Bruliam Wines - Sonoma County Winery and Wine Tastings

I first heard about Bruliam on the Wine for Normal People podcast, and decided to order their tasting pack. The wines were so terrific, we’ve continued to regularly order. The Pinot noirs are just lovely, and the Chardonnay is fantastic! We currently have a few bottles each of the Pinot, the Chardonnay and the rosé in the wine fridge, ready for the holiday weekend. I may throw a Zinfandel in there as well😊

Bruliam offers my favorite Pinot noirs. Every bottle I have tried is delicious. My most recent purchase - Sangiacomo Robert’s Road - opens with dark cherries, brilliant entry and a clean finiish. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about how great of an experience my wife and I had with Kerith tasting and talking wine for 2 hours! I’m an aspiring sommelier and being able to hear her story, hear the story of all the vineyards, and to learn more about the science behind it all was just a phenomenal time. If you’re in Sonoma, book the 2 hour tasting, sit back and enjoy the conversations and phenomenal wine!

My wife and I stopped by Bruliam as we passed through Sonoma county. She could not have been more accommodating, generous, or knowledgeable and she makes great wine! Some were layered and complex enough to shelf for years (if you can resist) while others were easy to uncork and drink for no other reason than they are yummy!
Definitely a wine you’ll want to drink and a winemaker you’ll want to meet!
Thanks Kerith!🍷

We spent a few days in Russian River and had a recommendation to visit Bruliam Wines. We signed up for a tasting and had a WONDERFUL experience! Our tasting was just the two of us and Kerith the winemaker. Her wines are excellent and we learned a lot about the region. Kerith also gave us a tour of the winemaking facility, which was fascinating. We HIGHLY recommend taking the time to visit Bruliam Wines! Kerith’s passion about what she does and being able to spend time with her was a high point of our trip.

This was a wonderful experience! The wines were all awesome, but the true treasure was Kerith. She was equally conversant in “wine-geek” speak and in normal conversation. She was clearly proud of her wines, and for good reason. I can’t wait to go back to taste again.

Bruliam is the best experience. Kerith is the most knowledgeable and funny about wines. She can go as deep as you want. The wines are outstanding and she know how to get her hands on the best grapes. Highly recommend going to Grand Cru!

The Winemaker Tasting at Bruliam Wines is hands-down one of the best winery experiences I've ever had. I visited last weekend with friends and immediately regretted not going sooner!

Kerith led us through a tasting of six different, delightful wines (white, red, and dessert), and gave us a walk-through of the working winery facility. She is warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to tailor the experience to our group's interests. The included charcuterie and Kerith’s homemade biscotti (paired with the late harvest Viognier) were perfect finishing touches. Highly recommend! Shout out to Chewy, the well-behaved winery dog, who kept us company.

Absolutely loved Bruliam! And meeting Kerith was wonderful. Her self-taught knowledge and genuine passion for the art of wine making came through during the tasting/tour and it was an honor to share the time with her! We learned a ton and had a lovely afternoon.

The wine: just gorgeous. Every single pour was small batch and top notch. Even the Chardonnay was a treat. We brought some bottles home, of course; it will be a joy to open them!

The tour: not your everyday tour. Seeing Grand Cru was fascinating. An inspiring collective of wine makers using a mix of new, old, simple, and complicated machinery and techniques. So much fun to see it all during harvest, too!

Highly recommend making Bruliam part of your Sonoma County experience!

A visit to Bruliam Wines is a must! And I highly recommend that you schedule a tasting with Kerith Overstreet, the vintner and owner. She spent about 2 hours with us and we tasted so many of her wonderful wines. We were also privileged to taste a local cheese and Kerith brought biscotti that she makes for us to taste as well. Everything we tasted was delicious and of course we took home several bottles.

Highly recommend a personalized tasting with Kerith, the founder and winemaker of Bruliam. We tasted three of her 2023 Pinot Noirs, each grown in a different AVA in California, each delicious and well crafted. Best of all, each as unique as siblings—reflecting the winemaker’s successful desire to produce wines that reflect terroir. Though her specialty is Pinot noir, we sampled other wines, including her Zinfandel—a wine that has positively changed my perception of California Zin. Kerith is personable and smart. You can geek out on viticulture and learn a lot, or kick back and enjoy great wine and company.

Kerith is making exceptional wines with grapes sourced from renowned vineyards from Mendocino, Sonoma and the Santa Lucia Highlands near Monterey. While her focus is on Pinot Noir, she makes a remarkable Chablis-style Chardonnay and an elegant Zin from the Rock Pile AVA. Each of her Pinots present the unique characteristics and essence of the region from which they were produced. After one visit with her at the Crush Pad cooperative facility in Windsor, I became a fan and look forward to following her efforts.

This was our very first wine tasting and we had a wonderful experience. Kerith was a great host and shared her immense knowledge of wine making. We enjoyed every bit of it!!

Kerith and Bruno were so amazingly friendly and insightful for our visit today. We had a big group and they answered all of our most detailed questions. From their rose's to Chardonnay to Pinot Noirs- there was not one wine that we didn’t love. And the local cheeses that were paired were delicious as well. Go support this family owned winery- you will love it!!!

Such a lovely time with a personal touch from the winemaker. She is delightful and so knowledgeable about her wines and her passion comes thru!
