Assembling this “super-group” of sparkling experts to launch a world-class product from the Willamette Valley called Lytle-Barnett. In 2019 Andy teamed up with Isabelle Meunier to make his first still wines. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir project is called Aubaine, which means Windfall in French. The first vintages are sourced as a single vineyard, estate project from the Anahata vineyard. Aubaine inaugural release was in June 2021.Andy lives with his family in Washington and proudly serves on the board of the Children’s Cancer Association, having previously helmed the board for seven years.
