The Great California Wine Mystery Why superstar West Coast vintners don't (or won't) put out inexpensive bottles. slate.com I don't buy this: Krankl also said that European vintners such as Chave and Lafon are in a very different position than he is. Heirs to long winemaking traditions (in Chave's case, one dating back to the 15th century), they didn't have to build reputations from scratch; they just had to prove that they were worthy successors to their fathers. Once they did that, they were free to moonlight—to take on side projects and to carve out identities distinct from the ones bequeathed them. Sine Qua Non, by contrast, has existed only since 1994, and Krankl said his sole objective is to establish a track record of great wines—wines that can go sip-for-sip with the best of Chave or Lafon. The fact is that the European vintners learned to make great wines by making wines that regular people could drink. Those that remain good winemakers today, continue to do so. Those who have lost their soul (cough Bordeaux cough) and strive only to make trophy wines, have often lost what it was that made them great to begin with.
