"Craig MacLean continues to make the best Bordeaux wines not made in Bordeaux. I love the fact that he is sticking to his guns, making wines that are both age-worthy and food friendly. His style doesn't overwhelm, but rather, compliments our cuisine.” -- Patrick Loomis, Wine Director

isn’t limited to where the grapes come from. Winemakers have a provenance, too. Ever hear of the Inner Hebrides? Yeah okay, it’s isn’t France or Italy or Argentina. It’s Scotland. Land of kilts and castles, sheepdogs and single malts. An environment where only the hardy (and hard-headed) thrive. So what’s the connection to wine? Part of it is a respect for the land -- of terroir over technology. Another part is respect for tradition -- a leeriness of fads. But the most important part has to do with honor – not just doing the right thing, but doing the thing right. It’s something everyone we do business with understands. Something we hope to share with you.
