Folk Machine is Kenny Likitprakong's other label — the Hobo Wine Co. founder started it in 2006 as a home for the more curious, lower-alcohol corner of his world. The Gamay comes from Cedar Lane Vineyard in Arroyo Seco, a cool Monterey AVA with sandy alluvial soils and the kind of wind-driven climate that's been compared to Carneros. Kenny ferments roughly half whole-cluster until dry, presses to neutral 500-liter puncheons, ages on the lees, and bottles unfined and unfiltered. The result is everything you want California Gamay to be: peppery, crunchy, floral, earthy — and very hard to stop drinking.

More about Folk Machine

Folk Machine is one of the labels Kenny Likitprakong makes under his Hobo Wine Company umbrella, his home for Pinot Noir and California's more unusual grapes, from Valdiguié to Charbono. A self-described former surf bum, Kenny buys from dozens of vineyards along the Northern California coast and also leases and tends his own small plots in Santa Cruz and Sonoma counties, keeping a sharp eye on every bottling. These are California wines without pretension: bright, honest and easy to love.
