A California Wine Dinner

With Master Sommelier Larry O’Brien and Winemaker Greg Brewe of Brewer Clifton Winery

Thursday, March 19, 2020 • 6:30 pm

Brewer-Clifton was born in 1996 from Greg Brewer’s vision to produce world class wines from California’s Santa Rita Hills appellation. Focusing on the Burgundian roots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Brewer pays homage to France while forging an independent style that is uniquely Californian. The resulting wines embrace the power, pedigree and richness of Santa Rita Hills that have become the trademark style of Brewer-Clifton.

They remain steadfastly loyal to the stewardship of this land through their estate holdings, and are humbled to travel the globe sharing their story with colleagues, collectors and wine enthusiasts.

While grounded in traditional ideals matched with extensive studies in Europe, the wines at Brewer-Clifton are not bound by them. Instead, the vintners elect to employ the most sincere and vulnerable wine production practices so as to reinterpret classicism within the aesthetic of the Santa Rita Hills.
