Give Thanks

We try to make saying “thank you” a daily ritual. There are so many hands that bring a Sandhi bottle to your glass and so many dear friends and colleagues who tell the story of Sandhi all year long. To all our wine club members, customers, distributor partners, and to all the sommeliers and wine shop owners who make what we do possible, thank you, thank you, thank you.

The Story Behind Anika Syrah

If you follow me on Instagram, it’s no secret I have a deep and abiding affinity for the wines of the northern Rhône valley. Syrah’s birthplace, the red wines from this region have always held a special place in my heart and on my wine lists.

In my curiosity, I wondered if it was possible to produce whole cluster Syrah without sulfur in California in the same way my hero, Thierry Allemand does in his appellation of Cornas. With the help of Sashi Moorman, Peter Stolpman, and Ruben Solorzano, I think we were able to achieve a Syrah of tremendous drinkability in the style of Allemand.
