Sine Qua Non
---------------- 
NOW IN
STOCK!
----------------

Hello to All Those Who Imbibe,
Richard
I was looking around the store today and noticed how many Sine Qua Non wines we had in stock and thought it might be an appropriate time to tell it's story.
 
Manfred Krankl's passion for making wine was born out of his frustration as a restaurateur at never being able to find California's amazing cult wines.  Manfred's solution came in the form of starting his own winery, Sine Qua Non.  When translated from Latin, Sine Qua Non means "something indispensable."  This phrase embodies the wines of Sine Qua Non in the fact that the same wine is never made twice.  Vineyard sources and varietal composition are changed with each bottling. Several hundred bottles only are produced of some wines, making Sine Qua Non the epitome of quality and collectibility.  The wines of Sine Qua Non are some of the finest wines in the world and some of the most difficult to come by.  You will see many of these wines selling for upwards of $500 or more. 
 
These wines are looking for those that would adore something new and different with outstanding quality and limited availability; or those avid collectors out there looking to invest in unbelievably small production wines.  Below I've put together a comparison chart showing Internet price vs. Imbibe price.  Give it a look over and you'll see why Imbibe is Bakersfield Premier Wine Shop.  Stop in today and check these out before they disappear.
