[Winery]
This winery is run by the young brothers Andrew and Adam Mariani, who are from a family that has been farming in California for four generations. They grow grapes organically on a site in southern Sonoma where Riesling and Sylvaner were first planted by Germans in the 1850s, and they practice making unique wines that are rooted in the land.
When they first set their sights on this land in 2007, the land and buildings were in such a dilapidated state that no one would have thought of establishing a winery there, much less imagining the current Scribe Winery. The Mariani brothers first started by restoring the land's ecosystem, removing the remains of the chicken farm, which needed to be thoroughly disinfected, and succeeding in restoring the original shape of the hill's slope and inclination to a level that is immediately recognizable. After that, they removed poisonous sumac and other plants that harm the grapes, and planted dandelions, cosmos, and other vegetables to create an environment favorable to insects that are essential to a healthy ecosystem.
Thus, the Mariani brothers have revived Scribe Winery and its hacienda, restoring it to the glory that was established by Julius Dressel, the German immigrant who founded a winery on this same land 100 years earlier.
The wines are made to reflect the individuality of the land to the fullest extent, avoiding strong oak aromas and high alcohol content, resulting in pure wines. All of the fields are organically grown. They believe that winemaking is agriculture, and what they want from Scribe is for their wines to create opportunities for people to meet. And they want the winery to be more than just a place to make wine, but a stage where people can connect, like a speakeasy during the Prohibition era.
During tastings, they serve homemade dishes made with ingredients from the on-site chicken farm and vegetable garden, and they also frequently host dinners featuring young, up-and-coming chefs. Perhaps this is where the new shape of California wine is coming from...
It is a representative example of the wineries that have been the talk of the town recently known as "New California," and is a winery that has attracted a lot of attention in the United States, being featured in many media outlets.
