Fraîche Wine Group

Vin Fraîche is a family of wineries founded and led by winemaker Marc Gagnon and sommelier Michael Kennedy. Marc was the former winemaker for cult wineries Screaming Eagle and Bryant Family in Napa and Michael was the Sommelier for chef Eric Ripert. The two have founded 4 wineries since 2016:

SOM Wines - OR, WA, and Napa (L.S. Vineyard of Lingua Franca, Zillah Ranch Vineyard in Rattlesnake Hills WA, Heitz Trailside, Beckstoffer Bourn and Caldwell Vineyard in Coombsville)

“Gagnon and Kennedy are explorers. They seek out history in the vineyards they work with and skillfully coax wonders out of American ancient vines.” Keith Beavers, Vinepair

“Sommelier/winemaker Michael Kennedy turns supporting-cast Bordeaux varieties like Petit Verdot into top-of-the-marquee stars.” - Ian Coble, Master Sommelier

Purchased Component whites last year–worth every penny. The Semillon was a memorable part of our brunch at the Modern Bar Room.

Michael’s and Mark’s wines are somewhat of a recent discovery for me, but I’m a big fan of the Component Cabernet Sauvignons! (big enough that I’ve scheduled a tasting at the Cheese Shed in April!) With the BD15 offer, I’m “branching out” and trying their Super Tuscan! Cheers!:+1:

@ray_ormand @MarkBinnig

Thanks for the love, gentlemen!

What a coincidence! I just enjoyed many of these wines at a Vin Fraiche dinner in the ATL this week.
Really enjoyed the Semilion, Sauv blanc, Rosso and the 2021 chardonnay we were able to try. Quite fresh and balanced. The Semilion was a stunner. Can’t comment on the others we did not taste.

It was wonderful meeting you, @RKatz!

So good to see you back! Love my purchases from last year – the Semilion is just stunning!

So glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Read about Gagnon-Kennedy wines last year and purchased; now introduced to Fraiche Wine Group and looking forward to trying more!

Just posted a late order for some olive oil and 2020 La Caccia Toscana Rosso, can’t wait to try!
