dinner at Scott’s restaurant & Bar in Costa Mesa, CA. It could have been easy to fill the air with complaints of unseasonable temperatures and feeling like a roasted Thanksgiving turkey upon arrival to the early evening fete. However, the potential for such discussion dissipated the moment the...
