Producer Description

Founded in 2005, Matchbook Wine Company is owned and operated by the Giguiere family, John, wife Lane and his brother Karl. Previously they owned and operated R.H. Philips on land that was part of their family farm in the Dunnigan Hills of northwestern Yolo County. Starting as a small family owned vineyard and winery the company grew into a 750,000 case producer sourced mostly from estate fruit from their 2,500 acre vineyard which is rare for such a large producer. After selling R.H.Phillips the Giguiere family started Crew Wine Company, now Matchbook Wine Company. Before joining the Matchbook team, winemaker Dan Cederquist worked at Stag’s Leap and De Loach.Matchbook produces wines meant to explore the terroir of Dunnigan Hills and the California coast. To that end, the team has spent a great deal of time identifying and nurturing just the varieties that adapt well in this environment. Occasionally, a small percentage of coastal fruit is included to intensify natural aromas and flavors. The name Matchbook is a tongue in cheek homage to John and his brother’s childhood when they used to get into trouble for lighting matches and setting off rockets.

To enjoy this Arsonist Dunnigan Hills Chardonnay, simply open the bottle carefully. Pour it into a wine glass, allowing it to breathe for a few minutes to enhance the flavors. It’s best served at a moderate temperature, around 55 – 60°F. Remember to drink responsibly. Store the wine in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the cork moist if it’s a cork – sealed bottle. This wine pairs well with a variety of foods, such as grilled chicken, seafood pasta, and creamy cheeses.
