Wine Country’s Finest Boutique Vineyards: Exclusive offerings from New West KnifeWorks
Since opening our shop in the epicenter of wine country, we’ve made friends with some top, boutique wineries. These small-lot winemakers enjoy something akin to “cult status” among connoisseurs. Access to their small lot , premium wines can often only be found in their tasting rooms and select fine restaurants. Since they are currently closed to the public- we are collaborating to bring some of their limited, world class wines to our customers. You will not find a lot of these special bottles at the liquor store— the only way to get a taste would be to make the trip to Napa Valley or at a fine restaurant, and since that’s not possible right now, we’re bringing a little bit of wine country to your door.
Featured Winery: Canard Vineyard
Canard Vineyard makes wine like we make knives. All of their limited production, hand crafted wines are made from single vineyard, estate grown grapes which are skillfully transformed into the finest expression of each varietal and showcase the unique terroir from which they are grown. Their French trained winemaker straddles a fine line between Old World restraint and the vibrancy of the fruit produced from this historic vineyard in Calistoga. In just the last handful of vintages, they have received over forty ratings of 90 points or above.
Canard Vineyard is offering a limited allocation of their favorites to our customers- a perfect pairing for fine meals made with knife art. Learn more about Canard
