Outcast Brewing Company is proud to host Small Vines Wines for a thoughtfully curated wine tasting highlighting one of Sonoma County’s most distinctive, grower-produced wineries.

Owned and operated by Paul and Kathryn Sloan in Sebastopol, California, Small Vines is dedicated to crafting 100% estate, grower-produced wines using a centuries-old European philosophy of viticulture. Their vineyards are planted at dramatically higher densities than the California norm (4x3 and 4x4 spacing), organically farmed, dry-farmed, and meticulously managed to produce exceptionally low yields—often just one pound of fruit per vine—ensuring extraordinary quality and concentration in every bottle.

Farmer and winemaker Paul Sloan began his wine journey at a young age while working in the restaurant industry. A life-changing tasting of a rare Burgundy as a 21-year-old sommelier sparked a passion that led him to study viticulture and work under legendary grape grower Warren Dutton of Dutton Ranches. In 1998, Paul and Kathryn founded Small Vines Viticulture, becoming the only winegrowing company in Sonoma County specializing exclusively in environmentally sensitive, high-density vineyard plantings.

Their belief was simple yet ambitious: with the right sites, European-style planting techniques, and natural, low-input winemaking, California wines could rival the great wines of Burgundy. That vision became reality with the first release of Small Vines Wines in 2007, and today their wines are crafted at their estate winery—built from a restored apple barn on the historic Barlow Homestead in Sebastopol.

Join us for an evening of tasting and storytelling as we explore these beautifully expressive wines in the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of Outcast Brewing Company.
