tastings!

As often as possible, we host you. We pour wines. Rarely ours alone. How can we welcome you without the presence of our friends?

Soon, we should have a more permanent place to receive you.

We have one tasting scheduled at the moment in Los Angeles. I am working on another in NYC very soon.

Magic Bottling in Los Angeles!

I had this idea last year, in the cold, dim, wasteland of early February, to abandon the usual machine-bottling of our Spring Release, and, instead, to get some friends together and bottle a few bottles by hand. The old-fashioned way. We did it and it was wonderful.

We are doing the same thing this year, but in an utterly new venue. We are going to truck the wine down to Los Angeles and bottle there. And if everything goes very well indeed, this will happen in our new home.

We will bottle 138 bottles each of nine wines, label and number them by hand. None of these wines will go into commercial release.

Bottling day is April 9. We will begin shipping immediately afterwards.

olive oils

We make a few gallons of superb and super fresh olive oil from the 20 or so varieties of olives planted and dry-farmed by the Tenbrinks around the winery.

We have decided to focus on freshness in our oil-- on something analogous to the acidity and florality in Riesling. The result is an oil deeply and brightly green in color. There is no bitterness or unripeness. It is truly not like any other oil.

We offer free shipping on 2 or more bottles.

fragments of the LIbrary of Babel

We have a small number of bottles scattered over a large number of wines sitting idle and unheralded at our shipper's warehouse. 41 different wines; 2 or 3 bottles of most, a couple cases of a few. They are stranded, left over from a hundred other offerings. You may rescue them here. To reward you for your magnanimity, we have slashed the prices radically on some, modestly on others, but they are all reduced. Please help us find them homes!

Méthode Futuriste Sparkling Wines

We have accomplished the daring and difficult Futurist aim of forcing bubbles into still wine. Blowout is all about speed, anticipation, audacity: it is a Sparkling Wine bottled and released only months after harvest and fermentation. There is no patience in the making-- or consumption-- of Blowout.

The pure velocity of Blowout does not mean that it is made with any less care or thought than our other wines. Like our best wines, it hails from a single vineyard, one of the most celebrated: Lost Slough in the cool Sacramento River Delta. We harvested Lourreiro, Grüner, and Verdelho in August of 2015, pressed and fermented them together, and then, with all of the speed of Futurism, began bottling the wine in November. It is now ready, without any maturation and full of irrepressible energy, to delight you.
I regret that the Rose is sold out.
