Please join us Wednesday, July 25th, any time between 4:30-7:30pm, when we welcome Chris Brockway to our wine bar. Chris is owner and winemaker for Berkeley-based Broc Cellars and will present a flight of their current releases.
 
Chris Brockway began his career in entertainment editing TV promos, yet a nagging interest in wine led him to pursue a degree in oenology at Fresno State; subsequently, he relocated to the Bay Area and landed a gig making wine under Jeff Cohn and Kent Rosenblum at Rosenblum Cellars.
 
Today, Chris crafts powerful wines made from California’s heritage vines including Zinfandel and Valdiguié, which have been grown sustainably and often biodynamically in Solano County’s Green Valley and nearby locations for more than a century. With Broc Cellars, Chris aims to "make wines closer to how they were made in California maybe 30 to 40 years ago. Throwback wines, in a sense." Hence, grapes are pitchforked whole-cluster into fermenters where fermentation occurs spontaneously and naturally; nothing is added to the juice such as nutrients, yeast, bacteria, enzymes, tannins or other popular fermentation agents, and all wines are basket pressed, with little or no sulfur used until bottling. We have been longtime supporters of Chris and his pure, unadulterated and graceful wines and cannot wait to join him in sharing the following lineup with all of you!
