Besides his changing back labels and terminology; I just noticed that some recent L'Autre Cote bottlings indicate that they are Produced and Bottled by the Steven Kent Vineyards, while earlier bottlings were the L'Autre Cote Wine co. I appreciate your insights shedding light on these offerings. Thanks again.

I know, and have purchased, some of Steven's 'wholesale' blue front label cab franc; I had never come across a white label 'retail' red cab franc. Thanks for posting photos of the product, front and back. I see that others have now created a 'black' label entry. But no pictures. I will definitely be having a conversation with Steven and/or his team. Regarding your 'retail' purchase, did the winery describe the wine as being different than the club allocation effort ( ie, perhaps different vyd blocks, special select barrels, aging treatments, etc.)? was it priced less than the club allocation of $98 ? Last year I bought a blue label 'wholesale' for only $48; but, while tasty, I know it was made somewhat differently.

As an FYI - CAB FRAN BLANC is a white wine for sure, where as L'Autre Cote Cab Franc White Lab is the retail version of the red version (it also comes in Blue Label, and Black Label). Hope this helps. And thanks again for catching my typo. :)
