Great value winery with an ecentric winemaker. they have had their share of great press over the years and have had some wonderful wines. I really enjoyed the '94 cigar volant but have been underwhelmed by the vintages since. I read somewhere (never tasted) that his most expensive wine selling for over $200 is named sucatash bescause he liked the idea of wealthy people acting pompous having to order a bottle of sucatash to the sommelier. Certaninly tremendous value in most of their bottles- and I do share your appreciation for the cardinal zin. I believe the vin de glacier is a staple at most restaurants as an inexpensive dessert wine. good stuff.
