SINE QUA NON - WORKS OF ART

Sine Qua Non is a California cult winery known for its Rhône style blends, a tendency to avoid repetition, and a very limited production of wine that is highly difficult to obtain with a waiting of list of greater than 10 years. The wines have been titled with names such as Queen of Spades, Twisted & Bent, Imposter McCoy, The Bride, Poker Face, and Red Handed, and the bottles come uncommonly shaped with distinctive labels featuring owner Manfred Krankl's own artwork.

The goal of Sine Qua Non has been to create incredible wines that speak to both the heart and the mind. Wines that are ripe and flavorful, but also graceful and balanced. Wines that are perfectly enjoyable and delicious young, but that will age and show a new and interesting personality with each passing year. Here is your chance to obtain an incredible collection of 20 Sine Qua Non that few have the chance.
