About the Producer

Sine Qua Non is one of California’s benchmark “cult” wineries, founded in 1993 by Austrian-born Manfred Krankl and his wife Elaine in Ventura County. What started with just a few barrels of Syrah bottled as “Queen of Spades” has grown into a tiny but globally coveted operation, famous for long mailing-list waits and high auction prices. The name, Latin for “absolutely indispensable,” reflects the Krankls’ ambition to make singular wines that stand apart from convention rather than follow it.
