    Domaine Schieffer – because I’d be in Burgundy.

    I think a wine/winery should have a name that reflects where it’s grown somehow. I’m going to call the stuff I’m growing in my backyard: arrière-cour.

    Funny you should ask that QOD. After our last wine tasting trip and meeting so many couples that tossed their careers and started making wine, my wife and I talked about doing the same thing. One out the first questions we talked about was what to call our winery. I wish I could say we came up with some amazing name that was a marketing coup, but alas I’m really allergic to fake and pretentious names. “Chateau” or “Daomaine” anything would be fake because I’m in California, not France. Anything French or Italian would seem fake and pretentious to me. I’m not into cutesy names (e.g. Roshambo) either.

    There’s a winery called “Toogood” here in California, and I thought that was the worst fake and pretentious sappy name for a winery until I found out that Toogood was the real family name.

    So I have no idea of what to name our winery. Can’t be Dunn Vineyards, because there’s already a top end Napa producer by the name of Randy Dunn. Probably try to name it after the vineyard or the location if we ever get the guts to do it.

    Uhhh, why all the white wine when it’s getting cold here in the Midwest and East Coast. Chill is in the air. Bring on the reds-Gary, sir, you promised me a review of some of the ‘03 Burgundies. And just for fun, if you still have the ‘03 La Cadeau pinot in stock, how ’bout throwing that in too.
