That winemaker is Frank Gigliotti. Gigliotti, who founded California Cult Classics in 2005, operates from a winery located in the Hamilton district of North Vancouver. From here, he turns out some of the best wines north of Napa. In partnership with his clients, and operating in a licensed private club operation, this enterprising entrepreneur has found a way to make world-class wines using the very best grapes grown in the Napa Valley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur \u2018no compromise\u2019 motto is why we source the finest grapes from Napa Valley,\u201d explains Gigliotti, \u201cBeckstoffer and stagecoach vineyards produce grapes that are generally found in the finest wines made in America. We start with the finest and incorporate the finest winemaking materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"47287\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/california-cult-classics-north-vancouver\/frank-gigliotti\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?fit=620%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"620,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1300879135&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"frank gigliotti\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?fit=620%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47287\" title=\"frank gigliotti\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?resize=620%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"frank gigliotti\" width=\"620\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?w=620&amp;ssl=1 620w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frank-Gigliotti.jpg?resize=465%2C300&amp;ssl=1 465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Using a combination of old-world techniques, patience and cutting-edge technology, no expense is spared. Even the oak barrels are only used once before they are sold, recycled and replaced with 100% new barrels. The result is a selection of varietals that rival the best award-winning California wines.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting his partner growers in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitnapavalley.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Napa Valley<\/a>, Gigliotti personally selects the best grapes, has them picked at 3am at their absolute peak and transported by refrigerator truck directly to his winery. From the moment the grapes arrive he painstakingly applies his craft. Large stainless tanks where the grapes are crushed and fermented use a \u201cpump-over\u201d method that is expensive but reduces sediment. The wines are then aged in new oak barrels because Frank believes the first aging is always the best. A great deal of patience follows, waiting for exactly the right time to bottle which is normally twenty-four months later but can sometimes be as long as twenty-eight. Relying on his own palate, rather than an instrument, Gigliotti tests the tap until exactly the right moment when the wines are ready for bottling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"47285\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/california-cult-classics-north-vancouver\/california-cult-classics-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?fit=1200%2C668&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,668\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"california cult classics (4)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?fit=788%2C439&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47285\" title=\"california cult classics (4)\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?resize=788%2C439&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"california cult classics (4)\" width=\"788\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?resize=1024%2C570&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?resize=768%2C428&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?resize=539%2C300&amp;ssl=1 539w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/California-Cult-Classics-4.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bottling of the wines is perhaps the most impressive and essential element in California Cult Classics process. Relying on a piece of advanced technology specially ordered and manufactured in Italy his process injects Nitrogen through the wines to preserve them without using any sulphites. While fine red wines often use sulphites, they tend to impair flavour and cause those notorious red wine hangovers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinemakers use sulphites because they are cheap and do the job,\u201d says Gigliotti, \u201cWe use Nitrogen to preserve the wines indefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Business is booming for the best kept secret on the North Shore. In the last year, a time when COVID-19 has driven triple-digit growth in online wines sales, California Cult Classics has experienced dramatic growth and a continued mission to achieve the perfect bottle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerfection is not an accident; we work very hard to make wines that can compete with the finest in the world. I come to work every day knowing that I haven&#8217;t yet made my finest wine.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial; font: initial; font-feature-settings: initial; font-kerning: initial;
