Distinguished wine has a distinguishing philosophy of vineyard stewardship and creative winemaking. Our philosophy derives from the totality of the wine experience -- a holism encompassing wine's social history as well as its unique creativity that encompasses sensual nuance and seasonal earth labor.

When we examine the sweeping history of wine the central theme will be forever articulated by Thomas Jefferson who stated that "Wine from long habit has become indispensable for my health." This was not an idle comment by one of our supreme intellectuals; it reflected the enduring family experience of our forbearers who understood that wine's first purpose is for nourishment and well-being.

Carmody McKnight Wines return to that fundamental purpose.

And creativity? Creativity diminishes as volume increases. Limited production is not a catch phrase. It means we produce less to create more.

Buying wine from a family estate and limited production winery supports the new family farmer who is revitalizing our country's greatest tradition. It is also a statement that we will resist industrialization of our wine (and food) supply which has led to the overarching global mediocrity affecting so much of our lives. Supporting artisan wineries is thumbs-up for regional diversity and authenticity, let alone the disappearing family farm -- once the foundation of this country and true individual freedom.
