“Best thing I've ever had with a screwcap”

- F. Sinatra

This wine was made by Joe Williams.

We got our Chard from a guy called Joe, who is an absurdly prolific winemaker who we met in his restaurant in Hillsboro, OR. He had more of his own wines on the wine list than there were chairs in the restaurant.

Joe picked the grapes for this wine in the northern Willamette Valley, and kept it in barrels “until he could taste the oak” (a quantity as precise as a sugar measurement from your grandmother’s recipe book).

The wine is warming and welcoming while also giving you a nice “hello” on the sides of your tongue. It comes in a twisty-cap for a very good reason: Joe likes twisty-caps.

Drink this with traditional American fare while pretending you’re not hearing your sister-in-law yelling at you from across the room.
