The 2000 growing season featured weird harvest weather, according to winemaker John Kongsgaard. "The biggest problem," according to Kongsgaard, "was that the fruit went too fast to the finish line." On the other hand, Kongsgaard added, "the 1999s are rather aristocratic wines with good posture, not quite as blobby as California wines usually are." As always, Kongsgaard's wines, especially those he makes under his own label, are highly recommended for those who prefer to drink European.

"If you're a Euro drinker, you're in the right barn here," said John Kongsgaard during my tasting of his various sets of wines at Luna at the end of February. These are naturally made and utterly distinctive wines with uncanny density and tactile quality. In contrast to most wines from California, the Kongsgaard bottlings, especially those under the Kongsgaard and Arietta labels, are about much more than mere fruitiness.
