Orin Swift Papillon

We Say: First and foremost, our favourite wine label in the shop and maybe ever! Winemaker Dave Phinney is iconic. Walking in the vineyards one day with his 3 year old daughter on his shoulders and thinking about what to call his next wine, a butterfly flew by and his daughter exclaimed, "Look, a papillon!" Phinney was flummoxed as to where she had picked up the French word for butterfly.
