Description
THE BRAKESMAN FAMILY – owners of Red Thread Wines
One faithful night in San Francisco, two star crossed lovers (Gretchen and Brian) met at Slims, located in the Mission District. Unbeknownst to either of them they were destined for a life together. Who knew that a night out in San Francisco could change our lives so drastically. We are both forever grateful for the mythical red thread that is connected to Gretchen’s finger and Brian’s ankle.
With Brian’s fastidious approach to winemaking & vineyards and being a Napa Valley native and Gretchen’s ability to sell ice to Eskimos and mange 7 projects at once, it seemed like a great time to complete our thread. We love what we do and we think you will experience that through our wines. Enjoy!
WINEMAKER NOTES:
We have been blessed by Bacchus to have access to one of the premier vineyards on top of Howell Mountain, Summit Lake Vineyards. With Brian growing up on the vineyards and understanding the nuances of terroir, has given us an in-depth insight into how we make our wine with balance and age.
