Both an award-winning sommelier and palate extraordinaire, Rajat Parr has assembled a collection of terroir-driven, impressive California wines that blend the innovative passion of the “new world” with France's noble traditions.

Pulled from some of the most well-regarded vineyards in California, Parr Selections are handpicked, unique cuvées that are impressively complex, fruit-forward and ideally balanced to pair with food. Parr has won numerous awards and accolades for his unparalleled selection of world-class wines for Michael Mina restaurant in San Francisco, an impressive, exhaustive list that highlights his love for classic Burgundy and Rhône wines. Which is why the following selections are so exciting—not only does Parr Selections source grapes from unique, terroir-inspired vineyards, but also imagines in wine exactly what we'd want to enjoy while dining at a great table, such as Michael Mina.

Each wine varietal finds its perfect terroir home in the following selections. The 2004 Chardonnay “Sanford & Benedict” sources perfect, cooler-weather fruit from one of Santa Barbera's oldest and most renowned-vineyards—this is diamond-pure Chardonnay with the soul of white Burgundy! Equally inspired by the Côte d'Or is the 2004 Pinot Noir “Kiser,” a bountiful wine that grows on pure schist and is characterized by its elegance and finesse. The 2004 Syrah “Purisima Mountain” is sourced from 100% biodynamic grapes and is aged like a fine Côte Rôtie. Purity of flavor and fidelity to terroir is what you'll find with Parr Selections—we are very pleased to be the exclusive retailer of these fine wines, and are certain you will be as awed by them as we are.
