Oregon native Brendan Stater-West may have never imagined his name on a bottle of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc when he took the job at the Paris wine shop that ignited his passions, but it is a reality now.

He apprenticed under Romain Guiberteau and owns his own property in Bizay where he creates his own expressions of Chenin and Cabernet Franc.

Brendan is equally adept at red and white, creating beautifully pure examples of the two Loire favorites.
