ONX Wines, where you learn what happens
in the vineyard ends up in your glass
Whether you are just starting to
get into the wine scene, a more
advanced oenophile, or a dirt geek
interested in understanding more
about terroir-driven wines showing
a sense of place, ONX is a must-visit.
Visit their Tin City tasting room
and be welcomed into a best friend’s
comfortable living room, or sign up
for their Vineyard Tour and Tasting
experience. This is the ONX experi-

sional guidance of Drew Nenow, head
winemaker since 2018. Drew has wine
in his veins-being the nephew of the
owners/winemakers of Napa’s Behrens
& Hitchcock (Behrens Family) bou-
tique winery.
During your tasting, enjoy a vari-
ety of their current releases. Depend-

a library wine or two. Drew's only rule
in making fine wines is that there are
no rules. Every year and every vintage

each tasting of his creations will be
different from the previous.
ONX is primarily a blend house,
but don’t overlook their single vari-
etals, especially the Fiery Nights Syrah
and Black Orchid Petite Syrah. All
except two wines are estate-grown.
Due to the Templeton Gap's
uniqueness, ONX grows over
twenty grape varietals, including
