Red Thread Wines

Red Thread Wines, founded by Brian and Gretchen Brakesman, is a boutique winery nestled on Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. The name is inspired by a Chinese proverb symbolizing an invisible red thread that connects those destined to meet, reflecting the winery's philosophy of wine as a connector of food, family, joy, and laughter.

The winery specializes in small-batch productions, sourcing grapes from their estate on Howell Mountain and select vineyards in Sonoma and Lake counties. Their portfolio includes a Howell Mountain Red Wine Blend, combining Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah, known for its bold and expressive character.

Tastings are available by appointment, offering guests an intimate experience to explore their handcrafted wines.
