American Recordings
It might seem like a backwards concept to put together a brewer from Oklahoma, a winemaker from California and grapes farmed in Oregon. But it also makes perfect sense. After years of collaborating on all things fermentable, Chase Healey owner of American Solera (previously Prairie Artisan Ales) and Andrew Jones owner of Field Recordings, decided to get serious. They wanted to have some focus, but also make things in a style they really believed in. They kept coming back to Oregon Pinot Noir, the perfect mix of youthful energy and Old World funk.
Grapes have been grown in Oregon for decades, but it's really expanded over the past 10 years— the world has discovered how special it is. Sometimes, you just need an outsider's perspective to make everything a little fresher. That is American Recordings. Every harvest multiple trips are made to pick up the grapes in Willamette Valley and drive them back to the winery in Paso Robles.
