We’re excited to share that VinePair recently featured Will Jones, Chief Operating Officer and Wine Director of Deep Roots Restaurant Group, in its article exploring which expensive Bordeaux wines are actually worth the splurge.

In the feature, Will points to Château d’Yquem as his top pick. While it stands apart from the red Bordeaux wines many collectors first think of, he notes that this legendary dessert wine is absolutely worth seeking out, especially for a special occasion meant to be shared with friends.

His perspective in the article highlights what makes great wine so memorable in the first place: not just prestige, but the experience of opening something truly exceptional and enjoying it in good company. That philosophy is a natural reflection of the way we think about hospitality at The Hope Farm and across Deep Roots Restaurant Group — wine should feel exciting, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the moment.

We’re proud to see Will included in a national conversation about iconic wines and the bottles that continue to inspire professionals across the industry.
