It also calls out the idea that one should be calm and collected in a cellar, while also remaining creatively open to new ideas. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Picpoul Blanc What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Gewurztraminer was the first forgotten grape I tried, made by one of my favorite wineries, Union Sacre. I first experienced this grape varietal at Sans Liege under Xavier Arnaudin during my first harvest. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? I really enjoy experiencing new and different flavor profiles of forgotten grapes.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3" css=".vc_custom_1709930735254{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_single_image image="977" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column width="1/3" css=".vc_custom_1709935356040{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_single_image image="978" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3" css=".vc_custom_1709948960315{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_single_image image="975" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3" css=".vc_custom_1709935378038{padding-right: 0px...

What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Tempranillo What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? First memories include a Pinot Auxerois from an Alsatian producer and Picpoul while I worked at Amagansett Wines & Spirits in 1989. There was an Alicante Bouschet Rosé at Joseph Swan winery in 1992-ish. And in 2008 or 2009, I tried some Loureiro and Louiero blends in Northern Portugal, while visiting wineries near the Galicia border. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes?
