Post Parade founder, Brook Smith, developed his love of Napa Cabernet thanks to Master Sommelier, Kevin Vogt, and vineyard owners, Paul and Suzie Frank. A partner in several bourbon ventures in Kentucky, Smith saw creating a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon as the natural next step in his luxury beverage investments.

In 2010, Brook partnered with esteemed winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown, to produce Post Parade Wines. Sourcing from some of the most coveted vineyards in the Napa Valley, Post Parade focuses on site-specific Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet Franc.

Named after the captivating moment when thoroughbred horses walk onto the racetrack, minutes before stepping into the starting gate, Post Parade is a culmination of hard work, planning and luck. Thomas and Brook believe this transcendent moment translates into their shared winemaking and viticultural vision.

“My partners and I take little for granted. This wine venture is no exception. Our goal is to create something worth appreciating, like the time we spend together.”
