About us
Saignée, from the French, means bleed which I suppose is an excessively evocative title for a wine blog. Luckily it also refers to a method of making rosé wines, which makes more sense, though it loses much of the connotation of violence. As for myself, i’m not a very violent person by nature, but I certainly enjoy bled wines. As for me (cory), i am currently located in Oakland California, and i am part owner of Selection Massale. My wife, Emily, is a civil engineer who is building a railroad to the moon (or i least I hope she is because i would love to visit) or barring that, levees. The wines i enjoy usually fall under the category of “esoteric,” (lately I have been drinking more and more wines from small grower/producers, organic and biodynamic winemakers and low or no sulfite wines) or not the standardized wines we have come to find everywhere. i’ll give everything at least a chance (or at least a scowl when i pass the bottle in a store).

interesting blog :)
Hi Cory, I was just turned onto your blog by a friend. I am far from a technophile, and was wondering if there was a way to receive your blog via email rather than checking your site on an erratic basis?
Thank you so much,
Greg McClellan, Trisaetum Winery
Do you have an RSS reader? That’s about the best way to deal with the blog avalanche.
