Never boring
Bennu was born with a simple idea: wine should be vibrant, expressive, and always a good vibe.
Real value for real people
We’re not your grandparents’ wine brand
Bennu was born from a desire to shake things up — to create wine that speaks the language of now. We ditched the jargon, kept the quality, and leaned into bold design, emotional storytelling, and modern formats that actually make sense. Whether you’re here for the vibe, the value, or just a great glass of something chill, Bennu delivers wines that feel as good as they taste.
This isn’t about tradition for tradition’s sake. It’s about real wine for real people, made with intention, clarity, and a little attitude.
The A Team
Tracy Kendall
Consulting Winemaker Advisor – Tracy honed her craft through immersive experiences at Australia’s Vasse Felix and New Zealand’s Felton Road before returning to Oregon, where she worked harvests at Cristom Vineyards and later joined Adelsheim as Enologist. She went on to spend ten formative years as Winemaker at Nicolas-Jay, working alongside Jean-Nicolas Méo of Domaine Méo-Camuzet.
Across these roles, Tracy developed an intuitive winemaking philosophy that blends tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for vineyard expression.Today, as part of the Bennu team, Tracy brings her technical expertise and creative energy to a brand where experimental is our middle name. She looks forward to guiding Bennu’s fresh, modern approach to Pacific Northwest wine—and making sure every wild idea still passes the BS test while staying grounded in sound, honest winemaking.
When Tracy is not helping with Bennu, she is working on her countless other projects, and here own vineyard/brand, Folly of Man.
Ryan Kelly-Burnett
Ryan brings a global perspective to his craft, shaped by wine making stints at Antica Napa Valley, Mud House in New Zealand, and a leading estate in Tasmania. His hands-on experience across both hemispheres refined his understanding of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyard to barrel. His approach blends New World precision with Old World restraint, resulting in wines that are expressive, balanced, and unmistakably Oregon
Greg Bybee
Greg Bybee has spent over fourteen years in the wine industry and believes in the potential of wines from the Pacific Northwest. Catching the wine bug in 2008, he packed his bags for California, where he spent five years at Rochioli Vineyards in the cellar and tasting room, learning about how world-class Pinot is made. He was a founding member of Vivino’s e-commerce business and the wine curator for eight years, selecting wines for the community. This is where Greg, working with the Vivino data, understood what wine lovers really want from their Oregon wines. He then jumped into wine making full steam.
