renault winery was founded by louis nicholas renault, a “master vintner” from rheims, france, who came to the united states after phylloxera devastated french vineyards. he first attempted to grow grapes in california, but his vines there succumbed to phylloxera as well. after learning about native american grapes that had a natural resistance to certain diseases and pests, renault moved to new jersey in 1864, purchased land near egg harbor, and planted native grapes varieties such as ives and catawba. he introduced his new jersey champagne by 1870, and the winery grew to become the nation’s largest producer of sparkling wine. in the late 19th century, egg harbor was known as “wine city. ”

nearly a century and a half old, renault winery is a recognized new jersey state historical site and one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in the united states. like a fine varietal, the winery has continued to grow, develop and improve with age. the winery’s story begins in europe, with one man and a tiny, sap - eating insect. master vintner louis nicholas renault was a representative of the ancient champagne house of the duke of montebello in rheims, france when europe was hit by the greatest disaster in the history of wine. the accidental introduction of phylloxera, a parasitic aphid, in the mid 1800s nearly destroyed france’s entire wine industry. in 1855, renault set sail for the new world with hopes of saving his vines and establishing a vineyard free of the insect that had ravished the vines of western europe. renault’s first attempt at an american vineyard took place in california. to his dismay, phylloxera also destroyed the root systems of his californian grapes. it was then that renault learned of a native american grape that grew on the east coast, a grape with a natural resistance to certain pests and disease .

it was a growth even prohibition could not hold back. in 1919 john d' agostino and family bought the winery and continued to operate during the fourteen years of prohibition under a special government permit. this permit allowed the production of wines for religious and medicinal purposes. renault wine tonic, which had an alcoholic content of 22 percent, became the chief product and was sold in drug stores throughout the nation. a label warned “not to chill the tonic, as it would turn into wine which is illegal. ”
that' s a beautiful course at the winery. and we have blue heron pines and galloway national. but the golf bubble has burst. we have a lot of people who depend on (the golf courses) ,

the winery is currently celebrating it' s 150th anniversary, but is scheduled for a sheriff' s sale, so if you want to take the wine tasting tour or hit the buffet, better go quick as it may not be around long .
@ stewienz; they are allowed to call it champagne because louis renault settled on the land and brought over the original grapes from the champagne region of france where he was from. the original soil / grapes / seeds, etc. were from champagne france; thus allowing it to be called champagne. it is a a very interesting story and history of the winery from its inception. it' s a shame that it is up for sheriff sale; and hopefully the new owners will continue the tradition of the 150 years .

beyond, we entered a colder storage room with empty barrels made of white oak. through a wall - length window laurito pointed out the bottling facility. champagne bottles are first chilled to 32 degrees, because champagne bottled at room temperature turns flat and foamy. renault also makes a full range of red and white wines, and boasts that its american white was served at president kennedy' s inaugural ball .

egg harbor city is a misnomer. for one thing, there' s no city, and for another, there' s no harbor. the crossroads was named in hopes of a canal that never materialized. maybe that prepares you for the fact that wine country in south jersey has a different flavor than other wine regions. no pretensions, no fancy talk of a vintage' s nose or bouquet. the 10 of us on the renault tour stood around a counter in the dimly lit tasting room, each with two small plastic cups before us, the kind the dentist gives you and says ,
