Knudsen Vineyards: The Suitcase Clone Mystery
In the 1970s, American Pinot obsessives allegedly smuggled vine cuttings from Burgundy's greatest vineyards in their personal luggage. Joseph Swan's famous selection - now called the Swan Clone - may have come from Romanée-Conti itself. At Knudsen Vineyards, one of Oregon's original 1971 plantings, the hunt for these legendary 'suitcase clones' becomes detective work. Can you taste the difference between legally imported clones and the mysterious contraband?
