Juicy! Tropical! Dry! Tannic! Winemaker James Jelks has always been fascinated by Georgian wines, and Kind of Orange started as an accidental(ly delicious) cuvee that has evolved into a yearly tribute to amber wines. A truly special skin contact because James doesn't know now many more vintages of this cuvee he'll be able to make.
- Florèz Wines is a one man operation run by James Jelks in 2017, and his process is all about prioritizing old world technique and sensibility.
- After completing his degree in Oenology at UC Davis, James studied winemaking all over the world for 10 years before starting his own project in Santa Cruz.
- James has always wanted to visit Georgia and learn more about the country’s ancient winemaking techniques.
