Michel Rolland joined the team as their consultant in 2010.

Quintessa Faust, which made its debut in 2002 is designed as their second wine. The wine is made from a combination of young vines, declassified lots of Quintessa and purchased grapes. The majority of Faust comes from the purchased fruit.

And of course Michel Rolland has been a great influence on me, pushing me always to improve things in the vineyard and winery. He has become a great friend and mentor, and we work well together.

>Anyway, to the connection. World-renowned wine consultant Michel Rolland sucked Patricia Kluge dry and she basically went bankrupt building out one of the best wineries in the US even though she lived off the divorce settlement of the interest of an 11 billion dollar estate.

Aug 19, 2016 - According to event details obtained by The Citizen, Deacon, D-Syracuse, will attend a lunch and wine pairing Saturday at Quintessa Winery, a lavish estate in California's Napa Valley owned by Valeria and Agustin Huneeus.

Agustin and Valeria Huneeus have given thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and larger sums to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats' campaign arm.

Chris Pack, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Deacon's attendance at the event is another example of her connection to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi, whose district is in California, is also scheduled to appear at the event.

January 23, 1995 - Urged on by tablemates Frank and Kay Woods and Paul Pelosi, Agustin Huneeus, who owns the Estancia and Franciscan wineries, bartered his table's half-finished bottle of Chateau La Mission-Haut- Brion for a quarter-filled Chateau Margaux (one of the golden oldies; an '81 Margaux is on the menu at Campton Place for $225) from the Getty table.
