Champagne Henriot’s Chef de Cave on Sustainability & Making Great Wine

Take our current situation. SIP (shelter in place) has its merits. It gives you time to explore the things you’ve not explored.
To consider projects, you didn’t have time to finish and to shop for items you might need.
In my case, we were planning a full-on kitchen remodel, and the current business cycle made us shift our priorities. The priorities became, work with what you have, and instead of dropping five figures on something that you’d really like, drop three on something that can add convenience, style, and functionality. Not an easy task to achieve once you’ve had your sights set on a significant renovation.
We spent a tremendous amount of time getting our riverfront backyard summer proofed with furniture, landscaping, and plants. The un-ending trimming and refining of our 40-year-old always blooming lemon tree, but something was missing. We were forever running into the kitchen, the cellar, or out to the garage to get the cooler so we could have cold drinks, beer, and of course, temperature-controlled wine.
The solution? The addition of New Air’s latest foray into indoor-outdoor refrigeration. It’s sleek. Well designed and a great addition to our outdoor repertoire. It also slides on coasters so you can use it as a built-in or move it around as the entertaining need suits you.
What’s better than that? Two drawers. One specifically for wine with stunning Beachwood drawers, because good wine deserves to be in the lap of luxury. The wine drawers roll out easily on their own. No back-breaking efforts on your knees while hunting for bottles. It also comes with lighting, a dual-zone refrigeration selection, and baskets for the food going on the grill.
Perfect for entertaining. Two refrigeration zones give you flexibility. You maintain the ideal temperature for your wine. And cooler temps for perishables, like cheese platters, BBQ meat, and soft drinks.
No more running to the kitchen to gather a dish, a bottle, or a soda. It’s all within arms reach now.

Barodlino has a rich history in both wine and culture. There is no better Rosé that takes the beauty of the region and expresses it than Chiaretto Rosé.
Could it be that this region, today known as the Fastest Growing Wine Region in the United States is the world’s next Napa Valley? This is Idaho Wine Country.
With every sip, a symphony unfolds,
a harmonious blend of fruit, oak, and spice, a sensory experience that enthralls,
a moment of bliss that`s hard to replicate.

A new venture. A serious launch. And the presentation of a beautiful brand. Consulting winemaker Maayan Koschitsky`s masterful fingerprint in every bottle. Koschitzky’s experience in Napa Valley began at Screaming Eagle and culminated into Director of Winemaking at Atelier Melka. There he creates Napa Valley’s most memorable wines.
The Simon Family began their wine journey in the 1980s and took it across Europe and into South America. These experiences gave them the vision and fortitude to realize this dream. Of family, creating wine they love. Their collective passion for wine and the process culminated into a meeting with Koschitzky and a collaboration bringing two families together.

2021 The Tigress Rosé, A delicate Rosé of Grenache, is a beautifully poised, refreshing low-alcohol beauty you can sip for days.
2019 Golden Ore, A bright and layered beauty of Sauvignon Blanc with notes of citrus, white flowers, and sapidity. Delicious.
2019 Double Blessings: Two very different Cabernets influenced by the Simon’s very different twins. Each a match made in heaven. The Sword: Robust and powerful, the second, The Key more floral and brooding. Each is delicious in its own right.
2019 Simon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Distinctly lovely. Multi-dimensional and affordable, made to drink now or you can hold. Lovely crushed dark fruit, rich and brooding with spice notes.
2019 Simon Reserve: Swoon-worthy. I couldn’t get enough of this stellar Cabernet Sauvignon. Textural, ethereal action on all fronts of the palate. Complex structure. Incredibly memorable.
The pairings were outstanding. From the wagyu beef to the pea soup with feta and the pasta with black truffle. Each setting the tone for the experience.
This is a wine brand to buy. Not “to watch”. If you watch you’ll miss out on these incredible wines. They are already reaching the stars.
