Brotherhood

Sharing 2009 Fotinos with someone involves commitment.

Hey man, I know this sucks, but would you be willing to help me move tomorrow?

“Of course, Chris! We’re wine brothers, after all!”

Oh, great! Thanks so much! Wait… did you say, ‘wine brothers’?

“Yeah, wine brothers. It’s like the grown-up version of blood brothers.”

I don’t understand.

“Your wine brother is the person you’ve shared 2009 Fotinos Brothers Pinot Noir with. It’s a really special wine, with its aromas of ripe red fruits, its flavorful array of spices and subtle smokey notes, not mention its velvety smooth finish. You don’t just drink that kind of wine with anyone.”

Really? I kind of thought that was the point: buy a few bottles and spread it around as much as possible, you know, to turn people on to a great wine they may not have had before.

“What? So then, how many other wine brothers do you have?”

Well I brought a bottle to that BYOB Italian Restaurant last month. And then of course, there was Jerry’s Party a few weeks back – brought two or three bottles there. And I’ve had a glass here or there with friends between then and now… so I don’t know? Twenty to forty wine brothers.

“Gross.”

Well, sorry to offend you. But anyway, in terms of the move, I was thinking we could start getting stuff boxed up bright and early…

“Can’t make it.”

But you just said…

“I wasn’t talking to you before. I was talking to Chris, my brother in wine, but it turns out he died a long time ago…”

Family Wine Making Heritage
 
In Lefkas, Greece, toward the end of the 19th Century, our grandfather, Christos, was taught the art of traditional wine making by his father. Christos immigrated to the United States in the early part of the 20th Century and eventually farmed his own vineyard in Sonoma, California. As Christos perfected his viticulture and wine making techniques, he passed his knowledge along to his son, Tom, our father. As children we were immersed in this deep tradition, working in the vineyard in the Spring and Summer months and harvesting in the Fall. Being a large family, twenty or so of us would meet monthly at our grandparent's home and vineyard enjoying food, wine and each other. Sundays at our grandparent's house were spent eating Greek lunches under the grape arbor with family and friends. This was back in the days when we would climb inside half barrels and stomp grapes with our feet. We have come a long way since then. In 1968, our father, Tom, purchased his own vineyard. He used the traditional skills of his heritage along with his own contemporary ideas to create one of the best private label Pinot Noir's in Napa Valley. In the 1970's, he won many 1st place ribbons in Napa, Sonoma, and Santa Rosa County wine making contests.
 
We grew up with this rich history of wine making, honing our skills to produce what has taken four generations to perfect, our 2006 Pinot Noir. Unfortunately, our father passed away in 1983. We want to dedicate this first vintage in his memory. Our mother, Martha, remains involved in the family vineyard, carrying on our father's legacy.
