Houstonian Jonathan Honefenger was named one of the five best young sommeliers in the country a number of years ago by Wine & Spirits, but decided to move out to Oregon to make wine from his favorite varietals right before the pandemic hit. Because of Jonathan’s reputation in Texas, the majority of his very limited production juice makes its way to the Lone Star state, but he’s on the rise locally. In our minds, Jonathan’s uniqueness lies in his expertise as a sommelier coupled with his expertise in the vineyard. He’s a dude who spends a lot of time in the midst of his vines, all so that he can know his fruit as intimately as possible in pursuit of making the best wine possible. Not only is Jonathan a stellar winemaker, but he’s also a magnetic personality, and you’ll have a blast learning from him.
Come join us on Friday, July 5th from 5-8pm to taste through a lineup of four wines from WiLD CHiLD, ranging from juicy Gamay to single vineyard expressions of Pinot and Chardonnay.
