The story

The story behind Menage A Trois

Menage A Trois started in 1996, founded by two psychiatrists in California who built the label on a simple idea: blend three grapes instead of one. Trinchero Family Estates bought the brand in 2004 and kept the approach. The Chardonnay program follows the same logic, drawing fruit from Monterey, Santa Barbara and Mendocino to layer flavor rather than chase a single vineyard.

What separates it from lean, steely Chardonnay is the cellar work. The juice goes through malolactic fermentation and rests sur lie in a mix of French and American oak, which is why the wine tastes creamy and round instead of sharp. We have poured it for years to customers who want a rich California white without the rich California price.
