local winery called <a href=\"http:\/\/clossolene.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Clos Solene<\/a>.\u00a0 We had not heard of them prior  to that but after tasting through the three wines and chatting with Guillaume,  the owner and winemaker as well as his wife Solene, we talked about going out  to the winery to do an interview.<\/p>\n<p>We  met  up with Guillaume this past weekend out at L\u2019Aventure, which is where he  is the  assistant winemaker and also where he makes his own label.\u00a0 He hand crafts  his two  to three hundred case project, called Clos Solene.\u00a0 When we say hand  craft, we  literally mean that his two hands do every aspect of the process; from vines,  to  grapes, to pruning, to harvesting, to hand turning the barrels.\u00a0 Passion  and  dedication are what allow him to work ten to twelve hours per day at  L\u2019Aventure  during harvest and then numerous more hours on his own project.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_447\"

his father on their vineyard property.\u00a0 He carries  on many of these traditions now as he makes wine, and he also has some  of his own creative processes.\u00a0 Either way, the wines that he produces  are all incredibly unique and the attention that he puts into each  detail shows in the end result.\u00a0 We loved everything that he let us get  our hands on!<\/p>\n<figure
