Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
What I like about Field Recordings is that Andrew Jones is building his brand on his identity as a field hunter or vine scout first. He has a resume for establishing grape relationships and using those to offer the best intersection of quality and price in the California natural wine arena.
Take this. The idea to mix Mosaic hops with sparkling Chardonnay may seem at first gimmicky. But it’s not. It’s simple and delicious. It’s just what you’d expect. Lemony and resiny and chalky and dry and lean and also very unique. And for $22.

This is just super easy to drink and really fun. Refreshing, crushable. Like having a few beers at the bar.

2017 vintage. So yummy and tropical. Aromas are very much New Zealand-style hops with passionfruit, melon, orange blossom water, overripe peach, mango. Palate has great acidity and lots of citrus. Clean and lacking overt funkiness.

2024. The Dry Hop Monte is a vintage Pét-Nat made from old-vine Chardonnay from the Carroll Vineyard in Edna Valley fermented with a blend of aromatic hops. As a lover of dank and juicy IPAs, the NV Dry Hop Pét-Nat has been one of my favorites. The Monte kicks it up a bit!

Aug 8th, 2026NV. These are the freshest, dankest hop aromas of the three bottles I’ve enjoyed. My daughter said it smelled like weed (🤔). Paired really well with roasted vegetables and goat cheese stuffed piquillos.

Sep 13th, 2023NV. I really enjoy how the citrus, berry, and herbal notes from the Mosaic hops explode from this well carbonated Pèt Nat.
