Brooks is a producer of very highly regarded, limited release wines in Oregon's renowned Willamette Valley. This Riesling is a blend of fruit from their finest source vineyards. This wine is not your typical new world Riesling. It is an initiative to restore the reputation of German Rieslings while showcasing the influence of Willamette Valley terroir. Riesling reveals terroir more than any other white varietal and this one carries through with finesse and elegance.
Domaine Gayda has again captured the creative spirit of the Languedoc in this wine. Viognier is all too often relegated to the work of merely blending to lift the florals of other whites. The Cepage Viognier, however, is a fine expression of the region's marvelous diversity in climate and soils. In the hands of Domain Gayda's talented winemakers, this wine shows its merit as a varietal worthy of any table. A fine example, very well priced.
Chamonix is located in the rich wine-growing region of the Western Cape, tucked away deep in the Franschhoek Valley. Once a part of the historic La Cotte Farm, granted to the Huguenots in 1688. Chamonix is known for internationally acclaimed wines that vary from other South African examples due to the advantage of their altitude variation of 250 to 500 meters above sea level. As a result, each varietal thrives within the optimal microclimate.
Domaine Gayda is a leader in the resurgence of fine wines coming from the Vin de Pays d'Oc region of Southwest France, especially the highly regarded La Liviniere in Minervois.

The winery's philosophy centers on growing the finest fruit and then combining traditional methods with contemporary technologies. Domaine Gayda winemakers put their trust in the vineyards and interfere very little with the vinification process.
