Perched above the village of Radda in Chianti, this tiny 12-acre estate is carved into steep hillsides at 1,050–1,200 feet, surrounded by forest and bathed in southeastern light. Ancient vines—mostly Sangiovese planted in 1967—dig deep into galestro clay and fractured alberese stone, yielding wines of striking tension and lift. #ertadiradda#chianticlassico#chianticlassico_brunello_lover

His first vintage captivated top sommeliers in Paris and Michelin-starred restaurants — and never made it to the U.S. Now the second vintage has arrived, and North Berkeley Imports is ready to wow the country. 

It’s not just Vouvray. It’s old-vine, single-site Chenin Blanc grown on pure limestone (tuffeau) clay, flint soils, farmed with an almost obsessive focus on low yields and precision, then vinified to express tension. The youngest vines are over 50 years old, and the wines are already becoming some of the most sought-after Chenin Blancs in the Loire.

When tariffs hit, small importers didn’t just lose margin — they lost oxygen. But one importer refused to accept it. Victor Schwartz of VOS Imports took on executive trade power in a landmark case against Trump-era tariffs — and won.

This isn’t just a wine story. It’s a story about grit, limits of authority, and what happens when one voice refuses to stay quiet.

Arthur Guinness felt it was important to give back to the city that hosts the brewery. In the 1800s, the Guinness family contributed to the restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. St. Stephen’s Green, a private green reserved for the city’s wealthiest residents, was purchased by Arthur Edward Guinness and donated to the City so the green space could be enjoyed by everyone in the area.

The brewery paid 10% higher than the average industrial wage in Dublin at the time. In 1870, a medical centre was established to provide free healthcare not just to employees but to their families. This generosity still exists today. Next time you grab a pint, smile and remind yourself of all the  great things Guinness did to make the world a better place.
