Last week we had the president of JAQK Cellars, Bernard La Borie, out from San Francisco at our store for a wine tasting. This was the first time and place in whole world that these wines were seen by the public. It happened by accident, as my boss had stumbled across some samples that went across the country to the various distribution houses. As soon as he tried them, he bought the lot. La Borie, impressed with the quick order, accepted an invite to come to Omaha and to our tasting. Bernard was a hit, it seemed like the customers loved him and he did well the staff as well. We get winemakers and big whigs from the wine world all the time, but none of them seemed as down to earth as he. And he represented great wines; the prices ranged from $22 for some of the whites to about $ 70 for the High Roller, which is a very fine Cabernet. These wines have the total package; good juice in a good bottle represented by people who care, thats all we could hope for.
