Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara Sauvignon Blanc 2010

This wine thinks it is a dairy product - much more oak than we usually like (but that is why we tried the "long aged" - to try something different). Beautifully executed. — 11 years ago

A Tribute to Grace Wines

Santa Barbara County Grenache 2016

Elegant and mysterious SB Grenache with surprising complexity. Shadowy dark fruit- blackberry, raspberry, plum; perfumed dried flowers, incense, sweet baking spices, black tea; dark rich earth, gravel, black pepper. Light in body and color, packs an aromatic punch. Immediately bought another bottle - insane value at $25. Looking forward to trying some of her more specific bottlings to see where this vision leads. — 7 years ago

Vandenberg Riesling 2013

I had this at Kali in Los Angeles, where sommelier Drew Langley watches over an immaculately curated wine list. Does "Summer of Riesling" do it for you? It does for me, especially when they are such good examples. My wife had a Kabinett, but I had this Vandenberg example from Santa Barbara County. They listed it as "dry and medium bodied," which is good advice for a Riesling. This one, though, has a nice touch of petrol - I mean why order Riesling unless it has that? - along with extreme minerality and a muted citrus note. Paired it with the Niçoise salad to great effect. Also a hit with the wife's roast pork, Pennsylvania native that she is. — 9 years ago

Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard Mourvedre 2013

Day 1: Very pure bright strawberry and cherry. Super fresh and weightless.
Day 2: Damp earth, smoke, and spice....same weightlessness.
Two wines for the price of one.

Pali Wine Co.

Huntington Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2018

I’m a big fan of PNs from SLH and maybe see SB a second with some others but this Pali (under $20) bottling just kept on opening and ended up with a lot of sweet berries. If you don’t get Pali check them out and join their club. Great drinking whites and reds — 5 years ago

Consumed over two evenings, a solid everyday red blend of predominantly syrah with some petite sirah and grenache in the blend. Glass staining opaque in color and a very full bodied, fruit forward wine. — 5 years ago
