I was lucky enough to grow up in France and have fond memories of the vineyards in my native region, Alsace. I visited Burgundy, the Rhone, and the Loire areas a lot too. I also enjoyed Westport Wineries when I lived in Massachusetts.
Silve Oak Cab, Dry Creek Old Vines Zinfandel, Franciscan Magnificat, Mt. Veeder Cab, Domaine Chandon Pinot Nois, Des Voignes Cellar's Untitled and many more that were so good, I can't remember the name, if you know what I mean.
