Twin Cities Wine Education welcomes a very special guest for a night of education!

Bedrock Wine Company with partner/owner Chris Cottrrel

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Chris Cottrell of Bedrock Wine Company, where we’ll explore the rich history and exceptional craftsmanship behind one of California’s most revered wineries. Bedrock Wine Company, co-founded by Morgan Twain-Peterson, MW, and Chris Cottrell, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the state's most historic vineyards. Their wines celebrate the essence of old-vine plantings, many of which date back to the late 1800s, offering a rare glimpse into California’s viticultural heritage.

At this exclusive event, Chris Cottrell will guide us through a curated tasting of Bedrock’s celebrated wines, sharing insights into their minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy and the importance of nurturing historic vineyards. Bedrock is known for expressing site-specific character while championing sustainable farming and traditional winemaking techniques. Whether it’s their signature Bedrock Heritage blend, single-vineyard Zinfandels, or rare Rhône-inspired varietals, each bottle tells a story of resilience, passion, and a deep respect for the land.

Bedrock Wine Company was founded in 2007, but its roots stretch much further back. The winery is based in Sonoma Valley, with access to some of the oldest vineyard sites in California, including the famed Bedrock Vineyard, first planted in 1854. Their commitment to vineyard preservation and authenticity has earned them a cult following among wine lovers and critics alike. Don’t miss this special opportunity to experience the magic of Bedrock wines and hear firsthand from Chris Cottrell about the legacy and future of California’s historic vineyards. Secure your spot today—this is an event no wine enthusiast should miss!
