The Auction:  You are bidding on a Magnum of 2016 Brooks Note Winery, Marin County Pinot Noir and a private tasting with Winemaker Garry Brooks. 

The Wine:  Our Marin County Pinot comes from the windswept hills and rolling pastures of Western Marin.  Cool ocean breeze from the Petaluma Gap provides the perfect climate for Pinot Noir.  It offers vibrant raspberry, cherry, blueberry and earthy notes supported by an elegant structure.  It’s great by its self, or with food.  There were only 200 cases of this wine produced and just a few magnums.

The Tasting:  Garry worked as the Enologist for Kosta Browne and the Assistant Winemaker at Dutton Goldfield before starting Brooks Note Winery in 2011.  He’ll lead you and your friends (up to a party of 6) on a barrel tasting tour of how he makes wines.  You will see how barrel maker, barrel age, vineyard, and clone selection come together to make great Pinot Noir.

Restrictions/ Expiration:  Tasting time and date to be mutually agreed upon with Garry.
