J Vineyards & Winery makes two delicious specialty wines produced in very limited quantity: Ratafia dessert wine and J Pear Liqueur.

Inspired by the tradition in the small towns of Champagne, France, our Ratafia is made by adding brandy to an unfermented blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir juices. The fortified wine is then aged in French oak barrels. It develops beautiful golden color and rich viscosity, with delicious character of butterscotch, vanilla, peaches and toasted almonds.

Our J Pear Liqueur is a twice-distilled pear eau-de-vie. It's made from Bosc pears distilled into a brandy, then infused with de-ionized water (rain water) and liquid sugar. The sugar broadens the palate and takes away some of the heat, allowing the pear essence to shine though. Other rich characters explode in the glass, too, like butterscotch, chamomile, vanilla and apple pie. This quaff is especially delicious with our recipe for J Pear Liqueur Tiramisu!
