Irwin Mayfield-Grammy Award Winning Jazz Trumpeter

At only 32 years old, Irvin Mayfield represents the continuity of the unfolding Jazz legacy of New Orleans. Winning both a Grammy Award and a Billboard-award, this versatile trumpeter, bandleader, composer, arranger, professor, cultural ambassador and recording artist is on a path to position Jazz at the center of American culture. His musical virtuosity and devotion to the music has made Mayfield one of the most recorded and decorated Jazz musicians of his generation. In 2002, Mayfield created the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO), a performing arts institution dedicated to presenting engaging and transformative Jazz experiences. Under his artistic direction, NOJO won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble for its critically acclaimed CD Book One on the World Village/Harmonia Mundi label. The 20-piece orchestra, which is one of the most sought after touring Jazz orchestras in the country includes such respected musicians as Victor Atkins on piano, Ed “Sweetbread” Petersen on saxophone and Evan Christopher on clarinet, to name a few.

Erich describes his winemaking as New World style complemented by Old World sensibilities, and he employs artisanal techniques to produce superior and distinctive wines.

• We are red wine makers with a New World winemaking style; our wines are bold and expressive.
• Our wines are artisanal, handcrafted and made in small lots to ensure the highest quality.  Some of our guiding principles include...

1. Meticulous vineyard management
2. Sovereignty on the vine, with no two clusters touching, to insure even ripening
3. Field cluster sorting, both before and after fruit is harvested
4. Cluster and berry sorting in the winery
5. Three to five day cold soaking of the fruit
6. Whole berry, native fermentations in open-top fermenters
7. Punch downs by hand
8. Gentle basket pressing
9. Unfined and unfiltered finished wines

• Our wines have a strong value component.  They are not cheap, but we price them within many wine buyers’ reach.
• We believe in 100 percent customer satisfaction, backed up by a Money Back Guarantee, regardless of reason.
