2020 marked the 40th anniversary of the founding of Tonnellerie Francaise (Nadalié USA) in Calistoga, CA, and oh what a year it was. We had planned to celebrate this milestone with family, dedicated staff, and loyal partners who have been instrumental in getting us to this point. Instead, as we all grappled with a global pandemic, our beloved wine country was hit yet again with another round of devastating wildfires (along with other regions in California, Washington, and Oregon).

We, like so many others, were forced to cancel plans, postpone travel, and shelter in place while facing so many unknowns. Now that there’s light at the end of the tunnel we can reflect on some silver linings and lessons learned. Personally and professionally, 2021 and beyond will be a time of recovery and there are still many challenges ahead. But every new year brings hope of new possibilities, and we will continue to work hard and focus on strengthening our communities and supporting each other. 

Whether it’s a new collaboration or long-standing partnership, we are extremely grateful to each relationship that has helped to shape our business in a positive way. We look forward to working with you in the year to come.

Sincerely, 

Vincent Nadalié
