Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier — The Caubleist 2022 Super Santa Cruz, Ascona Vineyard
“Ghostnote is the work of Brad Friedman, one of the most quietly skilled young winemakers in the Santa Cruz Mountains—though his résumé reads like someone in his third decade of doing this.”
“One sniff and it was like someone cut the power and lit a match — suddenly the room felt different. The nose hit like a memory — forest berries crushed into wet dirt, tobacco pulled from a forgotten coat pocket, a cold forest after rain. Lower alcohol, zero makeup, the kind of texture that makes you want to drink the wine, not evaluate it. If Ghostnote isn’t in your vocabulary yet, it will be after today.”

Meet the man behind the magic, Brad Friedman of Ghostnote Wines, who will be sharing a curated selection of his latest releases with us next Wednesday, November 13th from 5 PM to 7 PM.
Ghostnote Wines, inspired by the subtle complexities of music, is one of the newest labels to join the ranks of the New California Wine movement and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
The wines are made from lesser-known Italian varieties—such as Sagrantino, Aglianico, and Corvina—grown in California’s San Benito County at Siletto Family Vineyards; a legendary grower of esoteric grape varieties and a significant inspiration not only to Brad but to many other like-minded wine producers.
Brad’s vision with Ghostnote is to create wines that are classically styled and offer restraint, allowing the finer subtleties and complexities of the grape and terroir to shine through, which he believes to be the hallmark of the world’s best vineyards and finest wines.
Tasting fee: $15 per person
