2021 White Table Wine

At the end of May 2020 amidst quarantine we had an idea and acted quickly to bring it to life. The wine was a great success and we decided to produce it one more time in the 2021 vintage as we just didn’t want to let it go!

We created HEART to celebrate our Winery, our Community and our Earth. We wanted to create something special in the bottle and send Love and Heart out into our world.

We wanted to make a new Channing Daughters wine, taking advantage of the wonderful raw materials we had in the cellar and produce a new symphonic white blend! A response to our current situation. A wine that over-delivers Deliciousness and Joy and celebrates our Winery and our Community that is helping our small business and winery and vineyard survive during these crazy days.

After blending the wine, we began brainstorming about the name and label and all that seemed appropriate was "Heart". The idea, the word, the image, the love, the organ, the metaphor, the abstraction. We imagined a series of labels inspired by Heart and Channing Daughters Winery. We wanted 12 different labels of Love and Heart to adorn the wine and fill the case. We wanted local artists, deeply connected to us and the winery. So, we asked a dozen stellar humans/local artists to create special artwork for this wine inspired by "Heart". We couldn't be more thrilled with what they all came up with and with this Gem of a wine and the Joy and Beauty created by this collaboration with our community and friends. We hope it brings the same joy and deliciousness and love and heart into your world and home. ❤

Our 2021 Heart is a symphonic white blend that combines the best of seven grape varieties. This is made from 29% Muscat Ottonel, 21% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Grigio, 18% Tocai Friulano, 6% Gewurztraminer, 5% Pinot Bianco and 1 % Malvasia. Our 2021 Heart is an exotic, symphonic white blend bolstered by aromatic bursts of Muscat aromas, fleshed out by the Pinots and Chard, with added verve, freshness and geometry provided by the Gewurz and Tocai Friulano. This is a complex and unique white wine full of deliciousness and life. The texture is plump and beguiling with cleansing acidity and a long finish. The aromas and flavors are piercing and range in fruit character from citrus to tree to stone to tropical. The Muscat really promotes those exotic, tropical, alluring aromatics. It can be hard to put the glass down. There is a generosity coupled with raciness in this dry wine that is quite satisfying and keeps one coming back for more. The Chardonnay and the Muscat/Pinot Grigio/Pinot Bianco were all fermented ambiently/wild in stainless steel. The Gewurztraminer was also fermented wild/ambiently on its skins and the Tocai was inoculated and fermented separately in stainless steel. After eight months on their lees the wines were blended together into a stainless steel tank. Our 2021 Heart was bottled on June 9th, 2022. This wine will pair beautifully with so many foods from the bounty of our bays and ocean that offer up a plethora of fish and shellfish to fresh local goat and cow's milk cheeses. Simply prepared summer and autumn veggies. Pastas, poultry and light pork and veal preps. Our Heart would easily stand up to some lightly spiced fare as well, so have fun and experiment with this one, you will love it!

$20 bottle full-retail, that's a crazy price we know, but we want you to take advantage and be able to drink more great wine for less. We produced 1088 cases of this wine and we encourage you all to buy it by the case. We labeled the wine so it would allow us to have all 12 different artists' work in each limited-edition box. Get a case and get them all!*

2020 Red Table Wine

At the end of May 2020 amidst quarantine we had an idea and acted quickly to bring it to life. We created HEART/Artists Series 2019 White Wine to celebrate our Winery, our Community and our Earth. We wanted to create something special in the bottle and send Love and Heart out into our world. We wanted to make a new Channing Daughters wine, taking advantage of the wonderful raw materials we had in the cellar. A wine that over-delivered Deliciousness and Joy and celebrates our Winery and our Community!

After blending the first wine, we began brainstorming about the name and label and all that seemed appropriate was "Heart". The idea, the word, the image, the love, the organ, the metaphor, the abstraction. We imagined a series of labels inspired by Heart and Channing Daughters Winery. We wanted 12 different labels of Love and Heart to adorn the wine and fill the case. We wanted local artists, deeply connected to us and the winery. So, we asked a dozen stellar humans/local artists to create special artwork for this wine inspired by "Heart". We couldn't be more thrilled with what they all created and with the Joy and Beauty engendered by this collaboration with our community and friends.

The wine was received wonderfully and left us wanting to do this one more time as we always want to send more Heart out into the world. But this time we created a wine from the fruit of the 2020 vintage that we grew and harvested during our shutdown. We wanted it to be equally special and of course different so this time it is a dynamic, delicious red wine. And we were lucky enough to collaborate with a whole new crew of incredible Artists/Humans who are connected to our community and winery. Once again this has been an incredible journey to deliciousness and we are so excited to share our new 2020 Heart / Artists series Red wine with you. We hope it brings the same joy and deliciousness and love and heart into your world and your home. ❤

Our 2020 Heart / Artist series Red wine is a symphonic red blend that combines the best of five grape varieties. This is made from 48% Merlot, 22% Dornfelder, 11% Refosco, 10% Syrah and 9% Petit Verdot. You can imagine the wine as a dynamic red blend bolstered by aromatic bursts of exotic red-fruited Refosco, fleshed out by briary dark Dornfelder berries, with added verve, freshness and geometry provided by the Petit Verdot and Syrah all balanced together by plump, satisfying, enveloping ripe Merlot. This is a complex and unique red wine full of deliciousness and life. The texture is plump and beguiling with cleansing acidity, moderate alcohol and a long finish. The aromas and flavors are ripe, deep, savory, pleasure-filled and range in fruit character from red to blue to black fruit and berries. The texture is silken, giving and it can be hard to put the glass down. There is a generosity coupled with raciness in this dry red wine that is quite satisfying and keeps one coming back for more.

All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed and fermented ambiently/wild in small bins. Punched down by hand and shovel until fermentation was complete then raised in stainless steel and older/neutral oak barrels for eight months before bottling on May 21st, 2021.

Our 2020 Heart / Artists series Red wine is as comfortable at a summer picnic luncheon as it is in the winter on a white tablecloth with fancy glassware. Super versatile with foods, people and places this wine will pair beautifully with the astounding bounty of our farms, fields, bays and ocean that offer up a plethora of vegetables, meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, cheeses, fruits and more. Simply prepared summer and autumn veggies. Striped Bass, smoked bluefish, black sea bass, blackfish, scallops, baked clams, pastas, poultry, pork, beef and veal preps are all going to work. In fact this wine pairs wonderfully with anything anyone makes with "Heart"! Our 2020 Heart red wine will easily match with foods that range from lightly poached or sautéed all the way through grilled and braised, so have fun and experiment with this one, you will love the possibilities it presents.

We produced 618 cases of this wine and we encourage you all to buy it by the case. We labeled the wine so it would allow us to have all 12 different artists' work in each limited-edition box. Get a case and get them all!*
