Connor Brennan Cellars is a family wine adventure with a passion for making small lot hand crafted vineyard-designate Pinor Noir and Syrah from cool climate vineyards located in the bucolic Sonoma wine growing region. We are very selective about the vineyards we choose to work with. Like us they are mostly small family owned operations that are managed with great care and with the goal of growing the very best wine grapes in Sonoma. The high quality fruit is gently harvested at the peak of ripeness.

We have recently joined the ranks of small vineyard owners with our first estate property. After many years of wine making we dreamt of becoming "winegrowers" where we could exercise full control from vine to bottle. Balinard Vineyards was planted in the spring of 2007 which is the first step in realizing this dream.

Unlike large wineries we baby our wines from grape to bottle making every effort to fashion wine that is a natural expression of the vineyards from which the fruit comes. This is not a wine-industrial-complex approach to wine making. We fuss over every small lot and barrel in making some of the very best wines found in Sonoma. Our goal is to craft elegant and food friendly styled wines. We hope you enjoy the passion we devote to each bottle.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
