If one had to sum up the history of Les Jamelles wines in a few words, “the fruit of auspicious encounters” would be the natural choice… The history of these wines has been punctuated by several more or less fortuitous encounters that led to the creation of the brand in the early 1990s and to its development over the last two decades.
It was inevitable that Catherine, the daughter of Beaujolais winegrowers, and Laurent, representing the 5th generation of a family of Burgundian negociants, meet at university in 1986 where they were both studying oenology.
Winemaker Catherine Delaunay is passionate about the diversity of wines and vineyards and possessed by a love for the earth and a penchant for well-executed work. She considers her cuvées as moments of pleasure for those who taste them. The harmony between the wine, the context, and the people who share in its enjoyment represents her vision of the perfect accord. www.grapejuicegroup.com

Evodia is produced from Garnacha sourced in the villages of Atea, Acered, and Alarba. Located in the Sierra Santa Cruz, these steep sites (up to 25% grade) have various exposures but share similar soils – slate and quartzite over clay. At an average elevation of 900 meters above sea level, these vineyards are also among the highest sites within the province of Aragon. This unique terroir and the old vines of Garnacha rooted in it are the origins of Evodia. www.europeancellars.com

Our passion at Portlandia is to bring you the best of what Oregon’s Willamette Valley has to offer in both wine and lifestyle. We start with some natural advantages. The cool climate and coastal influences make Oregon’s pinot noir and pinot gris some of the best in the world. But producing good wine in this climate still requires an enormous effort made possible only by a very creative and talented team. We’re very fortunate to have found a partner in Dundee, Oregon that offered us space and a long-term production agreement. We are so grateful for the team and we look forward to bringing you incredible wines for many years to come. www.winehooligans.com
“Brian Terrizzi of Giornata, which focuses on Italian grapes grown in California. This cabernet, from a single vineyard in a cooler, southern part of Paso Robles, is animated by lively acidity and is made in a restrained style that nonetheless is insistently spicy and stony.” - NYT
“Appealingly vibrant and fresh for a CA Chard, especially one from this sun-drenched region. Perfect as an aperitif as well as with crab cakes, clams and even lobster.” - Forbes
Broadside started as a reflection of a place – the stunningly beautiful Margarita Vineyard in southern Paso Robles. The vineyard is special. You can feel the presence of the Pacific Ocean here, both in the sudden chill of the maritime air, and the white, fossilized marine shells that pockmark the limestone soils.
As a testimony to the vineyard’s quality, Robert Mondavi planted the site to Cabernet Sauvignon in the mid-1990s. This was to be his flagship Bordeaux vineyard (outside of his Napa To Kalon Vineyard).
Fast forward 10 years after a corporate buyout of the property, some of the best parcels of Cabernet there were up for grabs. Enter Brian Terrizzi, who, thanks to his friendly connection with the vineyard manager, got in early and literally handpicked the Cabernet blocks that he wanted to work with.
Brian made Broadside’s first vintage of Margarita Vineyard Cabernet in 2006, and today he and his viticulturist partner and wife, Stephy Terrizzi, continue to source their Margarita Cab from the same parcels.
Their approach to wine is consistent in the vineyard and the cellar – to craft wines focused on purity and true varietal expression. This means grapes sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards, and minimalist winemaking (native fermentation, minimal racking, pumping, and
no additions, and neutral oak). And the winery itself is powered by solar
and built from green
products. www.winehooligans.com

We are a family of farmers producing artisanal, boutique liqueurs in very small quantities and following traditional recipes. Our lemon liqueur is made using the best hand picked organically grown “Ovale Sorrentino” PGI lemons, certified by the local” Consorzio”. The lemons are carefully peeled within 24 hours to preserve flavors and infused in small containers with grain alcohol and sugar. The presence of natural lemon oils is a sign of a natural product which has seen no additives, colors, or stabilizers of sort. Enjoy cold, on ice or in your favorite cocktail. www.ellediliquori.com
There are various bittering spices used to create the botanical mix of Bitter Fusetti and none of these have been used by chance, from the classic gentian, rhubarb and cinchona, to the special, quassio. The bitter orange and the chinotto give the product a pinch of acidity. A perfect mix of spices that makes it excellent both in classic drinks such as Americano or Negroni or in reinterpretations such as Negroni del Marinaio with amber Vermouth, coffee liqueur and mezcal and, why not, even smooth simply shaken. www.bottegaalcolica.com
Black Infusions produces naturally-infused premium spirits that are free of artificial sugars, flavors, or colors. The unique versatility of our products complement cocktails in both traditional and modern recipes, and across all occasions.

In 1924, William Monroe Write, a successful entrepreneur and owner of Calumet Baking Powder Company, established a farm in the beautiful Bluegrass pasturelands of Lexington Kentucky. The farm would go on to to win eight (8) Kentucky Derbies and two (2) Triple Crowns. It’s with these high standards that Calumet Farm Bourbon Whiskey embodies the tradition and excellence of Kentucky Bourbon and thoroughbred racing. Bottled from hand-selected barrels, Calumet has a customary mash bill of corn, rye and malted barley that offers a sweet, flawless finish. Glowing with butterscotch and soft oak, Calumet’s harmonious perfection of wood and caramel is admirably balanced with complex flavors of light brown sugar and soft white pepper. www.calumetbourbon.com
Magnus’ story begins all the way back in the young, war-torn America of the middle nineteenth century. His late father had been a merchant, and Magnus took after him to become a savvy businessman. He soon discovered a niche market for wholesale liquors, and by the time he was twenty-six he had painstakingly built up a liquor empire based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Magnus prided himself not only on the quality and age of his spirits, but on intelligent and honorable business methods. Excellent whiskey, he recognized, was more than simply a pleasant experience for the drinker – it was a means of promoting good conversation, close fellowship, and “the interchange of kindly deeds and pleasant thoughts.” Then, nearly a century later, a fortunate discovery was made by one of Magnus’ great-grandsons: a bottle of 122-year-old Murray Hill Club Whiskey, tucked away and seemingly forgotten. The possibility of having an original, unadulterated remnant of Magnus’ famed whiskey was incredibly exciting and also carried a weight of responsibility to do justice to this beautifully aged and preserved bottle. To make sense of this rare find, the family gathered industry veterans to extract a few milliliters from the famed bottle, to taste, test, and reproduce, if possible. These experts were stunned to discover it to be one of the greatest bourbons they had ever tasted.
Today, using the same blending and finishing techniques Joseph Magnus employed over 100 years ago, Magnus Master Blender, Nancy Fraley, finishes 12-year-old bourbon in a triple cask finishing process using Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez, and Cognac casks. The result is that we have come as close as possible to the original Joseph Magnus Bourbon in that 122-year-old bottle. www.josephmagnus.com
Fox & Oden was founded by a new generation of makers to honor and preserve the masterful legacy of pre-prohibition whiskey blending and finishing. It is a nod to Joseph A. Magnus, a Gilded Age distiller who spent his time, fortune, and most treasured days Up North in Oden, Michigan, and whose notable blending and finishing techniques are used by our distillers today. Famed for its rich and rugged terrain — where ambitious, native foxes prevail in the wild — our home state of Michigan is an important part of who we are. When we’re not crafting ultra-premium whiskies, you can find us hunting, fishing, boating, and enjoying a dram beside a campfire – with family and friends and away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. www.foxandoden.com

We’ve been making wine in Sonoma County for over a decade and along the way, we’ve established a dynamic network of friends and colleagues that include vineyard owners, growers and winemakers. Thanks to those forged relationships and friendships, we have gained exclusive access to grapes from fantastic vineyards and the team to oversee hands-on production from vineyard to bottle.
In 2014, Valravn was launched with a Zinfandel, crafted from the fruit from a friend’s vineyard that was not going into their own production. It was not just any Zin – these were old, gnarly bush-pruned vines that we had always envied from afar. Valravn has grown as we continue to seek out similar opportunities, finding a unique parcel here and a special row there, then putting it all together to craft distinctive and affordable Sonoma County wines that are out-of-the-gate approachable, delicious and table ready. www.valravnwine.com

At the foot of snowcapped mountains, in the Awatere Valley of New Zealand, grow the grapes of the Tohu Winery, the world’s first Maori-owned wine company. Launched in 1998, by the indigenous people of Aotearoa, the company is committed to the tradition of kaitiakitanga, or guardianship of the region’s natural resources. This belief drives all production.
The Awatere Valley, where the vineyard is situated, is cooler, drier and windier than the rest of the Marlborough district where most vineyards lie. This causes Tohu grapes to ripen more slowly, resulting in intensely flavorful wines. This sub-climate has been very rewarding for Tohu. The company has earned high praise for its Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Méthode Traditionelle. Prepare yourself for the robust flavors produced by this award-winning Maori winemaker. www.tohuwines.co.nz
Parducci Small Lot Blend wines are made with an artisanal winemaking approach usually associated with very small production and represent a level of both value and quality not typically found at these prices. The fruit for each Parducci Small Lot Blend varietal is sourced from distinct vineyard parcels in and around Mendocino County, each with its own microclimate and soil composition. Each lot is individually vinified and cellared to develop its own unique body and flavor profiles. After careful gauging of each lot’s characteristics, Bob Swain, head winemaker, determines the final blend to achieve the right balance of flavor and texture. www.parducci.com
Founded in 2006 with a vision for creating wines with a distinct sense of place, Paul Dolan Vineyards is located in the heart of Mendocino County, Northern California, a secluded land of rich biological diversity and unique microclimates. All of our grapes are sourced from organic vineyards, preserving the essence of each vineyard site. Our holistic winemaking practices further support each bottling’s expression of terroir for wine of unforgettable character. www.mendocinowineco.com
Frankie Williams grew up in New London, Connecticut and after a brief stint with the CIA, she arrived in San Francisco in 1972, where she met her future husband, Todd Williams. In 1994 Todd founded Toad Hollow Vineyards in Sonoma County. His mission was to produce delicious and accessible wines and have fun while doing it. Frankie worked alongside Todd starting in 1997. After his passing in 2007, she assumed all executive and operational responsibilities for the winery. www.toadhollow.com
At Santa Maria la Palma, there are no counts, barons or marquises. Instead, there are numerous families of humble winemakers. Fifty years ago, these winemakers were allocated a series of uncultivated plots near the city of Alghero. Rather than a silver spoon, they had strong arms, straight backs, passion and commitment. Together, they tilled the soil and planted the vines. Working side by side, they harvested the grapes and built a cellar complex. These plots were ideal for vines, with great soil, plenty of sun and the sea nearby. They chose the grape types they wanted to grow, combining some well-known names with some lesser-known jewels. Today, 326 growers contribute to the winery. We are the children and grandchildren of those who first tilled those clods of earth, with their own hands, many years ago. Nobility is to be found in hard work and in the fruits of that labor. For this reason, our nobility is in the wines we make. www.santamarialapalma.it
Burgans is a custom cuvée made for European Cellars by Martin Codax, the largest cooperative in Rías-Baixas. Founded in 1986 by about 50 families with small plots of Albariño around the village of Cambados under the guidance of Luciano Amoedo, a ninth generation grape grower in Rias Baixas, it has grown over the last three decades to include almost 600 families and well over 3000 small parcels of Albariño. All the vineyards are located in the Salnes sub-zone of the appellation – the coolest and most humid of the regions within Rias-Baixas.
In the cellar the wines are fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and bracing acidity that is typical of Albariño grown in the Val do Salnes. Each vintage several experimental fermentations are conducted to understand the minor variations of site, the role of natural yeasts, the length of elevage and the applicability of different fermentation vessels. All of these experiments are used to improve the quality of the wines with each successive vintage. www.europeancellars.com
For 30 years Mulderbosch Vineyards has been recognized for crafting innovative and extraordinary wines that reflect the passion and creativity of the people behind the brand. During this time we have consistently received critical acclaim and we continue to push the frontiers of winemaking and viticulture in order to satisfy our loyal supporters from across the globe.
When Mulderbosch founder, Larry Jacobs, bought the farm in 1989 the community referred to the property as “vuilplasie”, Afrikaans for “dirty little farm”. Shortly after, he partnered with Mike Dobrovic, known as the South African Mr Sauvignon Blanc, and together they cleaned up the property and planted the first vineyards. A (small) cellar was later built and the first set of wines were released: Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The dream was to produce wine, but certainly not just any wine; they had to consistently reflect innovation, creativity and excellence. www.mulderbosch.co.za
Le Paradou is a project created by Alexandre and Frédéric Chaudière whose family produce some of the most respected wines in the Ventoux at Château Pesquié. It is reasonable to think “Paradou” means “Paradise” in the old language of the langue d’Oc, as it is magical to live in the south of France. Yet, “Paradou” actually refers to the old watermills that once dotted the landscape. In homage to these majestic giants, once commonplace throughout Provence and the Southern Rhône, the Chaudière brothers have created these fresh and pleasing wines made to capture the essence of their birthplace. They source their grapes for these cuvées from some of their younger vines in the Ventoux and through a small network of growers off the beaten track in the rugged regions to the east and west of the Rhône Valley. The vines, ranging in age from 10 to 60 years old, and are cultivated following the laws of Terra Vitis, an organization that ensures that properties respect the environment by stressing the benefits of integrated farming.
The Paradou vineyards are at higher elevations and planted on poor clay-limestone or sandy soils. This guarantees the freshest and most drinkable wines possible. The varietal range is comprised of Viognier, Cinsault (both Rosé & Rouge) and Grenache Noir. They feel that these are the signature varieties grown in the rugged region between the Rhône Valley and the Côte d’Azur. They prefer sites that are sheltered and avoid vineyards that face fully south. Winemaking is simple, uncomplicated, and conducted in stainless steel tanks or concrete vats to preserve these wines’ aromatic charms and crunchy fruit flavors. If you’ve ever had the pleasure to travel to Provence in summer, sit outside at a patio restaurant and enjoy the local food and wine, then you know exactly what Fred and Alex aim to achieve with Le Paradou. www.europeancellars.com
While his family has been growing grapes and making wine in the Roussillon since 1791, it was Jean-Marc Lafage’s early insight into the potential for the Roussillon to make a wide range of dry wines at very affordable prices that established his “new” estate. While his grandfather and father made wine for the family, Jean-Marc was the first to break away from the cooperative model to make his own wine commercially. Over the generations, his family had amassed scattered vineyards throughout the region, which now totals over 160 hectares of vines, most of them in excess of 50 years in age.
Squeezed between the far southern edge of the limestone Corbières Massif to the north and the granitic Pyrenees mountains in the south, the Roussillon is an undulating terrain of complex soil types, orientations, and exposures. Within its borders of the Roussillon, Jean-Marc has identified six principal sub-zones in the appellation. This range of sites allows Jean-Marc Lafage to make both refreshing whites and rosés and concentrated reds and, this being the Roussillon, some fortified wines as well. Benefiting from a warm, dry climate, the estate is farmed organically. They grow Grenache (Blanc, Gris & Noir), Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Chardonnay primarily. Harvesting is manual and lasts over several months due to the variations in conditions in each sub-zone they farm. The winemaking is surprisingly uncomplicated with stainless steel for the fresher whites but mostly concrete tanks for the rest with a small number of French oak demi-muids. www.europeancellars.com
The Chaudière family has been part of the European Cellars portfolio since our founding in 1990 when the Rhône Valley wasn’t really on anyone’s radar, let alone the then backwaters of the region such as Ventoux, how things have changed! Paul and Edith have turned things over to their sons Alex and Fred, and the Ventoux is no longer viewed as an insignificant satellite of the Rhône Valley but an important appellation in its own right. It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the geography of the southern Rhône that the soils in the shadow of Mt. Ventoux are rich in limestone, or that these vineyards are located at a higher elevation than in the neighboring Rhône Valley, or that older vines produce more concentrated and complex fruit. At Château Pesquié, all of these conditions combine to create wines that are rich in fruit with remarkable balance and purity.All of these elements: good terroir, older vines, organic farming, and hand harvesting ensure that only the best grapes reach the cellar. Once there, Alexander oversees the winemaking utilizing stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Aging takes place in tank, concrete, or barrel depending on variety, and the final blends are carefully made to capture the essence of each cuvée: Terrasses is forward and engaging, Quintessence is concentrated and age-worthy while Artemia is only made in top vintages and represents the best the estate can offer. www.europeancellars.com
• OREGON PIONEER
In 1986, at a time when very few people really cared about Pinot Noir or knew where to grow it, founder Ken Wright planted his artisan winemaker flag deep in the ancient volcanic and alluvial soils of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Panther Creek quickly established a reputation for making singlevineyard wines and signature blends.
• MAPPING THE TERROIR OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY
Panther Creek played a seminal role in establishing six landmark sub-appellations in Willamette Valley. Today, these AVAs (Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge and Yamhill-Carlton) define a style of Oregon Pinot Noir that expresses region of origin and specific site.
• PARTNERSHIPS WITH OREGON’S NOTED VINEYARDS
With Pinot Noir, where you grow the grape is pretty much everything. All year long, we hike the neighborhood, kick the dirt and collaborate with growers who appreciate Panther Creek wines that are always 100% Pinot Noir and capture the uniqueness of their vineyard.
• BACK TO THE FUTURE
Thirty years later, Panther Creek’s iconic black label is instantly recognizable and reinforces the visionary history of the winery. Ken Wright has handed-off his winemaking baton to renowned winemaker, Tony Rynders, who is still discovering new vineyards to produce wines that express purity of fruit, complexity and place of origin, carefully nurturing and evolving the Panther Creek legacy. www.vintagepoint.com

Finca El Origen was established by the Larraín family, owners of Carolina Wine Brands, in 2003 – marking the first investment of a Chilean wine producer into Argentina. Finca El Origen pioneered the planting of vines in Vista Flores, one of the highest altitude areas of Mendoza’s Uco Valley, situated in the foothills of the Andes at elevations of 1000 - 1200 meters (3300 - 3900 ft) above sea level. Here the nights are very cold and the sunlight during the day is quite intense, resulting in grapes with thick skins which produce wines that are rich in tannin and flavor. Our mission is to translate nature’s messages into authentic mountain wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their place of origin. Mendoza is a high desert (less than 8 inches of rainfall per year) without any ocean influence. The dry climate and poor, rocky soils result in naturally low yields, as the vines produce small, concentrated grape clusters. The warm, dry breezes of spring and summer make it very easy to farm sustainably. Vineyards are naturally healthy as pests and diseases have fewer chances to survive. Cover crops help to retain fertile nutrients. The ammonite shell in Finca el Origen’s logo is a tribute to the winery’s unique terroir. Millions of years ago, some parts of the Andes mountain range were submerged under the sea, making the fossils found in our vineyards silent witnesses of the formation of the Andes mountain range and, now, of our wines. www.carolinawinebrandsusa.com www.fincaelorigen.com
One of Chile’s most historic wineries, Santa Carolina was established in 1875 by Luis Pereira, who named the winery in honor of his wife, Carolina. Based in Santiago, it has been owned and stewarded by the Larrain family since 1974. Today, Santa Carolina has a strong global presence and owns more than 2,000 hectares of vineyards. The pillars of Viña Santa Carolina’s winemaking philosophy are continuous improvement of the quality of our wines and development and use of innovative production techniques at vineyard and winery levels. Our mission is to produce wines of superior quality, with a focus on innovation and long term sustainability.
Numerous accolades include being named the Wine Enthusiast “New World Winery of the Year” in 2015 and being ranked #12 by Wine Intelligence for World’s Most Powerful Wine Brands in 2020. www.carolinawinebrandsusa.com www.santacarolina.cl
