One of my wife’s favorites.

She can identify it in blind tasting, and has been noted say, “Really good, I can really taste the Peay-ness of this one.”

If the OP had asked instead how to pronounce “Maison Ilan” this thread would be 5 pages by now.

It’s a CA wine. Of course it’s PAY.

We were with Nick yesterday at the vineyard. Very remote so quite a commitment to visit. About 90 minutes thru mostly narrow winding mountain roads west of Healdsburg. But the payoff once there was great. Beautiful site, meticulous farming and winemaking, sublime wines. And I can proclaim 100% it’s pronounced “Pay” :slight_smile:

John, we’re making our 6th trip to the ‘Farm’ in August. It is indeed a beautiful site.

Bud- wow! You are a dedicated fan of the wines. My wife’s comment was “next time were going to the winery in Cloverdale to taste”. Halfway kidding I think. That trek is tougher on the passenger than the driver I suppose. Dodging the logging trucks was the scariest thing about it.
