So, What's In A Name?

BRIX is the measure of sugar level in grapes, which the winemaker uses to decide the perfect time to harvest the grapes to start making wine. The number 26 represents the "perfect ripeness" in many of California's finest wines.

Meet our founder, Peter Langenstein

Peter spent 6 years working in marketing and business development of financial services technology products before pursuing his passion for wine. His love of wine began over a decade ago while living in France. After moving to California, he spent countless hours discovering the best small-production wines from Napa and Sonoma, as well as up-and-coming areas like Santa Barbara and Paso Robles. He has completed wine studies at the University of California Davis and the Pacific Rim Wine Education Center. Peter is an MBA graduate of the Monterey Institute of International Studies and speaks fluent French. When he's not discovering new wines, you can find him mountain biking in the Bay Area. Follow him on Strava. If you're interested in partnership opportunities or want to find out his latest favorite wines, send an email to peter@brix26.com.
