Meet the Maker
Marin Brennan
I produce terroir-driven wines in small batches from hand-picked estate grown fruit, fermented with indigenous yeast utilizing diverse vessels and innovative winemaking techniques. For every vintage, I create something new that wasn’t produced the season before. I feel its important to produce wines that express a varietal character unique to the North Fork, making these wines distinctive and one of a kind.
I’ve worked at Bedell for 12 years and have some of my best memories at Corey Creek. I crafted these wines for you to enjoy and create memories with us at the Tap Room or at home.
Winemaking Style
Rosé is the heart of the line up at the Corey Creek Tap Room, not only because I love making pink wine but because it opens up these grape varieties to new flavor profiles that aren’t expressed in a red wine. Most commercial Rosé wines are blends; making varietal rosé is a chance to see what Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon can create on their own.
Hand crafting small-batch wines is no easy feat. It’s just as much work (if not more) than making larger batches of wine. The North Fork wine region is almost 50 years old with continuous innovation during the past 20 years. I don’t push the proverbial envelope just to be creative, I push it to see where these grapes can go while making the best wine possible.
