Since 2015, Bertrand’s Wines has been building a Bourgogne and Beaujolais centric portfolio of wines crafted by Vignerons that are deeply rooted in their terroirs (or climat in Bourgogne).
“Most importantly, we want to work with growers and not winemakers, people who are close to their vineyards and that think about the mark they will leave in the village and their appellation and land they will hand to their children. We have a people first mentality and are focused on promoting the region as a whole and not simply the shiny villages. We have a great range of wines that are reflecting the very best of their village at all price points and it is important to me to be able to tell anyone that they can absolutely afford to drink Domaine Burgundy if they are willing to explore that Land of Opportunities.”
What separates Bertrand’s Wines from other companies: almost 3 months a year spent in Burgundy visiting, tasting, exploring and listening… having boots in the vineyards but also eyes and ears in the region is essential to finding the best new generation of growers and the most amazing appellations you may have never heard about.
Our logo is the best representation of our focus and heritage, at the center of it is the shield of the region of Burgundy, to its left is the shield of Beaujolais and to its right, the shield of the town of Bourbourg (near Dunkirk) where Bertrand’s great-grandmother Emma ran “Madame Leulliette”, her wine store, by herself, from 1922 while raising 10 children (she gave birth to 12 children) from 2 marriages. She was then joined by her daughter Marguerite (Margot) until Emma passed in 1958.

Happy 🍷🍷 Long Shadows is, at its heart, a family of seven wineries. Each flagship label has its own winemaking approach and philosophy, inspired by the individuals behind the wine. Yet all of the labels share the same foundation: meticulously sourced fruit, a world-class winery, and exacting attention to detail every step of the way.
At its core, their approach is simple: make the best wine possible, every step of the way. They believe the most important decisions are sometimes the smallest. .shadows

Happy 🍷🍷 We are thrilled to represent synclinewinery portfolio at both and 🥳
syncline (‘sin-klin) - a trough of stratified rock in which the beds dip toward each other from either side.
Poppie and James met during the harvest of 1997 while working together in the cellar in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where James had been winemaking since 1994. Shortly after, they fell madly in love and began plans for a new endeavor: a vineyard of their own.
Lured by the majestic wildness of the mountains and whitewater rivers, they relocated their home to the Columbia River Gorge. Their passion for Rhône and sparkling wines led them to explore the emerging potential of vineyards in Washington State.
Inspired by the early efforts of Rhône and Burgundy-style wines sampled from Washington vineyards, Syncline’s first vintage in 1999 consisted of 76 cases of Celilo Vineyard Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1973. They were part of the small group that founded the Columbia Gorge AVA in 2004.
They have built a strong reputation as a creative, limited-production, autonomous estate winery with a vision of creating world-class wines while maintaining biodynamic estate vineyards, green building practices, and innovative wine growing.
With 19 acres of estate vineyards in the Columbia Gorge and winegrower partners in Red Mt, Yakima, and Horse Heaven Hills, production is kept under 5,000 cases annually to ensure intimacy with each barrel and vine.

We are very excited to welcome Justin Girardin to both our Oregon and Washington portfolios!
The Girardin family has been in Burgundy since 1570. The more recent history of the family began following World War II when Jean Girardin established his winery in Santenay. In the early 1980s, Jean divided his estate amongst his four children, with his three sons establishing their own domaines: Vincent Girardin of today’s eponymous
domaine, Yves Girardin which since 2017 has been known as Domaine Pierre-Vincent Girardin, and Jacques, Justin’s father, who he joined in 2013 and officially took over from in 2017. Justin is the 13th generation to grow vines in Burgundy, and today he manages a domaine of 17 hectares from Santenay to Savigny-les-Beaune. The
vineyards are planted with historic massal selections from the family, and the vines are sustainably farmed incorporating the biodynamic calendar and principles for treatments and wine making.
The White Wines are whole cluster pressed followed by cool, ambient fermentations that begin in vats and are completed in mostly neutral barrels. For the Red Wines, the fruit is fully destemmed and naturally vinified in
vat with native yeasts. All of the reds undergo a 5-day pre fermentation cold soak, followed by a 15 day fermentation between 26 & 30˚ C. For a more gentle extraction, Justin does not do pigeage but prefers
only pump overs. Barrel aging lasts 12-18 months in mostly neutral oak.
All wines are in stock in both our Oregon and Washington warehouses, please inquire with your sales rep to learn more!

When Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted their first vines in the Dundee Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) of the Willamette Valley 1971, they needed all of their youthful self-confidence, energy and determination to make their way because, at the time, there was no wine industry in Oregon. Today, with over 900 wineries and more than 37,000 acres of planted vineyards, Oregon has grown exponentially, and its wines are available throughout the world. Sokol Blosser has survived, grown, and prospered as a family-owned and run operation, and they are proud to have been part of developing and shaping Oregon’s now prominent wine industry.
From the start, the Sokol Blossers were aware of the impact that farming and wine production would have on the environment. Today, the second-generation winegrowers of Sokol Blosser continue this ‘good to earth’ policy through certified-organic farming, sustainable business practices and low impact packaging. In 2002 Sokol Blosser became the first US winery to receive LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification. In April 2015, they went through the rigorous process to become a Certified B Corporation.
We are beyond thrilled to welcome Sokol Blosser and Evolution to both our and portfolios! Please reach out to your local Galaxy Oregon or Galaxy Washington rep to learn more!

Our Oregon Sales Team was lucky to spend the afternoon at earlier this year. It was truly a memorable experience filled with beautiful wines, incredible food, and captivating stories. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!
Located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Abbott Claim is perched atop the Savannah Ridge, a 170-acre boundary that hosts some of the oldest soils in the Willamette Valley. As the next generation of stewards of this land, the team has implemented organic and regenerative farming practices in the vineyard and its surroundings since 2018, crafting examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that truly speak to place.
Before settler John F. Abbott “claimed” it, this swath of the Savannah Ridge was pristine meadow and forest. Then the Oregon Donation Land Law of 1850 brought settlers, farmers, and speculators here—to cultivate, abandon, and ultimately divide it. Over the years, Abbott Claim has reassembled the pieces into a vibrant mosaic of wild natural habitat and lovingly tended vines. History cannot be undone, but they have made it their mission to restore the ecology of this remarkable place.
Their reverent winemaking approach aims to capture and present the primal character of the vineyard. Their Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are complex and naturally balanced expressions of place, upholding the unique character of each vineyard through elegant structure.
Their fruit is beautiful, fragrant, and flavorful in its raw form. They do not use their hands to mold it to their liking, but rather to help preserve its natural integrity. When those hands become stained, crevassed and cut, it is not because they’ve conceived a wine to fit an image of their own creation, but because they’ve carefully watched over a process well beyond their influence, one guided by nature.

The Terraneo family has been producing incredible wines at Castelvecchio since 1986, the estate itself has been pouring out delicious wine since the 1700s!
Today the family works together to focus on promoting the great wines of Friuli using organic practices.
Castelvecchio Azienda Agricola is one of Friuli's historical wineries. They've been producing delicious wines since 1780. The Terraneo family has been working their magic in the vineyards and cellars at Castelvecchio since 1986.
The Carso region where they are located has gone through a long history of challenges, but this region has always held onto its rolling vineyards and continued strength in its wine production. Today the family works together to focus on promoting the great wines of Friuli using organic practices.⁠
You’ve most likely seen Luca a lot on Friuli Italian Wines socials, and for a good reason! Their Malvasia has won the Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri award, and their other wines are always best sellers.
Personally, we recommend always having a bottle of their Cabernet Franc on hand. For your white wine lovers, you gotta try Vitovska! 🥂

Wine runs deep in the Faiveley family’s blood, as they have been deeply rooted in Bourgogne, its history, and its culture for almost two centuries now. Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work. Today they are one of the largest owners in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, featuring polished, collectible reds and whites with exceptionally high ratings.
We had the pleasure of having Erwan Faiveley, Vintner of Faiveley, in Seattle. Erwan has always been a lover of Burgundy and its wines. In 2005, he succeeded his father and immediately invested in new equipment in order to pursue the quest for excellence undertaken by his ancestors. He works to create wines that reveal their potential from an early age and have excellent aging potential. The 2007 vintage then imprints the new style of the estate.
Erwan went over the new 2022 Vintage release and had some wonderful vintaged wines to share also! Thank you to, .seattle and Erwan Faiveley for such a wonderful time! Cheers!
