EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, EXCELLENCE
Bruno & Condos winemaking team brings in decades of knowledge and practice to the brand.
Richard Bruno and Chris Condos started their collaboration in 1997 after graduating from UC Davis with degrees in Viticulture & Enology. They financed their dream on credit cards. Their focus was then, and remains today discovering California’s coastal vineyards and special microclimates in search of the best vineyards grown by the states best growers. The long-term partners mandate that each wine offer high quality-to-price ratio. What this means is each wine is literally hand crafted from single vineyards and made with a small lot philosophy. From Coastal Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the team makes varietal wines from single vineyards and appellations throughout California.
