I've mentioned Stephane Derencourt and the great work he's done at Boxwood Winery previously. Well, now he is going to be consulting for a second American winery, Francis Ford Coppola. If he does the same things for the Coppolla brand that he has done for Boxwood it should be interesting:

"California wines are often easy to taste but difficult to drink. I intend to do something different," the Frenchman said. In addition to the two US consultancies he is about to release the 'Derenoncourt' label made at Cuvaison and John Caldwell wineries.
