Our wines at The Gifted Ferret are Boutique Wines and are not found in your standard Package, Grocery or Retail Store

Most people define boutique wine as “small production”, “artisanal” or even “cult”.

But what does it really mean for a wine to be boutique? Is the number of bottles a winery makes or the simple fact that the vineyards happen to be in the middle-of-nowhere enough to make it boutique?

There are plenty of large wineries that produce tens of thousands of cases and are thought to be boutique.

If the winemaker is still passionate about his/her craft, the vineyard manager knew every vine, exactly when to harvest the grapes, how delicately they should be crushed… the whole wine operation just must have a sense of purpose that transcended the “business” of producing wine.
