ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cassiday Blare
Pinot Noir
Chris Condos has a reputation as one of the early advocates the organic wine movement in the United States. For the past two decades, he has made a name for himself across the country making wines in his own way. As an early adopter of organic and biodynamic farming, Chris put into practice sustainable farming techniques a decade before they became mainstream, with the focus on producing low intervention wines that let the grape speak for itself.

Subtle notes of savory herbs and bramble tease out of the Pinot Noir as the wine opens up. It’s enjoyable to drink on its own but really shines with food. We’ve been enjoying it with pork tenderloin and roasted mushrooms that really brings out the earthiness of the Pinot N ...

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cassiday Blare
The Prohibition Era was an interesting time made all the more captivating by men like George Cassiday. Supplying most of the occupants of Capitol Hill with their “liquid pleasures,” Cassiday cast a wide light on the archaic law by writing a series of articles published by the Washington Post in 1930 about his illegal ventures. Not long after, the law was overturned, and for all of us at Cassiday Blare, we tip our hat to you, sir!
