Clone and Place ~ All Things in Ernest

 Owners Erin Brooks and her husband Todd Gottula produce wines that have been created to express their clonal attributes and their terroir’s sense of place. When they began Ernest, their mission became to “focus on love of family, art, and Burgundy.” As a result, each wine is named after a character, career, and accomplishment of beloved family members. The portrait on the front label is of Todd’s Grandfather (a great touch, in my humble opinion, I know that kind of love). Erin and Todd are committed to elevating the profile of artisanal winemaking in the United States.
