Folie à Deux is a California winery founded in 1981 by two psychiatrists who chose the French phrase meaning “a madness shared by two” to represent the spirit of their project. The brand was built on the idea of wine as something to be enjoyed together, not as a stiff or intimidating ritual, but as a shared pleasure. In 2004, it became part of Trinchero Family Estates, one of the largest family-owned wine groups in Napa Valley, which gave the label a wider reach while keeping its accessible personality intact.

The winery is best known today for its Ménage à Trois line, a collection that embodies playfulness and indulgence. Ménage à Trois Red in particular has become one of the most recognized blends in the United States, often celebrated as the bottle that brought casual drinkers and wine enthusiasts onto common ground. Rather than pursuing the exclusivity of estate-specific wines, it leans into generosity of flavor, richness, and an easygoing charm that makes it appealing to a wide audience.

The 2022 Ménage à Trois Red continues that tradition. It is crafted from a mix of classic California grapes, drawing on Zinfandel for ripe intensity, Merlot for smoothness, and Cabernet Sauvignon for structure. The result is a wine that opens with lush fruit, fills the palate with velvety texture, and finishes softly, making it as enjoyable on its own as it is alongside a meal. The philosophy behind it is consistent: wine should be fun, approachable, and a little bit daring. The combination of name, style, and taste has made this brand iconic, and the 2022 release captures exactly why it resonates so strongly.
