San Diego-based J. Brix Wines is finally ready to open its first tasting room in San Marcos at 250 North City Drive, Suite 10.
The company’s flagship tasting room is set to move into the North City Development this fall, according to the company’s website and first reported by San Diego Magazine. J. Brix Wines will replace Newtopia Cyder once they move out at the end of August. Co-owners Emily Towe and Jody Brix Towe hope to open the new 890-square-foot tasting room in early October, featuring six to 12 different wines on tap and an assortment of bottled wines.
This is a massive accomplishment for the Towes, who started making wine together in their garage 12 years ago. Now, the duo is getting ready to open their own storefront so more customers can get a taste of their delicious wines. With a variety of reds, whites, and pinks, there will be something for anyone who likes wine. The company’s website boasts an impressive 29 bottles, with nine of them sold out. Before J. Brix Wines opens its first storefront, the company will be found at a couple of upcoming events through the summer, including at Wine & Vine in Carlsbad on August 3, followed by Vino Carta in San Diego on August 29.
“From the site to the soil to the growing season, our wines, if we’re doing our work correctly, will speak in their own voices,” according to the company’s website. “We adore the variety California has to offer, which means we find ourselves compelled to make tiny quantities of as many different wines as we can… and we try to add a new grape or style each harvest. Our fruit comes from a number of vastly different, soul-stirring vineyards all over the state. We use neutral vessels, native-yeast fermentation, and absolutely nothing else, with the exception of sulfur dioxide as necessary. In keeping with this minimalist approach, we choose not to fine, filter, or cold-stabilize our wines.”
