Two winemakers, one garage dream, now a Santa Barbara treasure: J. Brix craft Rieslings with zest and purpose. The Augur comes from Kick On Ranch Vineyard, planted on sandy soils near the Pacific where bright acidity is the natural reward. Fermented dry with native yeasts in neutral vessels, this unfined and unfiltered wine pours at 12% with a saline, zippy character that transforms from sushi to sausages. The name references Roman augurs who foretold prosperitythis wine promises the same for any table it graces.
