THOMAS RIVERS BROWN
Teach a man to fish, and he won’t go hungry, but teach a man to appreciate fine wine, and he might just grow up to be the next great winemaker.

Thomas Rivers Brown is a man you should know by name and reputation alone. He currently stands among California’s most accomplished and soughtafter winemakers. With his pockets full of 100-point wines, he has the luxury to pick and choose his clients (and his vineyards.)
As a consulting winemaker, Brown is more hands on than many famous names in the business. He keeps his wines close, tasting often, and tapping instincts that seem supernatural to outsiders. It’s no accident that he only works with the very best vineyards.
Brown’s advice to any forward-thinking wine lover is to share the good stuff. For many years, he depended on the kindness of others to loosen the corks on wines that were out of his reach. His philosophy is one of generosity: share great wine, share your knowledge, and keep the quality juice flowing for the future.

MATERRA: MAKING WAVES IN WINE
Your Scout might tell you that Chelsea Barrett was raised by two master winemakers, that she interned at Napa’s Opus One, or that she was a co-winemaker at Amuse Bouche and Au Sommet. But her wine is worth discovering for yourself: intense, balanced, and terrifically bold. Each and every bottle has its own story to tell, stories that are made to bring people together to share.

COMPLANT: THE BARONS OF GRAPEGROWING
Cabernet may be in his blood, but Sam Baron couldn’t deny his yen for something lighter. Inspired by his father’s work ethic and his own experience, Sam stepped dauntlessly into the fickle landscape of Pinot Noir and the thrilling world of Chardonnay. Both ventures sing of exceptional care and quality.
