Details
"Winemaking, for me, revolves around stories. Within each glass can be found a tale that tells of season and soil, of history and vision, of careful planning and pure chance. I also make guitars, and play them (often loudly, infrequently well). I found my passion for food and wine at my grandfather's table, where the elder Rorick's love of sharing a bottle, a meal, and good conversation inspired my career in winemaking."- Matthew Rorick
🍷
Come meet Matthew Rorick of Forlorn Hope Wines and Queen of the Sierra Wines. We are totally stoked that he will be stopping by DRINK to take over our shop for 1 night only and giving us an insiders look into his wines.
😈
Forlorn Hope Wines and The Queen of the Sierras Wine will be available to purchase by the glass or retail by the bottle. Come get one of your "Rare Creatures" signed by the man himself.

At Forlorn Hope Wines, we love the longshots. We love the outsiders, the lost causes, the people/projects/ideas abandoned as not having a chance in the world.
We love the little guy because we’re all about tenacity, we relish a challenge, and – we admit it – we love us a good tussle. Taken from the Dutch ‘verloren hoop’, meaning ‘lost troop’, Forlorn Hope was the name given to the band of soldiers who volunteered to lead the charge directly into enemy defenses. The chance of success for the Forlorn Hope was always slim, but the glory and rewards granted to survivors ensured no shortage of applicants. These bottles are our headlong rush into the breach. Rare creatures from the limestone slopes of Rorick Heritage Vineyard, these wines are our brave advance party, our pride and joy – our Forlorn Hope.
