Stolpman Vineyards

L'Avion Santa Ynez Valley Roussanne 2020

This wine has a rich, golden color. The nose offers a bounty of nice things. Lemons, apricots, almonds and vanilla, all wrapped up in buttery goodness. The palate is earthy, nutty and fruity all at once. The acidity is fresh and the finish long, with a good streak of salinity staying after the sip. — 6 months ago

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Strawberry nose. Cooked strawberry in the glass. Low alcohol and classic California fruit. Fruit forward but well balanced with good acidity. A good one for a great price if you like this style. — 8 years ago

Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Combination of several vineyards aged in tank and neutral barrels, plenty of raciness and spritzy citrus personality but enough body to stand up to a meal — 10 months ago

Has a fragrance of dark cherry, spices vanilla and chocolate.
Drinks really well with nice flavors of dark cherry, spice and pepper...and is velvety on the palate. Also has a jammy and slight peppery finish.

Two Shepherds

Saarloos Vineyard Grenache Blanc 2030

Every time I drink a Two Shepherds wine I wish I had more in my cellar. A true “Rhône ranger” producing some of the best rhône-style wines in California. We all need to drink more Two Shepherds and support innovative winemakers who think about product quality before profit and ratings. Thanks to my dear friend Bruce for introducing me to Two Shepherds and supplying me! — 4 years ago

Way extracted dryed fruit wine with in your face tannins. Good but more so as an experience. Mostly intregated after 14 years but not sure it will get any better. — 7 years ago

Didn't have too much of it because I was already a few sheets to the wine but it was lovely nonetheless. That's what happens when you don't eat all day and do a tasting and a wine dinner! — 9 years ago
