Winemaking
Since the the begining, the 2008 vintage, John and Christine have worked closely with Paul Lato as wine consultant . The first vintage, 2007, was declassified because it did not meet our expectations. Paul is teaching John and Christine a philosophy of wine making encompassing the approach of Henri Jayer. Paul makes his Paul Lato wine with Hilliard Bruce winery equipment in our mutually rented CCWS warehouse space, Santa Maria, California.
Robert Ingersoll Quote on the bottle
Robert Ingersoll wrote: " Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so". Hilliard Bruce dedicates this wine to the life of Robert Ingersol.
Philosophy of Hilliard Bruce Vineyards
Own and farm 21 acres of Santa Rita Hills vineyards. Have only Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Make wine exclusively from these vineyards. Use the highest order viticulture. Make the wine with our equipment.
Focus on each individual task.
Focus on beauty.
