Wines deeply rooted in California, but driven by French traditions.
Old-world refinement. New-world roots. Founded in 2011, brick & mortar is a domestic sparkling wine house with a secondary focus on single-vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, from select high-elevation Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino vineyards. Husband and wife team Matt and Alexis Iaconis are quite the dynamic duo. Her background is on the restaurant floor as a WSET Advanced Sommelier. He got an engineering-gone-winemaking degree from Davis, where he was gearing up to be an astronaut (nerd alert), and took a winemaking elective that changed the course of his life. Together they are elevating sparkling wine in California, while keeping it affordable and approachable, with many single vineyard bottlings, to cans of white, rosé, red, and sparkling.
