Title
An appellation is a designated place of origin.
It is a term used to reference wine and foods produced in a specific location and gives a sense of place, history, quality, and culture.
In order to claim an appellation, a wine must be made with a minimum percentage of grapes grown in that region (typically 75 - 90%). Many of these producers come from a long line of family tradition in winemaking and take great pride in representing their appellation. Most consider themselves farmers first, and winemakers second - because of this, there is a genuine concern and care for the land and many vineyards are organically-farmed, wines are minimally-processed so that the land comes through the fruit, and many vineyard owners are sustainable energy-producers.
Appellation-designated wines tend to be more balanced, structured, and speak to their origin with wonderful stories and affinity for their land and vineyards. They pair naturally with foods from their region, and we have sought after cheeses, charcuterie, and conservas to recreate the feeling of being in the vineyard with each taste.
An easy rule of thumb for pairing food and wine: "What grows together, goes together."
