About

This Howell Mountain gem, founded by Napa native Brian and Gretchen Brakesman in 2014, pulls its name from a Chinese proverb about human connection, which basically sums up their whole vibe of bringing people together through wine. They're doing some seriously creative stuff here, like Howell Mountain's first modern sparkling rosé made from Zinfandel, plus bold blends of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah.
