Brian is the winemaker at <a href=\"https:\/\/drycreekvineyard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dry Creek Vineyard<\/strong><\/a>. We covered eight wines during the visit. We started with Chenin Blanc and a single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, both from the 2024 vintage. Then we tried three single-vineyard and one historic-field-blend Zinfandel from the 2022 vintage. As you will recall, we really liked 2022 as a Zinfandel vintage. Finally, we wrapped up with their 2021 Red Blend and their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2022 vintage. It was a great tasting and a lot of fun. In this post, you can learn what we learned about Brian and the history of the winery and read our reviews of all of these impressive wines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before we get to the wines, I thought I would share some tidbits that Brian shared in the interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tell us a little bit about the Dry Creek Vineyard winery history?<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is <a href=\"https:\/\/drycreekvineyard.com\/our-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>family owned<\/u><\/strong><\/a> and was started by David Stare in 1972. Today it is run by the second generation. <strong>Kim Stare<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Founder David Stare was born in Massachusetts, and he completed his degree in Civil Engineering at MIT and his MBA at Northwestern, before he moved to Germany.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While living in Europe, he visited many of the wineries and started to develop an interest in wine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He returned to Boston in the spring of 1969 firmly bitten by the wine bug and enrolled in a wine appreciation class.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 1970 he and his family traveled to France. He loved the Loire Valley. He was then inspired to make a dry-styled Sauvignon Blanc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After returning from the trip, he read an article in the Wall Street Journal about what a great future California had for making world-class wines. After a trip to California, he packed up his wife and kids and moved to California.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Upon his arrival, he began taking winemaking classes at UC Davis as a graduate student.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the same time, he began to look for land for a vineyard. The Dry Creek reminded him of the Loire Valley.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He found and purchased a run-down rundown 55-acre prune orchard (ripped it out) and planted grapes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sauvignon Blanc was what he planted even though it was not recommended by the locals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When did Kim Stare Wallace get involved?<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kim literally was raised among the vines in Dry Creek Valley.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a teen, Kim worked in the office, cellar, and on the bottling line. She also accompanied her parents on countless sales trips, business dinners, and wine tastings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After college, she had no intention of working at the winery. She was going into the fashion industry!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Well, that did not last too long. Her father eventually convinced her to come back to the winery as Director of Marketing in 1986. She has now been there for 40 years. (Plus, childhood)<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of Kim\u2019s great ideas was to put the sailboats on the labels. It was a radical idea at the time. Now the winey is certainly recognized by that concept and idea.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The inspiration for this was the family vacationed in Maine and was into sailing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kim\u2019s husband, Don Wallace, joined the winery managing ranch operations in 1990.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don\u2019s role is that he worked to upgrade the vineyards and develop new vineyards.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Together they had a vision of producing wines that were not too high in alcohol, delivered high value, were food friendly, and were offered at a fair price.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Brian Pruett Story<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Brian grew up in Northern California.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He went to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo where he earned his degree in agricultural business with a minor in wine and viticulture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He worked his first harvest at Justin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He spent the next two years of harvest seasons traveling between California\u2019s Central Coast and Marlborough, New Zealand. (He worked at Kim Crawford while he was in NZ.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He eventually landed at Peachy Canyon where he was the Assistant Winemaker and Director of Production for 3 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From there he moved north to take an Assistant Winemaker position at Ledson Winery.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Finally in March of 2017, Brian joined Dry Creek Vineyard as Assistant Winemaker to work with Director of Winemaking Tim Bell. Brian was later promoted to Associate Winemaker and eventually promoted to Winemaker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Brian\u2019s winemaking philosophy is that wine is made at the crossroads of art and science. 50%\/50%.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Vineyard and Wine Tidbits<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Dry Creek Valley is about 15 to 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It has very diverse soil types.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Chenin Blanc<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inspired by the Loire Valley<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The grapes come from the Wilson Ranch in Clarksburg. It is actually a single vineyard wine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It needs a warmer site. That said it gets a cool breeze in the evening balancing things nicely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They pay a premium to have it farmed the way they want it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Sauvignon Blancs<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Fum\u00e9 Blanc was first wine they made.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It was different than Mondavi\u2019s Fum\u00e9.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dave made it fresh with a stainless approach.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It comes from Sonoma County<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is more citrus focused. They manage that with more shade.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The last few vintages have really stepped up the quality.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Brian noted they are more dialed into certain blocks, changed yeast strains and reduced the air contact with the wine. All have been beneficial to the results.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gets more sun, so it is more tropical than the Fum\u00e9.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It also gets some barrel (15-18%)<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Either neutral French, Acacia, or Chestnut.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The \u201cTaylor\u2019s Vineyard\u201d Sauvignon Blanc.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is on West Dry Creek Road.
