Kaeley Weinberger of Weinberger Wines will be sharing her first vintage with us!

Kaeley has been making wine as the assistant winemaker for Los Angeles River Wine Co. and Scholium Project alongside Abe Schoener since 2019. Now we finally get to experience her wines! Wines that came from her cheerful dedication, immense respect of the winemaking process and complete care and devotion of the vineyards in which she works with.

We are thrilled to have Kaeley for this Bar Takeover and celebrate these wines of California!

Join us at The Bar, no ticket needed!

WINEMAKERS APOLOGY:

I WANT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. HONEST ABOUT MY MOTIVATION FOR CREATING THE LABEL - WEINBERGER WINES. WHILE ETHICAL FARMING AND WORKING IN THE SPECIAL SOILS OF CALIFORNIA ARE PRESENT IN MY THINKING, THEY ARE MORE OF A FUNCTION THAN A MOTIVATION.

G.H. HARDY’S ESSAY THE MATHEMATICIAN’S APOLOGY EXPLAINS IT BEST. IF YOU WILL ALLOW THE DIVERSION.

THE FIELD OF MATHEMATICS THAT HARDY DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO WAS ONE WITH LITTLE PRACTICAL APPLICATION. FOR EXAMPLE, YEARS DEVOTED TO PROVING THERE ARE INFINITE PRIME NUMBERS-NO PRACTICAL APPLICATION. HARDY'S DEVOTION AND FERVOR TOWARDS HIS FIELD WAS AN OBSESSION INNATE. THROUGH HIS COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHERS, THE SOLVING OF THESE PROOFS EXHIBITED SUCH BEAUTY, AND REVEILED SO MUCH TO HIM AND HIS COLLEGES, THAT PRATICALITY WAS OF LITTLE CONCERN.

IN THIS ESSAY, WRITTEN TOWARDS THE END OF HIS LIFE, HARDY CAUTIONS THE READER. THAT THE INSPIRATION TO WORK ON THESE BEAUTIFUL, POINTLESS PROBLEMS IS LIMITED. HE ENCOURAGES ANYONE TOUCHED BY THE COMPULSION NOT TO WASTE ANOTHER MOMENT, BEGIN NOW.

ALL THIS TO SAY I AM MAKING THESE WINES BECAUSE THE PROCESS, THE WORK, CONTAINS UNMATCHED BEAUTY, AND THE COMPULSION IS SO STRONG. I WILL BEGIN NOW. AND LIKE HARDY, COLLABORATION IS OFTEN THE SOURCE OF BEAUTY AND PURPOSE. IT IS MY HONOR TO TOIL AWAY WITH OTHERS TOUCHED BY COMPULSION AND BEAUTY TO MAKE THESE WINES. AND IT IS MY HONOR TO PRESENT THEM TO YOU.
