Winemaker notes: 
“Oh, East is East, and West is West, and ne’er the twain shall meet.”  Twain brings together the viticultural equivalent of polar opposite personalities. Riesling, precise, revered for its aromatic potential, its acidity, its capacity to know its place. Chardonnay, ubiquitous and mutable, made in every corner of the world to bend to site or to winemaker whim. Into the press, together, into the barrels, together, and there the twain were joined as though they were born under the same star.
