Help us welcome winemaker Kristie Tacey of Tessier Wines! Kristie will be in the house pouring and chatting about her wines today from 3-6pm. Info on Kristie and the featured wines are below.

Each month, our shop highlights a different small, local California winemaker by acting as a pop-up tasting room, exclusively featuring their wines by the flight or glass. You’re also welcome to drop in anytime all month to taste and discover.

Kristie Tacey of Tessier winery is a phenom: a published research scientist in microbiology who worked on the Human Genome Project before answering the siren song of wine. Which, if you think about it, makes absolute sense, since there's definitely plenty of microbiology happening in winemaking. As Kristie explains, what's driven all she's done is her fascination with the cycle of life, and her wines are a tribute to the annual lifecycle of each vineyard she works with. As a true researcher, she prefers to observe and appreciate the nuances each vintage of wine takes on, rather than manipulate or coerce her wines into being something they're not naturally. Bonus points: Kristie is part of a team that does a wine, community, and music spot on KXSF on Sundays, 5-7pm, and her wines all come with their own song pairings. Play on!
