In Reply to: Contact number for Scott-Clark? posted by Eden Mylunsch on October 23, 2000 at 16:28:39:
Eden, as far as I know Scott-Clark is a 'vin de garage' still run by Tony Scott, cousin of the Wine Asylum's very own Andrew Scott (my source for the precious bottle). I wouldn't be at all surprised as to the details that you refer to--my attitude at the time was pretty much 'thanks for the wine, I'll ask no uncomfortable questions about it.' ;-)Callahan did a nice piece on them a while back (he might have a contact number, I don't), but the details of their various scrapes with authorities escape me. I do know they ran into a bit of trouble a few years back for their experiments with redwood and pine barrel aging for their reds--I'm not sure what became of that program, but the 2000 chardonnay that we had (tank sample) a few nights ago was HUGE (14.5%)--a big change from the elegant, light 1999--and apparently sees no wood whatsoever, something that I find wonderfully refreshing coming out of California. From what I hear Tony's a bit of a 'character,' but the wine sure reflects his 'why ruin good grapes with oak' ethos.
On a strangely coincidental note, my wife roomed at college with a member of the Kimberly-Clark family. I wonder if there's a six-degrees kind of connection there... ?
