Winemaker Eric Donaldson owns the only winery in Lodi that employs the painstaking, laborious process called methode champenoise (or traditional method used to make champagne). In this process, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, leading to elegant expressions noted for long-lasting, fine bubbles. Note: Several Lodi wineries take their still wine to outside wineries that also employ methode champenoise.
