About Wonderwerk
Wonderwerk stands out also for their colorful, eye-catching labels: “We wouldn’t be anywhere without our friends Anton Goddard and Lana Shahmoradian who design all of our branding and label artwork, as well as the slew of other friends who lend their creative energy to making some of our more absurd and visual ideas come true,” Issamu acknowledges. “It’s true that you “drink with your eyes first” and so we’ve always wanted to create wines that jump out at you, grab your attention and make you go “what is this all about…?” Well, New York, thanks to this hot addition in the Jenny & Francois book, you can now wonder about Wonderwerk’s work as well! - Jenny and Francois

About Bodegas Y Vinedos Pigar
"Juan's family owns vineyards in and around Requena but after meeting Mariano and tasting the magic the couple found their path as winemakers. You're probably asking yourselves why they have so much Chardonnay and the answer is quite simple. Utiel-Requena is an authorized Cava region and for this reason their family planted so much Chardonnay. That said, they are also working with/recovering some of the region's indigenous grape varieties like Tardana, Tortusi, Royal, and of course, Bobal. They practices organic viticulture and their winemaking is as radical as Mariano's. Pure fermented grape juice, nothing else." - Selections de la Vina

About Celler Les Foes
"He (Roger) works with old vines of Monastrell and Macabeu but most of his production comes from about 3 hectares of vines he planted in 2009 making 2014 his first vintage. The soils in the region are composed mostly of clay loam and in certain areas there’s a calcareous rock layer called tapaz giving all of his wines chalky texture and minerality. All of his vineyards are farmed organically and treated with biodynamic preparations following the lunar calendar." - Selections de la Vina

About Ziniel
If you put down a ball with us, it will stay where it is. That's because we're at the lowest point in Austria, so nothing moves without a nudge. We too are completely at peace here and in the middle of the universe .This is due to the innate fascination for the far-flung landscape with 360 degrees of all-round visibility and 180 degrees of sky. In that sense, we're more Buddhists than Rolling Stones. Free spirits, not city frocks. This also characterizes our wines, which tell of it in their very own way. Depending on origin and gradation, very simple and down-to-earth , straightforward and typical or stubborn, unmistakable and free . - Ziniel
