We see the entire world being connected by oceans and we celebrate coastal living daily.
Santa Barbara County is connected to the Pacific along its entire western and southern borders. The unique soils here are made of old Sea Creatures. We grow vines on ancient sand dunes and fossilized sea floors. There is a kindred pace to beach culture throughout the world, and the Pacific is deeply entwined with life here. Its shapes the coast, controls the weather and serves as a source of food and recreation.
Ranchers surf here. Same with accountants and teachers. Some locals never go back to their jobs and spend all day at the beach. They are the chosen ones, omniscient, and should be showered with the finest sunblocks. We call our Pinot Noir "pinot gnar" (när) to lightheartedly honor our beach sand covered roots and to remind us what makes Santa Barbara County so great. We make very serious wine, but we have fun doing it authentically. We are determined to preserve the original spirit of true Santa Barbara County Wine Country. No snobs, more fun.
We enjoy meeting and discussing wine with all wine enthusiasts and professionals. We uphold our winemaking standards to the highest level possible and we are a certified Zero Snobbery Winery.
