Brick & Mortar Wines

brick & mortar creates vibrant, age-worthy wines, site-driven and unique, with a focus on sparkling. Our wines are deeply rooted in California, but driven by French traditions. Our journey into winemaking has been driven by our shared love of drinking vintage champagne and white Burgundy. Early in our dating years we spent every third Monday of December with a dear friend who hosted “Champagne Holiday,” sharing vintage Krug, Salon, and Cristal, memorably opening a 2000 Clos du Mesnil to celebrate our engagement. Discovering Krug Collection, Dom Oenotheque, Roulot and Coche Dury while working together at Michelin three star The Restaurant at Meadowood guided us to produce Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and sparkling wine from exceptional sites in Northern California. We love to taste Coche Dury, Comte Lafon, Jobard and Krug, their style and tradition as a framework for what we produce.
