Brook Bannister entered the wine
business after his mother, who started the business, had to step
away. But it’s not as simple as that. Bannister Wines had it’s
beginnings in an uncommon way. Brook continued his mothers endeavor
and became a winemaker after growing up surrounded by the business.
We met with Brook at the cellar in Healdsburg during a quiet Saturday
morning surrounded by the sleeping barrels.

segment defining the wine term “Wild Yeast”
