WELCOME TO ENTRE NOUS WINES, A SMALL FAMILY WINERY IN THE HEART OF NAPA VALLEY DEDICATED TO EXQUISITE, HAND-CRAFTED ESTATE WINES.
“Entre Nous” in French means “between us” – bringing those together who have both a role in making the wine and those who enjoy drinking it. In addition, “entre nous”, when applied to wine – indicates this is a beverage that is best enjoyed with others!Entre Nous released their first wine in 2007 – a Cabernet Sauvignon. This gem of a property in Oakville is planted to 26 acres of vines – most of which is sold to premium wineries. Each year, Kristine Ashe harvests from select blocks and makes about 500 cases of wine. All grapes for their wines are from the estate.
Proprietor Kristine Ashe grew up in Marin County in the San Francisco Bay area and used to take trips up to Napa – where she ultimately fell in love with the lifestyle and the region’s wine. In 2000 she purchased her Oakville Estate – hired well regarded vineyard manager David Abreu – who promptly sectioned the property into smaller blocks to better micro manage the vineyard.
Today the vineyard is carefully managed, fruit is watched closely and dropped throughout the growing season, leaving only the most healthy quality bunches to fully ripen before harvest. The property is organically farmed – even sheep are brought in seasonally to graze the cover crop between the vines.
More recently, much sought after winemaker Phillipe Melka was hired and currently is their winemaker. Phillipe consults for a number of premium producers in Napa. He is well recognized in the industry and was voted American Winemaker of the year in 2005 by Robert Parker in Food & Wine Magazine. Philippe has a geology degree as well as a degree in oenology and agronomy (he knows his Napa terroir very well). He is as detailed in the vineyard as he is with the wine-making.
Entre Nous has been quite the unexpected and gratifying journey. Our family endeavor has taken me from sage brush and barbed wire to biodynamic farming and hand de-stemming some of the finest grapes in the world. Collaborating with relatives really strengthened our connection to one another, and created a community electrified with talent, zeal and unparalleled work ethic. I’ve found my place here, surrounded by family, friends, and work that I love. I don't take a single moment for granted. – Joe

MARK LACH - CREATIVE DIRECTOR, PREMIER EXHIBITIONS, INC - ARTIFACTS RECOVERED FROM RMS TITANIC WILL BE ON DISPLAY FOR THE LAST TIME
SEVEN SOON-TO-BE RETIRED ARTIFACTS WILL BE EXHIBITED ONE LAST TIME DURING THE 104TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SINKING OF TITANIC The infamous story of Titanic is as fascinating to people around the world today as it was in 1912…Seven priceless artifacts recovered from the wreck site of RMS Titanic will be retired from public view forever and put into permanent conservation after a 4-month special engagement exhibit in Las Vegas. This will be the last time people can see these artifacts, incredibly rare paper documents and clothing, for themselves. The rarest artifacts ever recovered, the vast majority of paper and textiles aboard Titanic rapidly decomposed in the harsh undersea environment that exists 2.5-miles below the surface of the Atlantic, unlike heartier glass, metal and ceramic items that largely were intact when the wreck site was found in 1985.
On Thursday, April 14th, 104 years after Titanic struck an iceberg in the Atlantic, Mark Lach, Creative Director, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition for Premier Exhibitions, will be available to discuss the artifacts that will be retired this year, never to be seen in public again. Among them is the haunting declaration of intent to seek U.S. citizenship of an immigrant who went down with the ship and a chilling mateless leather shoe that has never before been on display. This is the first time recovered artifacts from the wreck site of Titanic will be retired from public view. The selection represents a remarkable cross section of Titanic’s passengers and provides an intimate glimpse into life aboard the ship over a century ago.
