Anybody know about this wine? I just picked up two bottles that were collecting dust on the sale rack of a local wine shop. Obviously I recognize the Boswell name, but according to CT this is the only year they produced ‘Hazel Grace’. Any ideas?
Well since I seemed to stump everyone on this site, I decided to go straight to the source for some info. I emailed Susan Boswell directly and this was her response…
"As I recall there were just a hundred + cases…it was my very first wine I produced solely from the estate old heritage vines…from the Niebaum clone which Andre Tchelistcheff had brought to my husband to be planted here. Andre was my husband’s first winemaker in 1979 and is noted as one of the Napa Valley’s most renown of all time.
At any rate what a fun find…let me know how it is?..and yes it was a one time bottling named after my husband’s granddaughter."
Cool story and very nice of her to provide the information. Can’t wait to try one
