I visited the De Moor winery in 1993 while touring the region. I came across it by change and with my family name being “de Moor”, I had to stop and ask. The Belgian (Flemish) way of writing the family name is 2 words with a captial “D”. In the Netherlands it’s a lowercase “d”. Now you know 😉

Irene – that is going back a ways. In 1990 they were selling 375 bottles of Fie Doux for $11 🙂 I suspect it might be hard to find some of those older vintages these days as they were probably mostly consumed back then.

Bill – thanks for the date mention. I did a little more research; ownership purchased the winery in 1983 and renamed it to DeMoor Winery & Vineyards. As you mentioned, I’m guessing they bottled the earlier vintage(s) at some point as DeMoor.

This profile has been one of the hardest to write over the years of all our Napa reviews, because of all the changes in ownership and name changes over the decades. In addition we have never been able to connect with anyone at the winery who really knows the history of the property. We have tried to reach out several times to their winemaking team. So we just pop by every now and then and purchase wines to update to our tasting notes on our profile here.

Wish you would’ve kept some of the fie dough from the 1990 era that was my first experience of dessert wine or where can I get some like that

I have several bottles of DeMoor Cabernet Sauvignon with a vintage date of 1982, a year before the reported purchase of the winery by the Belgian family in 1983. Either the reported date of purchase of the winery is wrong, or the new owners bottled the wine from the vintage before their 1983 purchase and labeled it 1982.
The wine has been in my temperature controlled cellar since about 1998, and before that was in a cellar on Martha’s Vineyard. I bought it at an estate sale. It is in good condition, although it tastes like old wine, slightly brown, but definitely not spoiled. Would you like me to send you the labels?
