California Vs. Colorado Wine Tasting
Overview
This family-owned winery label is the creation of James & Mark Blanchard, two brothers with a shared passion for fine wines. Originated in Healdsburg, California, Blanchard Family Wines offers hand-crafted, artisan selections that truly showcase a sense of place, and exhibit boutique winemaking techniques. Their wines, from various appellations of California and Colorado, are extremely low-production and limited in availability.
Blanchard Family Wines is dedicated to the creation of limited production, hand-crafted, artisan wines, sourced from the top vineyards in the Sonoma Valley and across the state of Colorado. We showcase the world-class appellations of Russian River, Chalk Hill, Dry Creek and Alexander Valley and most of our wines are either 100% varietal or single-vineyard products. Our family roots blend into our company philosophy, from our logo to our product names. We are proud to showcase wines from multiple Colorado producers around the state!
