To close out NYFW, Mr. Roberts hosted the second installment of the Vanguard Supper Series at @aretskyspatroon

The Vanguard dinner was created to bring together men under 40 who are excelling across industries for an evening of meaningful conversation, new perspectives, and genuine connection.

Two things continue to prove true: people are craving connection, and when strangers come together and speak honestly, incredible things can happen.

Thank you to @rhone for your support #mrroberts #vanguardsupper #vanguarddinnerseries

A night in Tribeca celebrating an American icon. Hosted by Michael Williams of @acontinuouslean at @fouquets.newyork, we gathered friends, media, and a few familiar faces to mark the launch of the Vogel x @newmansown Roper Boot—inspired by Paul Newman’s original Vogel boots and a legacy that continues to resonate today.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening.

American Crafted Since 1879.

These look like something out of the Lorax.

Forty-year-old Chardonnay in Knights Valley, in a block called West Block. At some point Knights Bridge stopped trellising it and started training every vine by hand into a head — a ring of canopy pulled up and over the fruit, notched into the top of a stake.

From the row they read as little trees. Truffula, basically.

It isn’t for looks. The canopy shades its own fruit, which matters because nothing here gets irrigated. The block is dry-farmed, so the vines go looking for water instead of waiting for it. Yields dropped when they made the switch. That was the trade, and they took it.

Swipe through and watch it narrow. Sonoma, then Knights Valley — 36,000 acres with only about 2,000 planted, two wineries in the whole appellation. Then the estate. Then one block out of seventeen. Everything in that bottle comes from that one shape on the map.

They’ve been working this single plot for years now, adjusting it season by season, and what’s coming out of it at this point is genuinely special Chardonnay. Nobody had to farm it this way. They did it anyway.

Little trees on a hillside, making something nobody else is making.

Introducing Perspective V Spring/Summer 2026⁠
⁠
For Perspective V, we headed north to Knights Bridge Winery, tucked into the hills of Knights Valley, about 75 miles from San Francisco. Though it sits on the edge of Napa, it feels worlds away from the familiar wine trail. The winding roads, quiet vineyards, and sense of discovery make arriving there feel like uncovering a well-kept secret.⁠
⁠
When our friend John Bailey invited us to spend the day, we jumped at the opportunity. As he drove us through the property in an electric Moke, he shared the story of his family's patient stewardship of the estate. The vineyards were acquired in 2006, but the tasting room didn't open until 2021—a reminder that the finest things are rarely rushed. They are built over years through thoughtful decisions, persistence, and care.⁠
That philosophy mirrors the spirit of this collection.⁠
⁠
Perspective V centers on Solbiati, the renowned Italian mill founded in 1874 and celebrated for producing some of the world's finest linens and linen-cotton blends. Rich textures, vibrant colors, and expressive patterns capture the ease of an Italian summer while remaining perfectly suited to Northern California's warm days and cool evenings.⁠
⁠
As the morning fog gave way to bright sunshine over Knights Valley, the collection felt completely at home. Tailoring that embraces color, breathability, and relaxed elegance belonged just as naturally among the vineyards as it would along the Amalfi Coast.⁠
⁠
Perspective V is ultimately about what happens when patience, craftsmanship, and a genuine love for making things well are allowed to take their time. Whether in a vineyard or a tailoring workshop, the result is something quietly beautiful—made without pretension, and built to endure.⁠

More to come…
