BROOKS WINERY
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Brooks Wines, founded in 1998 by Jimi Brooks, embodies his visionary approach to winemaking. Jimi was a Portland native who practiced organic and biodynamic farming, deeply valuing the land and vines. His wines were known for their depth, flavors, and balance, achieved through a meticulous mastery of blending and a profound respect for vineyard individuality. Although Jimi is no longer with us, his spirit lives on through his wines, family, and friends.
Following Jimi's passing, his son Pascal took over as the sole owner of the winery, while his sister Janie Brooks Heuck dedicated her time to lead the company. Guided by Jimi's legacies, which include a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic farming, a gentle approach to winemaking, and a passion for showcasing the beauty of Pinot Noir and Riesling in Oregon, Brooks Wines continues to thrive with the support and generosity of the Oregon wine community.

TWO SHEPARDS WINERY
Mendocino, California, USA
Two Shepherds Winery utilizes several vineyards throughout Northern California to harvest grapes for their small lot wine production. Their minimalist approach to growing, harvesting, and processing grapes allow each of their vintages and bottles to stand on their own and express the time and place it came.
Two Shepherds specializes in “old vine vineyards and planting” while taking a minimalist approach to the grapes in the harvesting and wine-making process. William and Karen believe that wine-making is more art than science, and each bottle should tell a story about that vintage. Their philosophy regarding the production process is that wine occurs naturally; it is simply the winemakers’ job to guide the wine through the process and allow for the wine’s notes and structure to speak for itself and tell its story.
2022 Two Shepards Carbonic Carignon
Inspired by our kitten, Wiley, a carbonic soul. A true carbonic carignan, sealed in tank for 2.5 weeks, then pressed back to stainless to finish fermenting and aged 4 months. Intense fresh berry aromatics leap out of the glass, both complex & fun flavors, that belie its youthfulness. Wiley has grown from a kitten to king of the farm, and like his personality, this vintage is slightly more serious, though still playful. Serve slightly chilled. 10.7% alcohol.
