Sans Liege Wines
“Sans Liege is my relentless search for independence. Equally aligned with the freedoms of the New World and the heritage of the Rhone Valley, I am careful not to hold too closely to either. Instead, I trust an intuition of the microcosms of each vineyard site and vine to guide my work through each vintage. Tending fruit in vineyards that have captured my heart from Paso Robles down to Solvang, these sites speak for me and I for them; the only partners now on this path I tread."
-Curt Schalchlin | Winemaker, Sans Liege & Groundwork Wines
