History
And so forth and so on…
In 2008, five friends since the early 1970s, formed Et Cetera Wine Company. With varying wine industry backgrounds and areas of expertise, the five have joined together to produce wines of exceptional quality from the great wine regions around the world. The intent of Et Cetera Wine Company is to create what the friends were brought up around – great wine value. Their story is not of succession or nostalgia. It is a story of doing what they know, and doing it well.

Best by 2012 |
Vintage: The 2009 vintage was a relatively average year. It was mild throughout most of the season, punctuated by several short heat waves. The fruit was able to ripen fully to provide us with bright tropical fruit aromas and flavors.
Winemaker’s Notes
Overall Impression: Rich, ripe, and loaded with dark fruit.
Aroma: Dark fruit aromas of blackberry and black cherry with some sweet plum.
Palate: Bright fruit flavors of wild berries followed by a full mid-palate and a dark fruit finish. Easy drinking!
Serving Suggestions: Beef short ribs, lamb, or anything grilled. Hard cheeses pair well or pasta dishes with a ragout sauce.
