“It's a great honor for us to have been reviewed on stylegourmet.com. We are a small family winery growing vines with passion since 1890, the brand Tre Donne and the modern dress of our bottles was born in 1985 when my sisters and I decided to continue an ancient oenological tradition. It's thanks to people like you that our brand is becoming so well known in the USA!”
Rosanna Lequio, Tre Donne, Neive, Piemonte, Italy

“I really enjoyed the layout of your website. After perusing 'tons' of other websites over the years, yours stood out as informative, well-presented, user-friendly, a pleasure to navigate in.”
Mike Lindquist, Bern's Steak House in Tampa, Florida

“Je vous remercie enfin d'avoir fait remarquer qu'un Ventoux pouvait sans complexe se comparer à un Gigondas ou un Châteauneuf-du-pape : c'est notre ferme conviction mais nous avons besoin de prescripteurs comme vous pour nous défendre!”
Frédéric Chaudière, Château Pesquié, Mormoiron France

“La familia Esteban propietaria de Bodegas y viñedos Valderiz y su enologo Isaac Fernandez, le damos las gracias por ese reconocimiento público de nuestro trabaja y entusiasmo a la hora de trabajar nuestras viñas. Son reconomicimiento así lo que nos hace cada día intentar hacer las cosas mejor, por eso mismo le hacemos participe de nuestros futuros exitos.”
La familia Esteban, Ribera del Duero, Spain

“Thank you for your honest and spot on review of what we do and how we approach things. It is only a chef that can pick up the straight forwardness and the simplicity but also the complexity of the wine like the Original Chenin Blanc. I really enjoyed reading your review and I sincerely hope that we can meet eye to eye in the near future.”
Bruwer Raats, Raats Family Wines, South Africa
