MV Food Wine 2008 Start Screen

Every year the Nantucket Wine Festival plays host to some of the major movers and shakers of the national wine, food, and restaurant scene. This year is no exception. Among the notables . . . .



BERTRAND AMBROISE

Bobby Kacher and Bertrand Ambroise met in 1988 and became friends immediately. Bobby introduced Robert Parker to Bertrands wines during a few memorable private tastings in his cellar. Whatever experience Bertrand lacked when he took over the estate, he can certainly teach a few tricks to many winemakers now, as he finishes up his 32nd year as a renowned winemaker and magician in the vineyard!

After 22 years of service as a pilot with the French Air Force, Michel returned to the vineyards with his wife, Martine, the daughter of famed vigneron Georges Deleger, to start his own Domaine Anglada-Deleger. His goal is to continue the tradition of excellence embodied in Deleger's work.

JOHN ARNS
John and his family have been farming grapes on their Tilting Rock Ranch property since 1966. The property is in the eastern hills of the Napa Valley near St. Helena at an elevation of 600-800 feet. In 1992, with owner and winemaker Sandi Belcher, they released their first Arns Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Organic farming, low yields in the nine different vineyard blocks, and lots of care in their small winery produces about 600 cases of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon each year.
