Founded by maverick winemaker, Manfred Krankl, Sine Qua Non is perhaps the most famous of all the Californian cult wineries. Tant Pis! is one the very first wines ever released by Krankl and was made as an homage to Jacques Reynaud (pictured on the label), who was the owner and manager of Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is a blend of approximately 60% Grenache from legendary Rhône Ranger, John Alban, and 40% of his own Syrah. Old “Project Wines” from Manfred are exceptionally rare and only 150 magnums of this cuvée were bottled from a single barrel.

Sine Qua Non

Sine Qua Non

The wines of Sine Qua Non need little introduction. Mould breaking, iconoclastic, visionary are just some of the descriptors invoked when critics and wine lovers discuss this unique winery. Based in Ventura, north of LA, the wines of Sine Qua Non regularly notch up perfect scores from critics while the waiting list for a direct allocation is well over ten years.

Founded by Manfred and Elaine Krankl in the early 1990s, the duo swiftly gained attention from wine lovers and critics for their superb Rhône blend wines, quirky labels and uncompromising approach in the vineyard and cellar. The winery has experimented with producing Oregon Pinot Noir, dessert wines and an array of quirky single varietal reds and whites, but generally revert to producing the wines for which they are most famous - Grenache and Syrah. The wines are generally big and bold, but those who like things cranked up to eleven should look no further than Manfred's "extended barrel ageing" program.
