I recently spoke with Chris Brockway of Broc Cellars in Berkeley. Chris has been making Natural Wine for over 20 years, starting Broc with a single Barrel in 2002 and continuing to grow since then, working with a large variety of grapes and regions. In 2023 they purchased Fox Hill vineyard after 10 years of working together and have now taken over the farming. We discuss how Chris got started, The natural wine scene at the time, some of his more iconic Broc wines, collaborations, and purchasing a farm, not just a vineyard. Broc is making a real delicious and diverse array of natural wines. The Fox Hill wines are especially interesting and the Love wines you can find in larger distribution than most other natural wines, in bottles and cans. The tasting room is a great place to hang out if you are in the area and grab some of the smaller releases. You can follow them on instagram.com/broccellars and find all theirwines on the website at www.broccellars.com, Like Chris mentioned they also have a of events at the winery.
