Winemaker Series- Kira Ballotta, Owner and Winemaker/ Olivia Brion Wines

June 22, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm PDT

$25

Join us at our Hermosa location as we welcome owner/winemaker Kira Ballotta of Olivia Brion Wines. Kira has made her way around Napa and Australia, learning the craft of winemaking and engendering a true reverence and love for this 7,000-year-old trade. She spent four years at Alpha Omega in Rutherford running Enology research. She helped the team earn their 100-point score on the 2018 vintage before taking over as winemaker for Olivia Brion in 2019. She is dedicated to a business organized around sustainability and gentle practices for the earth. She strives to make wines that are driven by balance and, ultimately, an age-worthiness that is distinctly Californian. Wines we'll be pouring (click on links to read more): 

2021 "Taquine" White Blend
2019 "Mon Amour Interdit" Grenache
2019 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
2019 "Les Vagabondes" Tempranillo
