ABERLOUR
The distillery was founded in 1879 by James Fleming, who shrewdly built it on the site of St Drostan's Well, thus securing forever this priceless source of pure spring water. When the journalist Alfred Barnard visited Aberlour in the 1880s, as part of his exhaustive survey of Scottish whisky distilleries, he described James Fleming's new establishment as a "perfect modern Distillery".
In 1898 a fire destroyed several of the distillery buildings and most of the whisky stocks. Under the supervision of Scotland's foremost designer of whisky distilleries, Charles Doig of Elgin, the Aberlour Distillery was largely rebuilt.
Over the past 100 years, with modernisation and technology, the landscape of the distillery has inevitably altered, though many of the original features are still there and the traditional working character of the place remains unchanged. The latest addition is the new Visitors Centre - the Fleming Rooms - named after the founder of the distillery.

Accendo Cellars
In 2013, Bart and Daphne Araujo sold their historic Araujo Estate and Eisele Vineyard in Calistoga with plans to embark on a new adventure called Accendo Cellars. Currently, Jaime and Greg Araujo manage national sales together. Jaime comes with years of wine consulting and marketing management, while Greg comes from a culinary education in Spain. Accendo, Latin for “to kindle, to illuminate, to inflame, to arouse”, embodies everything the owners intend to accomplish with this business.
Through the help of much of the same team from Araujo Estate, Accendo is producing an 'uber' blend of Napa Valley fruit, sourced from estate vineyards, along with exceptional vineyard sites owned by close family friends. The style of these wines is modeled after the famous blends from the mid-20th century Napa Valley where diversity of terroir is harmonized by the winemaker into an outstanding bottle of wine.
With Accendo, they apply their experience working with terroir to their own vineyards in Oakville and St. Helena, and to properties throughout Napa Valley which they have long held in high esteem. They work with friends and growers who share their viticultural philosophy and passion, who care as much about the vitality of the land as the quality of the grapes they grow. And whose interest, like theirs, is in producing wines expressive of terroir.

Alban Vineyards
Alban Vineyards ᛡ John Alban pioneered California's first winery and vineyard dedicated exclusively to the varieties of the Rhône in 1989: a 250 acre ranch in the Edna Valley of San Luis Obispo County. He had often wondered why France was vinifying around five hundred different grape varieties when California was using about six. At the age of twenty-four he fell in love with a glass of Condrieu at a time when anything that was neither Cabernet nor Chardonnay (“California’s wine equivalent of vanilla and chocolate”) was barely grown in California. He realized that if he was going to find out more about Viognier he would have to go to France, and so he did. In the face of profound local suspicion and even animosity, he spent time apprenticing anywhere that would have him and organizing all the climate and soil information he could find. All of this indicated to him that Syrah, Viognier, Grenache and Roussanne made more than mere sense in California.
Since there were few of these Rhône varieties in California at the time, and those that did exist were not of the quality that Alban was looking for, he set about propagating the small number of cuttings he had gathered in France into commercial quantities. He spent the next few years of his life in greenhouses where he, as he puts it “lost touch with reality” and emerged to plant thirty-two acres of Viognier when there were only fifty on the entire planet. The only white Rhône variety more obscure than Viognier was Roussanne and he duly released a pure Roussanne in 1991, the second such wine produced globally. Alban Vineyards provided a large proportion of the cuttings to enable Viognier acreage to increase from zero to over 2,000 acres in the state of California and that of Syrah from a few hundred to more than 17,000. -
ALBERT BOXLER

His wines garnered praise from wine critics worldwide, with several scoring 98 points or higher from renowned figures like Robert M. Parker. This success allowed his wines to gain recognition far beyond the borders of Austria, offering wine lovers unparalleled tasting experiences.
A Unique Winemaking Philosophy
Alois Kracher was a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture and natural winemaking. He placed particular emphasis on the use of indigenous yeasts for fermentation and refrained from using chemicals or artificial additives. His Trockenbeerenauslesen wines were made traditionally, with hand-harvested grapes carefully selected to ensure the highest quality.
A Lasting Legacy
Although Alois Kracher passed away in 2007 at the age of 48 from pancreatic cancer, his winemaking legacy lives on through his son, Gerhard Kracher, who continues to produce wines with the same commitment to excellence and family traditions. The estate remains a symbol of sweet wine mastery and a key player in Austrian viticulture.
