Description

Geek Alert. Join our Estate Director, Stephen Janes, in our Private Cellar for a detailed tasting focusing on the concept of terroir, a French term used to describe the location and environmental influences affecting grape and wine quality. Using several different Estate bottlings, we will taste through various lots highlighting examples of wines grown in different vineyards and regions in Santa Barbara County. 
We will discuss why and what influences are affecting each wine’s aroma, taste, complexity, and quality with conversations wide-ranging, educational, and covering all things about winemaking and viticulture. 
This experience will be complemented by a curated selection of California cheeses and charcuterie with all the accouterments.
