In the mid-1860s, grapevines in southeastern France inexplicably began to wither and die. Jules-Émile Planchon, a botanist from Montpellier, was sent out to investigate. He discovered that the vine roots were covered in microscopic yellow insects. What they were—and where they had come from—was a mystery. The infestation advanced with the relentlessness of an invading army. Within a few years the plague had spread across Europe; even California's old-world vines succumbed to the aphid's assault...

"The Boy" was the first wine Charles Smith made that was not Syrah and as a result, put the "K" on the back label. Of course, this left a simple white label, reminiscent of the Beatles White Album. However, one thing lead to another and it all left Charles thinking of yet another musical artist, French chanteur Serge Gainsbourg and his song, The Boy. The lyric’s go "I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility," a sentiment much appreciated by Charles. Thus K The Boy label came to be.

An Eiswein made from red grapes is very uncommon. The freezing of the grapes influences the aromas greatly, and this is especially true when the grapes are red. You’ll notice the aromas are exotic, with berry influences and a spicy note in the finish. A wine is called Eiswein when it has been harvested at -7 Celsius [19 Fahrenheit] or lower. There are only 2 days a year you can properly harvest Eiswein. It’s very important to do this on a cold day so that the wine will take on more taste and be more...

Mondavi, Martini, Sebastiani, Gallo, Bargetto and Perelli-Minetti. Who could deny the importance of Italians to the development of America's wine industry? It is little known that Italians have been planting vineyards and making wine in America since the early colonial days when Filippo Mazzei was the vineyard consultant for Thomas Jefferson. Grapes were planted and nurtured in virtually every corner of America where Italians settled. Wine making was as sacrosanct as making bread or pasta. Wine is...

The Boy is 88% Grenache and 12% Syrah; the Grenache comes from Christophe Baron's biodynamic Armada vineyard. It's got that biodynamic, composty undertone to the fruit, with plenty of spice and earthy elements. There is a citrus component also - it's an intriguing wine that would be difficult to peg as Grenache in a blind tasting. It's very smoky, very earthy and gamy. The tannins are smooth, but very earthy and leafy, with some bitterness. It could be a Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
