Wine Wednesdays: New Clairvaux Vineyard

This week we have the iconic, and vastly award-winning, winery New Clairvaux and winemaker Aimee Sunseri - hosted by Lindsey Sunseri.   New Clairvaux has one of the world’s most distinguished winemaking history going back five generations, creating wines on serving as home to Trappist-Cistercian monks and revitalizing a remarkable place. 

WINERY BACKGROUND

Aimée Sunseri became the fifth-generation winemaker after earning a degree from UC Davis’s renowned school of Viticulture and Enology. Many years and many vintages later, the land, the monks, and Aimée are proving the Vina experiment to be a success. New Clairvaux wines have won numerous national and international awards. 

Come judge for yourself in a casual setting - taste, chat, buy some wine and stay awhile!  Learn more at their winery website at: NewClairvaux.com
