A Bit about J Brix:
🌱 Garage-Born, Soulfully Crafted
-
Founded in 2009 by the husband-and-wife winemaking duo Jody Brix Towe and Emily Towe, J. Brix began with just three barrels in their two-car garage. Today, they craft up to 16 different wines per year from their facility in Escondido.
-
Their winemaking mantra? “Only Love.” They use neutral vessels, native-yeast fermentation, minimal sulfur dioxide; and they leave their wines unfiltered and cold-unstabilized
Experimentation Central
-
Driven by curiosity, they strive to add at least one new grape variety or style each harvest—keeping their lineup fresh, unexpected, and full of surprises.
-
One standout: Counoise—their favorite fermentation style. Described as “strawberry‑scented pink‑and‑purple‑tie‑dye foam party”

🍇 Cobolorum Riesling Pét-Nat
-
Their sparkling Cobolorum Riesling Pét‑Nat hails from Kick On Ranch Vineyard and is beloved—once hailed by The New York Times tasting panel as a “tangy, spicy, citrusy delight.”
Produced from Riesling grapes grown at Kick On Ranch in Santa Barbara County.
-
Also affectionately known as “Naughty Goblin Bubbles” (Latin Cobolorum means “goblin”), a playful nod to its liveliness and charm.
Made using the méthode ancestrale (Pét‑Nat): wine is bottled mid-fermentation so it naturally carbonates in the bottle.
-
Unfined, unfiltered, no added sulfites, and bottle-conditioned, meaning sediment and tartrate crystals may form—part of its natural charm.
-
Alcohol hovers around 12.8%, giving it a crisp yet satisfying body.
Perfect for brunches, celebrations or casual patio hangs (i.e. “brunch in pajamas”).
-
Pairs wonderfully with light seafood, fresh salads, or playful snacks—magically childlike and lively.
Aromas/flavors: bright citrus, honeydew melon, apricot, green apple, jasmine, and a hint of spice. Lively mousse with a crisp, dry finish.
-
Wine enthusiast reviews emphasize its refreshing vibe, with one comparing it to a sparkling cider or sour beer:
“It’s a Pet’nat of Riesling… clean and refreshing… Jody and Emily make soulful, terroir‑driven wines”
🍇 Colors Spin
-
Colors Spin is a fun, natural wine-style blend crafted annually by J. Brix. The 2023 release is a carbonic co‑ferment of Merlot and Chardonnay sourced from Santa Barbara County.
-
Its swirled, kaleidoscope-inspired label was crafted from a photograph of a real glass kaleidoscope—calling attention to how the wine’s flavors shift with each sip.
-
Limited production—only about 30 cases made in 2023—making it rare and sought-after.
-
Fermentation style: Carbonic maceration brings vibrant fruit flavors, soft bubbles, and playful aromatics.
-
Tasting notes: Expect lively boysenberry-forward flavors, crunchy texture elements, and character described as “licking soft rocks.” Chillable and refreshing!
-
Style highlight: It’s a delightful chillable red—perfect served cold on a summer evening or alongside casual bites.

🍇 J Brix Wonders
- Wonders is one of J. Brix’s special bottlings, typically a single-vineyard Syrah from Santa Maria Valley (usually sourced from Kick On Ranch or similar cool-climate sites).
🍷 Tasting Notes (typical vintage)
-
Color: Deep purple, vibrant edge
-
Aromas: Crushed blackberries, violets, olive tapenade, a hint of pepper
-
Palate: Elegant structure with lifted acidity and earthy minerality
-
Alcohol: Usually moderate (~13.5%), well-integrated
The name evokes the idea of awe and respect for the vineyard—especially the natural, expressive quality of Syrah grown in California’s cool-climate coastal regions. It's often considered J. Brix’s most serious or contemplative red.
🍇 Nomine Amoris
-
Nomine Amoris means “in the name of love” in Latin, echoing the J. Brix motto Only Love in life and winemaking.
-
Made from Pinot Gris grapes sourced from Santa Maria Valley – typically from the Santa Maria Bench vineyards.
Skin-contact for ~14–16 days, imparting distinct coppery hues and mild tannins.
-
Pressed to neutral French oak and aged for about 5 months.
-
Made with native yeasts, unfined, unfiltered, no cold stabilization—resulting in natural sediment and live texture.
Colour: Striking ramato/amber tones with a coppery-pink glow.
-
Aroma & Flavors: Melon, honeysuckle, tangerine, cinnamon spice, dried stone fruit and delicate florals; textured mouthfeel.
-
Palate: Medium-bodied, gently tannic, crisp finish with a touch of “electric” spice and grip.
