Our Story
We are dedicated to crafting world-class Chardonnay from sites of distinction in California. Careful vineyard selection, meticulous attention to detail, and adherence to traditional winemaking practices are the pillars of our winemaking philosophy. The results of this process are wines that emanate energy and substance. We seek to produce wines that simultaneously pique one’s intellectual side while providing ultimate pleasure to the senses.
We are a husband-and-wife team of wine industry veterans, Brian Ball and Laura Jones. The wines are made by Laura, who fine-tuned her Chardonnay and Pinot Noir winemaking skills during a 5-year tenure at Aubert and a stint at Domaine Armand Rousseau. Brian manages the business and sales for Sphaerics.
We have long shared a vision of founding a winery whose wines will withstand the test of time. In 2022 we founded Sphaerics to pursue this ambition. We pay homage through our wines to the vintners who inspired us and we share a deep reverence for the preceding generations who contributed to the foundation of winemaking knowledge around the world we inherited.
