Rodnick Farm Vineyard Chalone Mélon de Bourgogne

Jolie Laide

Jolie-Laide (pretty-ugly, a term of endearment in French) is the independent label of young-gun duo Scott and Jenny Schultz. Progressive wines and varietals, this Californian micro-negociant are making waves. Unconventional, as the name suggests. They work with a handful of growers, all of whom farm organically (none certified); it is their ability to seek out spectacular vineyard sites which allows them to be hands off in the winemaking process. Scott also works alongside Pax Mahle at Wind Gap wines, one of Sonoma’s (and California’s) most revered wine labels.
