One was to taste all new vintages that were on their way to the U.S. and the other was to find a new producer for our Rubus Chardonnay label. In 2009 we used California grapes.

The U.S. was overpriced for the product. We knew the Siegel family had planted hundreds of hectares of vineyard that they'd been experimenting with for the past 20 years. Most of the grapes were being sold off. No one in-house had ever tried to bottle any of the juice.
