"Maison Louis Jadot 
" +
" Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, is one of the most important négociants to consider when purchasing the wines of Burgundy. The firm produces an amazing number of cuvees each year, which range from generic Bourgogne as well as Beaujolais, right up to top of the class examples from a number of Grand Cru vineyards including Bonnes Mares, Clos de Bèze and Chapelle-Chambertin, to name just three. The firm is particularly strong on the Côte de Nuits as opposed to the Côte de Beaune, following the purchase of the Clair-Daü domaine in 1986. "+
" Jadot has been run for several decades by the Gagey family, with financial backing from the American Kopf family (owners of the Kobrand distribution business) since the 1980s. At the helm was André Gagey, who has now yielded control to his son Pierre-Henry. The support of the Kopf family has been very significant, providing the necessary funds for updating and improving equipment, whilst not interfering with the directions of cellar-master Jacques Lardière, who blends and finishes dozens of different cuvées every year.

" WineMaker Pierre-Henry Gagey 
"+
" | | "+
" Pierre-Henry Gagey joined Louis Jadot in 1985. His studies and professional life were completely outside of the wine business. In fact, it brought Pierre-Henry great advantages and allowed him to develop a vision very different from the world of wine and a more open-minded spirit. "+
" His father, who managed Louis Jadot since 1962 taught him almost everything about wine. Pierre-Henry played an essential role in the life of Louis Jadot because the spirit of Louis Jadot's house was created around him and nowadays the same spirit still prevails. "+
" From there, Pierre-Henry runs Jadot with a team of 70 people, without his lead Maison Jadot would not have had the success it enjoys today. "+

" The Louis Jadot Chablis has a very nice golden yellow color. It is a lipid, bright and fresh wine, which taste and bouquet develop relatively quickly.
It should be served chilled, and can be served with oysters, charcuterie and fried fish. It also goes very well with goats cheese. "+

This Beaujolais Villages \"Combe aux Jacques\" must be drunk quite cool in order to protect the delicious aromas of fruit and the delicate freshness that characterize this wine.
Ideal with delicatessen and Italian foods. "+

" Beringer Vineyards is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley. In 2001, the estate was placed on the National Register for Historic Places as a Historic District. With the present use of state-of-the-art technology applied to age-old traditions, Beringer Vineyards' wines continue to reflect a single-minded dedication to the making of memorable wines from great Napa Valley vineyards. "+
" The volcanic soil was ideal for growing the same grapes found in Europe's great winemaking regions. Best of all, the hills could be dug out to provide storage and aging tunnels that would maintain the constant temperature needed to produce fine wines. "+
" Beringer's focus on excellence is illustrated in its commitment to sustainable practices , and theirs wines express this attention to the environment. There are a total of 14 vineyards and at each Beringer vineyard, with its own distinctive soil, climate and terrain, lends itself to particular grape varietals. These vineyards have become recognized as the primary sources of Beringer wines. ";

WineMaker

" Grew up in Sacramento, California, she never dreamed of becoming a winemaker. Laurie transferred to the winemaking program at the University of California at Davis, training ground for noted winemakers in California and around the world. After graduation in 1984, she traveled to Australia to work in a small Melbourne-area winery for six months. "+
" In 1986, Laurie came to Beringer as an enologist, a job that allowed her to solidify the scientific side of her training. In 1997, she was named Assistant Winemaker to Winemaster Ed Sbragia, and in 2000 was promoted to Winemaker for Beringer Vineyards. "+

" Laurie is a member of the American Society of Viticulture and Enology, the Trellis Alliance, and the Napa Valley Wine Technical Group. Outside of the winery, Laurie has a myriad of interests and hobbies revolving around travel, gardening, the study of history, collecting antique and regional cookbooks and funny quotes about wine.

"Yering Station 
" +
" Yering Station is a premium winery in the heart of the Yarra Valley, one hour east of Melbourne. Established in 1838 as the first vineyard in Victoria, Yering Station is now one of the most exciting family-owned developments in the wine industry. In 2004, Yering Station has won the highly coveted International Wine and Spirit Competition Winemaker of the Year award, announced at London's Guildhall late on Wednesday 27 October, 2004. "+
" Yering Station marks the beginning of winemaking in Victoria and was the first vineyard planted in Australia, a landmark in the history and development of the wine industry in Victoria. In 1837, the Ryrie brothers travelled overland from Monaro in New South Wales with a herd of cattle. They took up a grazing licence of 43,000 acres, an area stretching from Woori Yallock Creek to Olinda Creek, bordered by the Yarra River on the North. They called the property Yering, its Aboriginal name. "+
" In August 1838, they planted their first vines. There were two varieties, black cluster of Hamburg and a white grape called Sweetwater. The first wine was made at Yering in 1845. ";

"
William (Willy) Lunn has more than 24 years’ extensive and intimate cool climate winemaking experience both in Australia and overseas. He has very recently, in July 2008, taken over the Chief Winemaking position at Yering Station, overseeing all of the Yering family of wines including the highly regarded Yarrabank Sparkling. "+
" He grew up in a small farming community in rural South Australia and has always had a great affinity with the land. This has led him to develop a passion for regionality and making wines that are always the truest expression of place. "+
" | "+
" His introduction to winemaking was straight out of high school, working at Petaluma under the watchful eye of Brian Croser. Beginning as a cellar hand in 1984, he rapidly progressed to a senior winemaking position. His attention to detail and focus on quality during his 15 years at Petaluma forged the “no compromise for quality” philosophy that continues to guide him today. "+
" A love of travel led him around Australia and beyond, and in 1988 he landed at Argyle winery in the Willamette Valley (Oregon US.) where he joined friend and mentor, Rollin Soles. Together, they started making cool climate sparkling wines that were later destined for the White House. It was at Argyle in those early days that his love of cool climate viticulture and ultra premium winemaking came to fruition. The friendship lasted twenty years and would bring him back to Argyle to run their winemaking in 2003. "+
