Oakland’s own Drew Huffine and Emily Virgil make fantastic very small-production wines, sourcing fruit from off-the-beaten path vineyards from Mendocino to Santa Ynez. Their wines are setting a new mark for purity in California -- well balanced, bright and low in alcohol, and true expressions of the sustainably farmed sites they come from. 

Drew will be pouring four of Trail Marker Wine Company’s new releases: a crisp and elegant Rosè of Grenache from the organically farmed Eagle Point Ranch vineyard in Mendocino; a Chardonnay with “untamed acidity” from Mendocino Ridge hidden in the wilds of redwood trees; a Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains that shines with bright red fruits and a lovely earthiness; and finally a light and delicious Zweigelt from a famed Lodi vineyard known for its German and Austrian varietals.
