keep in touch: facebook— flickr — email us Dear friends,
The past few years brought to all of us some moving challenges, but we are emboldened by the hope and promise of a new year! At Boisset, we believe that the future depends on what we do in the present… and that "nothing can stop an idea whose time has come," as Victor Hugo once observed. The wine world inspires us each to dream, aspire and explore new depths in all of our endeavors, whether it’s to farm ever more respectfully in line with nature’s rhythms, create new experiences and products that bring joy and pleasure to our consumers and partners, or share a special bottle with those closest to us. We are very blessed to share this new decade with one another & craft together a successful future wherein wine is ever more prominently a gift and a pleasure. We are excited to share with you our news… the endeavors, initiatives and wines that will forge our future together. This month, we announce the release of the complete new Rabbit family of wines – now spanning the globe to embrace more eco-friendly alternative packaging choices in Tetra Pak cartons and light glass bottles. We are also thrilled to support the good work of Kingsborough Community College in their drive to bring sustainable farming and gardening to the city of Brooklyn, as well as update you further on our successful tasting salon in Healdsburg, where Sonoma and Burgundy unite to educate our guests on Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, from its birthplace to its continuum. Finally, we are proud to announce our new website - www.raymondvineyards.com - where you will be immersed in the wonderful new world we are creating in the heart of Napa Valley. Therefore, do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path & leave a trail! Good luck in this new, exciting & inspiring environment.. my very best wishes for 2011! Bonne année,
Jean-Charles Boisset 
The Rabbit Multiples... Again!

I have purposely waited until after the new year to personally wish you a marvelous, exciting & for sure dynamic 2011... indeed, just a little wiser as a few days older!
The vision of California Rabbit is to be a leader in innovation and eco-friendly products. The light glass bottle reduces packaging by 30% and reduces its carbon footprint by 25%. The eco-conscious Tetra Pak cartons are fun and convenient, and reduce the impact wine makes on the environment. The carton makes up only 4% of the total volume and reduces the wine's carbon footprint by a staggering 52%! 
We are pleased to have seen more than 8,000 guests since opening our doors to the tasting salon in Healdsburg this past July!
Reflecting the evolutions at the winery, and investments in both quality and the guest experience, Raymond Vineyards' new website emphasizes reasons to visit 
Organic and Biodynamic® farming methods have become a way of life at Boisset Family Estates, and we are excited to pursue this certification at our Raymond estate vineyards in Rutherford and St. Helena.  |
