Our main aim at the beginning was to create a simple label and an easy drinking wine, fruity with soft tanins. <BR/><BR/>I had the idea of CABS in San Francisco in 2003. During a dinner with friends I heard that everybody "cut" the different names of the grape varieties: cab for cab sauvignon, zin for zinfandel. 3 months later it was the CABS'birth.<BR/>I tried to adapt our Old World rules to the people needs.

Despite having a good wine, it is as much a marketing game these days. I have seen many people turn away from French wine because they just did not know what was in the bottle, and sadly enough, other people buy a wine because the bottle was sexy.
