Bedrock Wine Conversations

Morgan and Chris kick off the year talking about the 2025 Ode To Lulu Bag-in-Box Rosé. The release goes live Tuesday, January 13.

Morgan and Chris have a conversation with Bob Lindquist, formerly of Qupe and now of Lindquist Family Wines. Bob was one of the original Rhône Rangers and has made some of the greatest wines in California over the past 40 years.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Pax and Chris dive deeper into his winemaking, current roster of vineyards, the culture of sharing his cellar with others, his new project Halcon Estate, lessons learned and the future of wine.

Pax Mahle has been shaping California wine for more than 25 years. In Part One of this two-part conversation, Chris sits down with Pax to hear about growing up in Florida with two hippie parents, finding his way into the wine world through restaurants and retail, and ultimately building his namesake winery — losing it, then fighting to get it back. They also dive into the Wind Gap years, a project that helped define the fresher, more balanced "New California" style.


Pax's journey is full of remarkable achievements, good times, and hard-earned lessons, all while producing wines in a wide variety of styles, working with vineyards across the state, and spending time with some of the most influential winemakers from around the world. This is a candid, fun, deep-dive conversation, packed with insight and stories from a true 21st-century California wine pioneer who is also a dear friend.

Morgan and Chris breakdown the wines in the 2025 Winter Release. Mailing list offer goes live 10/28 and the first time buyers offer drops 11/5. Cheers!
