Just on a small scale.”

For the first few years, the CIRQ presented two single -wine yards from the Tree House and the Mountain Mountains in the Russian River Valley. Since 2017, this brand has been a multi -wine yard from this Ava. Brown says, “When we sold Kosta Brown, they kept the stairs.” It was difficult to remove the sauce, and it was one of the privileges. As they were named, Brown enjoy the flexibility of not being tied to a single garden for this wine.

Like any good liquor maker, Brown can talk about a variety of panuet Nair Clone cultivated in grape gardens, which he used 2022, but he finds that site selection and farming methods are a more important indicator of taste, tannic profile and overall quality. He explained that the Coplin Wine Yard, with which he has worked since 2001, offers the “spinal cord of the mixture” and offers deep, brooding fruit, which has a tremendous tank structure. Brown proudly said, “During the Obama administration, the White House State Dinner was poured into the Costa Brown -based Koplin Dah -turned wine. Green Valley, all of Graham Dah, placing part of the fruits of the city, while the city of Graham, the city, is in the city. , Roberb, and pomegranate, which he calls the “electricity of the mixture”. Brown has a soft spot for 900 feet high chinith home wrench grapefruit.

The source of the CIRQ about the Vintage Conditions and the Brown and Wine Cabell Course (which also worked in Costa Brown) changes a year. He makes only 30,000 bottles of CIRQ every year, most of which are sold directly to consumers or in advanced restaurants. Brown says, “Think of a very special Napa cab brand that has a small production at a height.” “These are us, only in the Russian River Valley.”

Serak 2022 The Russian River Valley Panot Nair is the scent of solid summer strawberries, fresh raspberry, and Holiday baking spices that indicate the mountain herbs.

A vein of exquisite acidity erection stands on the side rhythm and is marked with white chocolate and orange stimulation notes.

From the age of 12 to 18, Brown was an actor with the Vinachi Youth Circus in his native state of Washington, where he walked on a high wire, flew to the traps, and a fire, where he became the main actor until the end of his tenure. “It taught me about hard work, dedication, failure, risk and display, among many other things,” Brown says.
