Do you need a winemaker - to make good wine? The answer is YES - but you don't need to give the winemaker credit! Apparently, Cameron Hughes purchases the bulk of left over reserve juice from wineries that have too much on hand at a fraction of the cost. He then blends, labels, and releases these great tasting wines at affordable prices, passing on the value to the consumer.
