Brothers John and Steve Dragonette and close friend Brandon Sparks-Gillis founded Dragonette Cellars in 2005 after having worked together at a renowned wine shop in Los Angeles. Their shared passion for great wine brought them to wild, windy, and remote northern Santa Barbara County where they spent the next several years seeking out extraordinary, cool-climate vineyards and dedicating themselves to careful, patient, minimalist winemaking. As vignerons, they have committed themselves, above all else, to the mindful farming of precise blocks in exceptional vineyards for low yields and high quality and to the shepherding of these grapes into wines of purity, complexity and balance. Meet Brandon Sparks-Gillis, listen to his story, and get to know him in 30 questions on the Wine Soundtrack podcast.

The Brander Vineyard, in the Los Olivos District AVA of Santa Barbara County, focuses on Bordeaux varieties. Planted in 1975, the first wine was produced in 1977. It was Sauvignon Blanc and today, they release approximately 6/8 different Sauvignon Blanc offering in any given vintage which is why founder Fred Brander is known as the “King” of Sauvignon Blanc. After studying electrical engineering, Fabian Bravo was working in aerospace. But with a growing interest in winemaking, he switched courses. He worked his first harvest for Brander in 2007 and has been there ever since. As the winemaker at Brander, Fabian continues the tradition of Bordeaux varieties, with a focus on Sauvignon Blanc. Meet Fabian Bravo, listen to his story, and get to know him in 30 questions on the Wine Soundtrack USA podcast.
