SUMMER 2013

Happy June!  As it seems to be the status quo any more....things are forever busy at Brooks!  While Chris and Janie have been off the road for a bit all things have shifted towards work in the winery and planning our busy and fun filled summer!  Chris just finished bottling 2000 cases of the 2011 Janus and the single vineyard pinots.  He will take a little breather before he hits the blends for the 2012 Runaway Red and Willamette Valley Pinot Noir in July!  Janie is going to spend a week in Chicago and then will be heading to Oregon for the duration of the summer!
