“How is Tablas Creek related to Châteauneuf-du-Pape?” Of all the things that makes our story so compelling, our connection with an ancient village in Southern Rhône is the one that excites me. The name transports you not only to another time and place, it also evokes a turbulent time in the Catholic Church history, the birth a wine dynasty family, an iconic bottle, and the inspiration for our flagship wine Esprit de Tablas.
