This months vintner, j.brix, creates wines that will speak in their own voices. They adore the variety California has to offer, which means they find themselves compelled to make tiny quantities of as many different wines as they can... and, they try to add a new grape or style each harvest. So far, their fruit comes from four vastly different, soul-stirring vineyards. Using neutral vessels, native-yeast fermentation, and absolutely nothing else, with the exception of sulfur dioxide as necessary. In keeping with this minimalist approach, they choose not to fine, filter or cold-stabilize their wines. Their motto, in winemaking and life: Only Love.
We will be pairing the following wines with our delicious spring menu.
2016 Cobolorum Riesling pét-nat, Kick On Ranch Vineyard, Santa Barbara County
2016 Uncontainable rosé of Cinsault, Hagata Vineyard, San Diego County
