(twah nwah) noun:

Trois Noix was born out of a lifelong love of wine – not only what ends up in the bottle, but also how it got there, what happens when it fills your glass, and how it can bring a table to life and people together. While they love to push the boundaries of convention, their palates still have a classical bent. Their mantra is serious wines that are enjoyable and pleasurable right now – elegant, polished, and approachable but with structure to last.

Just as they let nature do as much of the work as possible in the vineyard, they try to let the wine take the lead once it’s in tank and barrel. They like to take a “less is more” approach to winemaking, using native yeasts whenever possible. Trois Noix believes their job is to guide the wine to its greatest and truest expression. Their hope is that their gentle yet attentive approach allows the wines to have a voice of their own.

The Trois Noix wines are made in collaboration with amazingly talented friends who also happen to be fabulous winemakers and grape-growers. Together they sleuth out compelling wines and grapes that might otherwise go neglected.

Happy Harry’s is excited to be able to bring this exciting new brand to North Dakota for the first time. We had our customers in mind from the start when we first tried these great wines that taste well beyond their price.
