Kalin Cellars
Kalin Cellars is the winery of Terrance and Frances Leighton, who apart from being Professors for Biology at UC Berkeley were incredible wine enthusiasts.
In the late 1970s, they set up their project,making wines in a resolutely classical, old-world style that would be long-lived.
Releasing their cuvees only once they deemed them ready to drink, the wines have remained some of the best kept secrets in the wine world, and offer tremendous quality at reasonable prices.

Rhys Vineyards
Santa Cruz Mountains
Rhys is the project of Kevin Harvey, a passionate wine collector, who made his fortune in finance.
Set in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the project started in his back yard and has since become arguably the finest producer of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in California. These are by no means big monsters, but rather Burgundian-proportioned wines of elegance, delicacy and weightless concentration. In blind tastings, they would certainly mislead most experienced tasters!
