Former fisheries guy David Yorgensen makes seriously hard-to-find wines using a minimalist approach: he skips the fining and filtering so you get ripe fruit and natural acidity doing all the talking. Think textured Cabernet blends, Diamond Mountain Cab, and balanced Chardonnay that only exist if you buy direct from him.
