WINE TASTINGS & EVENTS
Anne Parent Bio
One of the most respected and well-known winemakers in all of Burgundy, the Domaine Parent moved from Volnay to Pommard in 1803. One of their early customers was Thomas Jefferson, who brought these wines back to America to share with our forefathers. Anne’s ancestor, Etienne Parent, was Jefferson’s personal advisor, friend, and confidant. In fact, Jefferson took cuttings from the Domaine Parent vines to plant at Monticello. Unfortunately, the climate in Virginia is not conducive to growing Pinot Noir; so the vines did not survive. Still, this is a unique tie to American history. Anne is a lawyer by training. Along with her sister, Catherine, she took over the estate in 1998, becoming the 12th generation of winemakers in this family. I started my business in 1999 and began importing wine from the Domaine Parent in 2000.
Like many of the women who became winemakers at that time, Anne was not trained as one; so she created the Women’s Winemaker Association in Burgundy. The women banded together and assisted each other with the details of winemaking. It was a great move by Anne as it immensely helped many women. In fact, women in other wine-producing regions in France have copied the model.
There are 70 winemakers in Pommard and this family is one of the very best. They have some of the choicest parcels of wines in Pommard as well as Grand Cru vines in Corton. With Anne’s considerable energy and drive to succeed, she converted the estate not only to organic agriculture, but also to biodynamic agriculture. Their wines simply get better and better each year. Anne says that there are no bad vintages in Burgundy, just bad winemakers. Every year, she makes truly expressive and balanced wines in the traditional Burgundian style.
Anne and her sister are currently transferring the estate to Catherine’s daughter, Constance. She has worked in the wine industry for years and is proud to become the 13th generation of winemaker for the Domaine Parent. Anne has even been honored to receive the French Legion of Honor medal – France’s highest civilian award!

I have a very special event on Monday, November 9th, 5:30 pm — Anne Parent, owner and winemaker for Domaine Parent in Pommard Burgundy will be here! This is a very prestigious estate. It’s the first time Anne will be in South Carolina so it’s very special that Sauer Grapes will be the host! (I even gave up a Champagne and Caviar dinner for this.) Parent is part of Pignatiello’s portfolio owned by Steve, who direct imports his burgundy portfolio so there is no middle man which results in more value! Burgundy is where most experts believe the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is produced and is probably the most expensive vineyard land in the World! Here is the amazing lineup:
2023 Monthelie Blanc
2022 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Rouge
2023 Ladoix La Corvee 1er Cru
2022 Pommard Croix Blanch
2022 Pommard Argillieres 1er Cru
2022 Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru
And I”ll have a couple of special bottles available for sale:
2023 Corton Renards Grand Cru
2023 Corton Blanc Grand Cru

Light bread and cheese will accompany the tasting.
I can’t think of a better place to be on a Monday!
$75 per person (+t&g) with $10 off with any wine purchase.
Thanks to some financial support, I’m able to offer this tasting at a reduced price. However, seating is limited. Get your RSVP in early!

Brittany (my rep) and Julianne Gault (NC, SC and GA rep for Quintessential Wines) will be here to showcase Marisco Family Wines, Marlborough, New Zealand. I’ve never been a big fan of Marlborough wines, but I had the pleasure of having lunch with owner and winemaker Brent Marris who convinced me that when you have the best of the land and ideal climate and terroir like Marlborough, you can make some amazing wines! And Brent should know, he was just named White Winemaker of the Year at the prestigious International Wine Challenge (IWC) awards! (By the way, he started Oyster Bay but sold it when it got so big he felt like he needed to move on — they produce over 3 million cases a year ).
These Marisco Family wines changed my mind about Marlborough! Here are the wines:
Fernland Sauvignon Blanc 2024
The NED Sauvignon Blanc 2024
The NED Pinot Gris 2024
The NED Rose 2025
The NED Pinot Noir 2023
Wines are priced $20 to $30.
