If you are searching for the next bottle of cool climate Pinot Noir to fall in love with, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir should be high on your list.
We love getting out of the vineyard, hitting the road, and pouring Brashley wines for people who are just as obsessed with cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as we are.
It's another season in Anderson Valley and for Brashley Vineyards. The year brings some fun new challenges and fun new markets. Everyone has heard about the Surgeon Generals recommendation that alcohol and wine in particular, be shared limitedly or not at all. We decided we need to pick a lane and that lane it to take our limited production wines on the road to Florida with a bigger push in California.
HELLO! 2024 season is underway with preparations for the month of May kickstart. Bram and I started the 2024 season with a couple road trips pouring Brashley wines along the way. This is Pebble Beach Food and Wine held in late March. We take the camper van and have a little house in the parking lot for those days when we need a little break. LOL but thats not our van!
Hello! It's October 30th and it's about time for the Brashley Vineyards tasting room to O-P-E-N. Seems getting back to "normal" might mean different things to people but we are seeing some semblance of sanity. We've had a total of 5 harvests! The 4 harvests in California gave us 14 tons of Pinot Noir grapes. We recently finished our first ever East coast harvest Oct 15th for our dry Riesling project. Whoot!! The Brashley 2021 Finger Lakes Riesling is the newest addition to our label reflecting our original upstate NY roots. The Brashley 2021 Finger Lakes Riesling will be our signature dry Alsatian wine and we are excited for this vintage release in late 2022. We are expecting 150 cases for 2021. The rains have dampened harvest, literally, and created some unfortunate pests that typically plague the East coast under these conditions. Ironically, the opposite conditions on the West coast where the rainy season seemed like it would never come. There is so much variation from year to year and vineyard to vineyard, it's farming! All this unforeseen and challenge bring with it those who contend with these conditions to bring to the wine lovers everywhere a wonderful light compelling drink with lively acid and special color. The 2021 Brashley Vineyard Harvest is done, final, complete! Now we can breath a small sigh of relief for the vines that work so hard through diversity and still can give us a wonderful final product that brings together the passion for growing, making and drinking these wines. Cheers!
