Founded in 2011, brick &amp; mortar focuses on single-vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, from select high-elevation Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino vineyards. Since our beginning, we have expanded our production, adding methode champenoise sparkling, vin pétillant-style rosé, and a successful line of canned wines. Our wines are elegant, balanced, and food-friendly.Like the great European wineries, we believe that the best wines express a unique time and place. So we let each of our distinct Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino Ridge vineyards speak for themselves, with minimal intervention. We pick early, ferment with native yeasts, and use oak and sulfur judiciously, resulting in low-alcohol wines of grace and finesse.

Ep. 24 - Matt Iaconis, Owner and Winemaker at Delta Wines and Brick &amp; Mortar joins the show to discuss his journey and how he went from wanting to be an astronaut to making wine. The discussion touches on the power of small decisions, resilience, having a short memory, and the power of community and helping others."We make all these decisions throughout the day. You don't know which one is the one...Those small decisions, it's a ripple effect...(that) just cascades throughout life.""To be successful, you really need to have a short memory because you can really fester on the bad stuff easily, and in general, those are where you start to make real big mistakes."
