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?

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?

With a focus on the crafting of small lots, Vigo Cellars utilizes new world winemaking techniques as well as time honored, old-world methods to express each vineyard’s terroir, while highlighting the varietal’s characteristics. Named “Vigo” as a tribute to the Rodrigues family heritage, the brand embodies the spirit of adventure.  With a journey that began in the Galicia region of northwest Spain, and included travels to Argentina, the Hawaiian Islands, and San Francisco, California, the Rodrigues family settled in the San Joaquin Valley in the late-1930’s, farming vineyards and almonds.  Three generations later, we are continuing this quest with Vigo Cellars – artisan crafted wines...

Before his final year, he worked at a sparkling winery in Carneros, where he decided he would spend his career doing what he did for his summer vacation. Upon completion of his degree, he was invited back to see “the other side of things.” Feeling he needed a change of perspective, Paul traveled to Australia, where he lived and worked for six months. With the change in varietals, climate, and overall attitude to winemaking, Paul discovered a different approach to the craft he studied and trained in for so long. Desiring to seek outside perspectives to winemaking, when Paul returned to California, he worked at Chateau Potelle, back when it was owned by both Jean-Noel and Marketta Fourmeaux and sat atop Mount Veeder. It was here Paul integrated his schooling, his experience from Australia, along with what he learned from...

What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Cinsault What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Visiting many of the amazing wineries in and around the Santa Ynez Valley, the undiscovered grapes are abundant. One of the first we can remember is the variety of Italian varieties at Palmina Wines. Learning about Dolcetto, Vermentino and other Italian grapes being grown in the region was eye-opening. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? Undiscovered grapes are so expressive of place and time. It is so much fun to discover new grapes and figure out where they do well and how they compare across the world.
