What's more, it's come to symbolize the special connection the Kings have with their cherished family vineyard. Owned and operated by Rod and his brother the slightly Don, temperatures King Family Vineyard enjoys and soil with a little more clay than the vineyards in the south. This environment that special precautions is so hospitable to grape vines are taken to ensure growth is properly controlled. In addition to judicial pruning, the Kings use a rare trellising system called the "Double Scott Henry" to increase light exposure. The result is a concentrated, high-quality grape that's as distinctive as the family that grew it. Which is why every single grape used to make Sandhill Pinot Gris comes exclusively from the King Family Vineyard. And it's why, like each and every bottle of Sandhill, the single vineyard designation is proudly displayed on the label. Sandhill.

Born in the nightclubs and back alleys of big-city America, jazz has morphed from a raucous amalgam of blues and ragtime into a thrillingly diverse and distinctly American form of music. Jazz is democracy in action: a dichotomous mix of artistic autonomy and inter•dependence, improvisation and structure that evolves with the times without shedding its past. Be it fast or mellow, raucous or refined, jazz has something for evecy taste. What's your flavour? ChiliPeppers at the1993MTV Video Awards ceremony.
