“Zac Brown has always been a man on a journey. Most know him for his music, yet his artistry and creative spirit are without boundaries. No matter where the adventure takes him, Zac has always remained downhome and truthful to his roots. His lifelong connection to the land and passion for bringing music, food, and people together was a natural path to wine.
John Killebrew, who grew up in California, developed a love for nature, gardening, cooking, and music at an early age. Though he and Zac grew up on opposite ends of the country, distance did not stop them from sharing a common passion and respect for the land.
As a winemaker, John is able to tap into his desire to make things with his own hands, stay immersed in nature, and find each season’s expression through the vines. Z. Alexander Brown is the reward of this relentless commitment and partnership with Zac to create bold “uncaged” wines rooted in the heart of California wine country.”
1st Course
Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
Wine-Z Alexander Brown Uncaged Chardonnay Monterey
“Sourced from the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in Monterey, this Chardonnay expresses flavors indicative of the region which the grapes were grown: Juicy stone fruit flavors balanced by a nice acidity for exceptional balance and mouthfeel and gentle spice character, rounded out with hints of vanilla."
2nd Course
Chicken with Port and Figs
Wine-Z Alexander Brown Uncaged Red Blend California
Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Merlot, Malbec
“California has some of the finest land in the world for growing grapes. We’ve sourced from a range of sub-appellations and growing conditions, and from a diversity of sites. Our Z. Alexander Brown Proprietary Red Blend achieves complexity and real dimension. We met at Zac’s home for the final blending session and came away with a lush, mouth filling wine that is smooth and round with a generous finish."
Entrée
Harissa-Crusted Pork loin
Wine-Z Alexander Brown Uncaged Cabernet Sauvignon
“When Zac said he wanted to craft big, bold wine, I immediately knew we were going to go to Northern California Coastal vineyards.
The riches of these vineyards are what give Z. Alexander Brown Cabernet Sauvignon its depth and character. Selecting the best fruit from top vineyard sites in the region enables us to craft a powerful, full-bodied wine with supple tannins and a long, silky finish."
