Celebrate that you’ve done your taxes by joining us for dinner on the 15th. We’ll be trotting the globe with Sineann. What do we mean by trotting the globe? Well Peter Roesback, the winemaker and think tank of Sineann, a truly one-man show of unpretentious proportions – loves earth. He loves making wine in the perfect place for his grapes. True to classic French winemaking, he believes in letting the work be done in the vineyards. He makes Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand, Cabernet varietals in Washington and California, and Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris in Oregon. And he does it all himself! How does he have the time, you might ask? To that, we don’t have a good answer, cause we’re not sure ourselves. But the wines are beautiful – and always perform exceptionally.
