An American wine growing family on an adventure in Bordeaux. Our hope and goal are to make wines that speak of a place, speak of a year; that we want to drink.

Whites are in the tank. Another hot and early vintage. But that also meant everyone was here. No school. No schedules. Just the four of us, the vineyard, and a few days of picking. The kids worked. Mostly. We worked. Mostly. Not a bad way to spend the last weeks of summer. Rouge Clair is next!

Third time’s the charm.

This crazy odyssey has asked a lot of us, but through it all, we’ve tried to stay true to ourselves and to the wines, work, and life we actually want to make. That’s what makes the support of so many friends, colleagues, and fellow travelers mean more than we can say. You’ve stuck with us and cheered us on, regardless of our address.

We’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of what our new home is capable of. This is the beginning… hell, maybe even a bit before the beginning, if I’m being honest. The ships have been burned.

We’re overwhelmed, a little dazed, and deeply grateful.

Thank you to Eric Asimov for seeing our story and sharing it so generously. We’ll keep at it.

This is the old cooperative winery in Francs. It closed years ago. There isn’t another one.

I had a dream that I showed up to the vineyard and all of our fruit was covered in mildew. Such is the life of someone who devotes their life to working through the whims of Mother Nature. Thankfully it was just a dream and it meant I got an earlier start to the day.

Call it fear. Call it preparation. Call it sabotage. Call it preservation. I’ll call it 4:30 a.m.

Chenin, Savagnin meet Francs, Francs meet Chenin and Savagnin. We hope you like your 40 year old roots. Looking forward to what unique things you have to say about our special spot.

Been spending a few weeks at wine events/tastings around France. Before going to the Loire, I heard the same comment more than once: the whole fair “scene” is passé. Played out.

I don’t buy it.

I met dozens of winemakers I’d never crossed paths with. Tasted wines that shifted how I think about regions I thought I knew. Had real conversations, not networking, just people talking about what they’re trying to do and why it matters.

This work is hard enough without retreating into fiefdoms. Once the instinct kicks in to protect turf, dismiss newcomers, or write off the old guard, things start to calcify.

What I saw in the Loire was the opposite. People showing up. Pouring for each other. Being curious. New producers learning from growers who’ve farmed the same parcels for generations. Established names tasting first vintages with genuine interest.

If wine has a future worth participating in, it’s that one.
Not the version where we hide out and decide who’s in and who’s out.

The door should be open.
In both directions.
(As always I forgot to take more pictures)

The weeks go fast in winter. A time for maintenance, both professionally and personally. A time for learning, a time for reconnecting, a time for being outside, the work will soon begin again, so we maximize this time of year. I know I’ve done a good job when I realize how few pictures I took of all those times, living in it rather than documenting it. It’s a shame carpe diem is such a cliche, then again f**k it, carpe diem.
