LAS JARAS WINES





1
What started as a chance friendship between two passionate bon vivants led to Las Jaras’ first release (Dr. Brule’s iconic Sweet Berry Wine) in 2017 from grapes picked in 2015 and 2016.

Joel Burt and Eric Wareheim operate Las Jaras independently and collaborate with their friends and contemporaries - from fine artists to chefs - to bring the brand to life. 

Las Jaras wines are full of life and energy and are produced with a commitment to low-intervention winemaking and spontaneous fermentation using high-quality organic grapes from California and Oregon vineyards.
  
Serious Business handles PR for Las Jaras as well as their natural, canned wine brand WAVES - made in collaboration with long-time friend, artist Jen Stark.
