Inniskillin

After a deep sleep for almost 50 years, the Canadian wine industry has experienced a dramatic rebirth over the last two decades. The Niagara Peninsula and Okanagan Valley wines express the styles and flavours of the major grape varietals grown in these regions. From Chardonnays and Rieslings to Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc, Canadian whites have also assumed their rightful place at the global dinner table.

When Inniskillin first won the coveted Grand Prix d'Honneur at Vinexpo in Bordeaux, France for its 1989 Icewine, the seal of international approval for the bounty of Canadian viticulture was guaranteed.

Canada's Niagara Peninsula in Ontario is considered a cool climate viticulture region, like Burgundy, Germany, Oregon and New Zealand. These regions are ideally suited for the growing of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling as well as Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Icewine. Quality Pinot Noir such as Inniskillin's Reserve Pinot Noir is best created under the cool climate conditions the Niagara Peninsula affords, where its elegance and finesse can find proper expression.

Caymus Vineyards

Founded in 1972 by Charles Wagner, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner and their son Charles J. (Chuck) Wagner on the family's Rutherford property. The Wagners took the name Caymus from the Mexican land grant known as Rancho Caymus, given to George Yount in 1836, which included what eventually became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding area. (Caymus was also the name of a subgroup of Mishewal-Wappo Indians whose village was north of what is now the town of Yountville.)

Hawk Crest

Known for fine quality and exceptional value, Hawk Crest wines have been handcrafted in the Napa Valley by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars since 1974. Hawk Crest consistently delivers distinctive, balanced and approachable wines that are ready to enjoy upon release and will continue to improve with age. Hawk Crest is the companion brand or "house wine" of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a private Napa Valley estate that has been owned by the Winiarski family since establishing the winery in 1972 in what is now known as the Stags Leap District. The winery is best known for its three estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignons; CASK 23, S.L.V. and FAY, which is among the most highly, regarded Cabernets in the world.

Lokoya

Lokoya embodies the soul of the mountains and benchlands that flank the Napa Valley. Vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignons from Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Diamond Mountainand the Rutherford Bench express some of Napa Valley's most prestigious vineyards.

Each Lokoya wine is identified with the terroir of its mountain vineyard. Sparse soils, high elevations, good drainage and the cool climates of the mountains and benches form the backbone for intense Cabernet Sauvignon. Their goal is to choose sites, lots, and even rows of vines which will express the terroir and identity of their location through the wine.

Sequoia Grove

Sequoia Grove Vineyards was founded in 1978 by Jim Allen, whose love for European wines inspired him to look for the perfect place, leading him to the Napa Valley. His experience, talents and determination have resulted in elegant, award-winning wines of depth, character and fruit forward balance.

Kendall Jackson

Founder Jess Jackson spent nearly a decade developing his own style for wine before opening Kendall-Jackson winery in 1982. His passion and vision have grown Kendall-Jackson into one of the premier family-owned wineries in California.
From the beginning, Jess abandoned the conventional wisdom of the day, which emphasized making wines from a single vineyard, and sourced premium grapes from vineyards located throughout California's cool coastal regions.

He firmly believed that a wine that emphasized the superior qualities found in each coastal location would be more flavorful and complex than single vineyard designates. The result was an exceptional Chardonnay that had a unique blend of wine grown in Santa Barbara, Monterey, Sonoma and Lake Counties . . . and Vintner’s Reserve was born.

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Founded in 1972, Joseph Phelps Vineyards is an independent, estate-based winery located outside of St. Helena. Perched on a knoll in bucolic Spring Valley, the massive redwood winery overlooks vineyard-studded hills, the town of St. Helena and the Mayacamas Mountains to the west.

La Crema

La Crema was founded in 1979 and quickly established itself as a pioneer for intensely flavored Pinot Noir from the cool Sonoma Coast.

Marimar Torres

Marimar Torres has been involved in the wine business all her life. Prior to directing the self named estate in Sonoma, Marimar traveled extensively promoting Torres wines, first in Spain as the company’s export director and later in North America, when California became her home in 1975. At that time she became the best-known ambassador of Spanish wines in America.

Stonestreet

Stonestreet's Alexander Mountain Estate is located on the Mayacamas Mountain Range above Alexander Valley. Their vineyards with lean, rocky soil and cooler temperatures produce fruit with intense color and flavor. The preservation of this mountain fruit speaks to their handcrafting in vineyard and cellar.

St Francis Winery

Each wine is produced from 100% hand-picked Sonoma County fruit and is a direct expression of our winemaking philosophy of “maximum extraction, minimal intervention."

Santa Digna - Torres

Torres could not be absent in Latin America, most especially in the country of viticulture par excellence. Chile is a viticultural paradise, in part thanks to its location, within the same sort of latitudes as the European viticultural equivalents. Its geography, its soils and its remarkable absence of Phylloxera make it a very sought after location by winemakers the world over.

Calina

Calina wines capture the wealth of character and flavor born in the Chilean terroir. Its most coveted coastal and foothill vineyards form the foundation of the Calina collection of super-premium wines. Calina years ago made the commitment to discovering all the potential in this wine-rich nation, and to finding in every harvest a delightful and robust flavor. Since then, wine lovers have come to expect a singular aroma, depth and complexity with each bottle.
