Their story

Brea Wine Co. is a partnership between two Bay Area wine people. Chris Brockway is the winemaker and owner of Broc Cellars in Berkeley, and Tim Elenteny runs logistics for TE Imports.

Together they set out to make classic California varietals that are honest, site-driven and fairly priced, working closely with growers they trust.

How it's made

Brea sources sustainably farmed fruit from vineyards known for quality grapes. The range focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, made to drink well young while holding up to a few years in the cellar.

Why we carry them

We reach for Brea when we want a classic California varietal without the big price tag. It is a dependable dinner bottle from a winemaker we admire.
