Agent Brut
Inventory Manager
“Keeps their friends close and their cellar closer.”
Born in raised in Manteca, CA. Left home in 2009 to join the US Air Force for 6 years serving in the Security Forces squadrons that secured and protected nuclear weapons. I was fortunate enough to tour countries like Italy and Germany in my short time with the military.
In 2014 I moved back to California and continued my college education in Business. While in school I discovered the wide world of wine and wine business. Earned my undergraduate in Wine Business Strategies at Sonoma State University. Since then I have found myself working in a bunch of different rolls in the industry such as tasting rooms, winery events, estate Sommelier, and sales.
With all the adventures I have had so far in the wine industry there is still nothing I love more than having a glass of wine and talking about wine with great company around me. Rob Davis, former Winemaker of Jordan Winery and mentor of mine once said, “It’s the only industry in the world where you might not become a millionaire, but you get to live like one.” When I am not serving as an Agent of Wine you can probably find me on the golf course or exploring different beer gardens with my wife, daughter, and German shepherd.

Château Cantelys
2016 Pessac-Léognan
Long-time second property by the Smith Haut Lafitte team you’ll fall in love with this 95-point best-kept-secret!
Love me some Pessac! Don't get me wrong, the Médoc is wonderful but there is something about this tiny southern region on the left bank that I love dearly. Home to Haut-Brion my favorite of the First Growth's. — Agent Brut

2020 'Pedestal' Columbia Valley Merlot
“This continues to set a high standard for Merlot in Washington and everywhere else in the country”
“This is it!” As a young enophile entering the wine industry, this bottle gave me one of those unforgettable "aha" moments. To this day, I’m not exaggerating when I say it remains one of the best sips of wine I’ve ever had. — Agent Brut

Domaine Weinbach
2019 'les Treilles du Loup' Gewürztraminer
What’s the one variety that EVERYONE agrees on as being underrated every time they taste an outstanding example of?
If you're new to Alsace and/or Gewürztraminer, this is the perfect starting point. The grape originates in the mountains of northern Italy, near the border with Austria, and the varietal name actually translates from German to 'the spicy one from Tramin.' It's like catnip for wine nerds like me. — Agent Brut

Well, the legend is back. WAYFARER!! With 96 points, it’s everything you want and then some in a Chardonnay.

I was introduced to this winery by our own Rhône. When he says, "this is Chardonnay I am looking for" then I listen. He was right. This is cool climate, yet full bodied perfect for buttered seafood. — Agent Brut

Hidden Ridge
2008 'Impassable Mountain' Cabernet Sauvignon
“World-class Cabernets and should be considered by any serious collector for their cellars.” – Robert Parker
Because WHY NOT? 15+ years of age and still going? Mountain fruit on the border of Napa and Sonoma. Easily worth more than what we are showing it for. — Agent Brut

Bodega Catena Zapata
2022 'White Stones' Mendoza Chardonnay
White Stones is from Catena’s ultra-rare, tiny production Parcelas Series. These are not your average Chardonnays.
Easily the one of the most complex Chardonnay's I have ever experienced. High elevation vineyard with stony soils makes from one of the best wineries in Argentina. Yes, the price is worth it! — Agent Brut

You can hardly find a more “garagiste” type boutique producer. You’ll be among the rarified few who own a bottle.
I was introduced to Read Holland last summer and have since made multiple purchases of Ashley Holland's wines. Her Chardonnay is sourced from a prime spot in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the grapes truly thrive. — Agent Brut

Keever Vineyards
2019 'Inspirado' Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Blend
The real magic here is Celia Welch who’s behind the 100-point Scarecrows. Classic Staglin, and Cornerstone…
This year's favorite Cabernet for me - not just because it was made by Celia Welch, but because of how harmonious everything is in this wine. The fruit, the oak, the acidity, and the tannins are like a perfect symphony where no instrument overpowers the others. — Agent Brut

Domaine Chanson
2019 Les Preuses Chablis Grand Cru
Small Lot Wine Sale Wine Enthusiast 94 pointer “hedonistic Chablis. Will. Not. Last.
My name should have been 'Chablis' that is how much I love this wine, and the region of Chablis. I was fortunate to tour this region and taste the food, wine, and experience the culture. This is where you can fine me if I am hidding off the grid. — Agent Brut

When discoveries get massive recognition (like 94-97 points) it gets harder to bring Ops the best deals we can.

Domaine A&C Sparr
2021 'Révelation' Schoenenbourg Grand Cru Riesling
This Grand Cru Riesling by ambitious up-and-coming vintners Amélie & Charles Sparr’s a cellar-worthy showstopper.
I love acid. I guess you could call me an "acid head". Generally, I gravitate towards crisp, mineral, and acidic white wines and if that is also what you are looking for then look no more. Lemon zest, melon rind, and wet rocks jump right out of the glass and the finish leaves you salivating for more. — Agent Brut

“Reminiscent of Saint-Aubin,” an ultra-rare Italian white made by two of the greatest winemakers in the world!
Italy's version of Village Chardonnay. It's one of my go-to-white-wines right now because of the freshness, yet rich flavors perfect for summer. — Agent Brut

Markus Molitor
2019 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett Goldkapsel
The last time we had a Riesling Friday, 5 sold out, this time we’re back “prepared” with more than A DOZEN MORE.
In my opinion, this is one of the most interesting and flavorful Grand Cru vineyards in the Mosel. The literal translation is 'Spice Vineyard,' and the aromas and flavors carry a subtle spice - like Christmas cookie spices. One bottle easily gets crushed when I open it. — Agent Brut

Beekeeper Cellars
2018 Montecillo Vineyard Sonoma Valley Zinfandel
BLACK FRIDAY Week Special Offer! for the Beekeeper 2018s, the very last vintage they made before a hiatus.
Zinfandel and I have a love-hate relationship. I'm generally not looking to buy Zinfandel when selecting my wines. I heard about Beekeeper from our own Agent Noir, and I'm still in awe of how delicious and complex their wines are. It's no wonder we sold out of every vineyard and vintage we received from them. — Agent Brut

Domaine Chapuis
2022 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru
Speaking of great Grand Crus… here’s our FIRST offering ever, from Agent Noir’s favorite vineyard on earth.
Some individuals select their wines based on who made them, when they were made (a.k.a. the vintage), and where the grapes are from. This wine is, hands down, all about where the vineyard is located. Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru produces some of the best - and most pricey - Chardonnays in the world. Yes, the price is absolutely worth it. — Agent Brut
