FORGED BY FIRE

Home-bound pandemic life sparked the vision for glassware that unites beauty and comfort. Explore how the Broc glassware came to be – from concept to fire and finally, your table. 

"When the Bay Area first locked down in April 2020, Chris and I had more time to think creatively at home. Home felt really special in those first few weeks. We thought about designing a wine glass that we would love holding and drinking from. A piece of art. Unique and beautiful. Something versatile - maybe not just for wine. No limits." - Bridget Leary

PAIRING VISION & DESIGN

Inspired by Rafi Ajl’s spirits glassware, he was a critical partner in bringing our vision to life.

A collection of objects, including wooden blocks, a clay pot, glass cylinders, and metal tools, sit on a shelf. Above them is a wooden sign with the text LONG CON in large letters.

Uniquely Yours

We started with a single batch of 50 glasses. Now, Broc glassware is a beautiful set for any tablescape.

"Wine can be enjoyed in any vessel. If you want your senses to open up and explore a wine, there are really elegant glasses that bring you on that journey. But, with this glass, we focused on style and the feel in your hand - the comfort while drinking at home. A tall stem is not always ideal, especially with a toddler running around. Stems give more of a serious tone to wine. These glasses make wine more relaxing." – Chris Brockway

"The glasses reflect our vision, but it's Rafi’s signature look. We wanted him to express himself as a designer. We love the multifaceted walls. The individual imperfections make each piece unique. You can feel how special they are. It's super rare to see handmade glass anywhere these days." – Chris Brockway

2022 Michael Mara Chardonnay

$ 65.00 Save $ -65.00

Tasting Notes: Lemon zest and pomello

A unique expression of Chardonnay that has the vivacity only California can provide to Chardonnay with the crisp balance of fruit and acidity akin to a Chablis-style wine. This Chardonnay has a long history with us, starting with our first vintage in 2010. The Michael Mara Vineyard sits along the Sonoma Mountain range in the Sonoma Coast AVA. It’s a unique site for growing Chardonnay in California with the fruit absorbing lots of the marine air along with minerality from the rocky soil. We brought in the grapes whole cluster and directly pressed. The juice fermented naturally in two stockinger Austrian oak puncheons. Aged on the lees for 10 months. The result is an approachable wine for chardonnay lovers, novices and dare we say – even skeptics. Age up to 20 years.

2023 Grenache Gris

$ 32.00 Save $ -32.00

Tasting Notes: Strawberry, lavender honey, ras el hanout

THE STORY: The Grenache Gris is a wine and grape that amazes us every vintage. This year it’s a beautiful deep amaranth with a quenchable, farmstand fruit palate. The color and even the body vary greatly year-to-year depending on how the canopy develops over the growing season and how we fermented it. This year we explored different fermentation styles and vessels. For some of the Grenache Gris, we layered it into a concrete tank to undergo carbonic maceration for nearly two weeks. The remaining grapes saw a traditional footstomp and three-day maceration before pressing it all together. We divided fermentation and aging into some concrete tank and the rest in two of our sandstone jarres. The result is a wine that has the acid and buoyancy of a rosé, with a backbone of a light red wine.  

The Grenache Gris hails from Gibson Ranch, in McDowell Valley just inland of the town of Hopland in Mendocino County, where most of their Grenache vines are more than 110-years-old. Their age really shows as the grape skins can vary widely in color depending on the year and harvest from sun-soaked pale to darker tones closer to Grenache Noir.

FUN FACT: Vines at Gibson Ranch are more tree-like, stretching over six feet tall.

VARIETIES: 100% Grenache Gris
LOCATION: Gibson Ranch - McDowell Valley AVA
FARMING PRACTICES: Organically grown grapes
ALCOHOL: 12.5%

2022 Wirth Zinfandel

$ 32.00 Save $ -32.00

Tasting Notes: Baking spices, cherry and resin

Zinfandel is a notable part of California’s history, introduced during the Gold Rush. It’s also a foundational grape in our own history and we’ve harvested Wirth Zinfandel since 2002. We love older expressions of California Zinfandel – lighter styles with vibrant acidity and inviting fruit, before it became too overly ripe and high in alcohol. Our winemaking returns Zinfandel to its origins of a pleasing table wine. Unlike the playful nature of our other Zinfandel wine, Vine Starr, our Wirth Ranch Zinfandel is a special expression showcasing more heritage vines. Organically farmed in Solano County Green Valley, these older vines produce lower yields that are highly concentrated, resulting in a wine with more depth and structure. The grapes were naturally fermented with 80% whole cluster and 20% destemmed fruit on top in stainless steel open top fermenters and saw pump overs of the juice twice per day. We aged the wine in neutral oak barriques for 10 months. Age up to 10 years.

VARIETIES: 85% Zinfandel | 15% Petite Sirah

VINEYARD: Wirth Ranch | Non-certified organic

ALCOHOL: 13%
