Alex Krause and John Locke founded Birichino in Santa Cruz in 2008. Drawing four decades making wine in California, France, Italy, and beyond, they prefer to work with family-owned, own-rooted 19th and early 20th century vineyards (and a few from the late disco era) to produce natural, delicious wines made with minimal intervention that give pleasure, revitalize, and revive.
