of the world’s finest restaurants and hotels, including the
Peninsula Beverly Hills, Four Seasons- Chicago, stretching from

 Gemstone
Vineyard - What began many years ago as a casual interest
escalated into a passionate search for a place to make a very unique
wine. When we found our tiny jewel-like vineyard nestled between
rolling knolls in Napa Valley, Gemstone seemed the perfect name.
This rocky slope yields only a minuscule crop of intensely flavored
small berries, but after years of hard work and worry, when we finally
put the first wine to our lips, you couldn't have chiseled the grins
from our faces! Best of all, we knew it expressed the unique personality
we sought.

 Hopper
Creek Winery - Hopper Creek Vineyard is located at
6204 Washington Street in Napa, about one mile south of the center
of Yountville and bordering on the Hopper creek, in the heart of
the Napa Valley. Six acres of the property are planted to Merlot
and Cabernet Sauvignon. There is also a fully equipped winery, capable
of producing about 20,000 gallons of wine per year – about
8000 cases. As the vineyard only produces about 24 tons of grapes
per year - a yield of just four tons per acre – we purchase
grapes from other super premium vintners in the area in order to
be able to offer a balanced inventory to our customers.

 Jessup
Cellars - We are committed to making the best ultra
premium handcrafted wines using traditional old world methodologies
with some of the most state of the art equipment. For example, we
gravity rack our wines without the use of pumps and we do not use
any filtration in our finished product. This allows us to move the
wine from tank to barrel to bottle without stripping any of the
flavor components. We don't "over make" the wine. We let
each variety and component speak from land from which it was grown.
All of our wines are pesticide free, dry framed and hand picked
and sorted which gives us lower yields, higher quality grapes, with
intense flavors.

 Morningside
Vineyard is carefully managed to produce high quality
grapes required to produce a premium wine. The low, 2.3-ton per
acre yield is achieved by careful pruning coupled with the natural
tendancy of a rocky hillside vineyard to produce low yields. The
vineyard is carefully monitored to insure that each hand-harvested
cluster is at optimum maturity. Morningside Vineyard fruit has a
characteristic cherry-plum aroma, typical of the great Cabernet
growing region of Napa Valley.

 Dominus
Estate - Our philosophy is very traditional—that
is, in order to produce great wine we need the best possible grapes.
Therefore, we concentrate our efforts in the vineyard. The vines
are meticulously manicured—we believe in crop-thinning, "nettoyage,"
washing the grapes, and other labor-intensive activities. During
each visit to California, Christian Moueix spends most of his time
in the vineyard, not only because he loves it, but also to better
understand the natural expression of the vintage.

 Havens
Wine Cellars, located in Napa Valley, California, produces

Sinskey Vineyards
- The vineyards are the soul of the winery. They define the style
of the wine. All grapes used to make RSV wines are from vines planted
by RSV. "It is only by knowing your vineyards that you can
excel in the craft of making elegant wines," says RSV winemaker
Jeff Virnig. "My job is to interpret the inherent characteristics
of each individual vineyard and allow them to express their uniqueness
instead of imposing a style on them. It is very much an Old World
approach that the French would describe as being true to terroir."

Parador
Cellars - As the vintages of Parador progress, there
is a refinement of the resulting wines and the philosophy behind

generations. Small lots of each special vineyard site are bottled
to show the quality distinction of the fruit.

Vineyard Services (NcVs). The Nord Family has been involved in the
Napa Valley vineyard industry since the 1960's.
