There were millions upon millions of glittering lights shattering the night, tall neon-lit buildings reaching up to the sky, black limousines, bright red Ferraris and silver Porsches gliding slowly and elegantly down the main strip.

Fifth generation grape growers Lori and Steve Felten are often asked why they gave their winery in Lodi, California the unusual name of Klinker Brick. Heavier than regular bricks, klinker bricks are found in many historical Craftsman-style buildings in the Lodi area, including Steve and Lori’s home. Their deep, rich color and massive density remind the Feltens of the qualities found in their Old Vine Zinfandel.

The Feltens’ vineyards are primarily Old Vine Zin, managed in 15 individual vineyard blocks of vines ranging from 40 to 117 years old.
