About Miner Family Winery: “Miner is a dynamic family-owned winery tucked along the eastern hills of the Oakville appellation in the heart of Napa Valley. Founded in 1998 by Dave and Emily Miner, Miner Family Winery crafts reserve-style wines by sourcing fruit from Napa Valley and other specially selected California vineyards.”

Mine, All Mine

TASTING NOTES: “Sourced from low-yielding vineyards in Napa Valley, our Chardonnay is characterized by crisp apple, ripe melon and citrus flavors gently balanced with toasty French oak. Our winemaker uses a malolactic fermentation in moderation to retain the wine’s bright acidity. More than a decade after Chardonnay put us on the map, this wine remains a classic.” (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.82, TA 0.54 g/100mL)

VARIETALS: 100% Chardonnay

BARRELS: 10 months in 60% French oak, 30% new, and 40% stainless steel.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Mine.

The word, I mean. Nothing that I have. Except for my interest in etymology, I guess. Mine, as in to dig, has a pretty clear lineage to it. From English you go to Old French, still mine, and from French you go to Medieval and Late Latin, where it’s mina. Mina, rather than referring to the hole or the act, refers to the ore itself.

But here’s the twist: mina isn’t rooted in Latin. Like, old Latin or Ancient Greek. It’s actually borrowed from Gaulish, which in turn comes from Celtic and Proto-Celtic languages! Incredible!
