Few figures in American wine are as captivating as Christophe Baron. Born and raised in Champagne, he arrived in Washington’s Walla Walla Valley in the mid-1990s and, defying all convention, planted vines among the valley’s cobblestones. What began as a gamble has since become legend—a portfolio of cult wines that forever changed the perception of Washington wine. From Cayuse to No Girls to Horsepower, each project bears Baron’s visionary hand yet expresses its own identity, shaped by vine density, farming philosophy, and an unwavering devotion to terroir. With nearly 90% of his wines sold directly to devoted club members, this marks the first time Christophe’s wines have been available in Wisconsin retail. Bill Gardner, Brand Manager for North American Wines at Left Bank Wine & Spirits, will lead a tasting featuring six of these remarkable wines—some of which have earned perfect 100 Point scores from the world’s most respected critics.
