(BEVERAGE DYNAMICS, 2016) - SOUTHWEST WINES IS A FAMILY-OWNED WINERY located in New Mexico. The company was founded by Hervé Lescombes, who ran a winery in Burgundy with his father before planting in the U.S. in 1981. Southwest’s brands include St. Clair Winery, Soleil Mimosa, D. H. Lescombes, and Blue Teal Vineyards. I recently spoke to Florent Lescombes, Hervé’s son and a sixth-generation winemaker who manages the winery’s operations.

Dear Wine Lover,

I absolutely flipped when I tasted these Mimosa's...and quickly put together this deal (frankly, I wanted some for my own Valentines).
