Brendan Tracey

Brendan Tracey is an oddity. A half-French, half-American winemaker, who in a previous life was lead singer in San Franciscan punk band The Insults, and who grows none of his own grapes, instead relying on a network of like-minded growers near his home in the Loire Valley’s northern reaches. Brendan has an uncanny skill in producing wines of esoteric drinkability that are an unfailing match for a sunny day spent outside.
