The wines emulate the styles of both the Rhone and the Priorat region of northeastern Spain. \n  \n \nServed alongside these wines will be a four-savory course dinner by Blackbird’s newest chef\, Paul Osborne. A Santa Barbara native\, Paul Osborne honed his skills in Bordeaux\, France\, and is leaving his imprint on the Central Coast’s most vibrant and cutting-edge culinary scene.

Guests will see how Get Hooked’s seafood arrives\, and experience first-hand the quality of the catch\, all while learning tricks and tips to cook seafood to perfection with easy\, no-recipe needed techniques. ESB will provide beverages. \nWhile seafood counters at Santa Barbara stores are stocked with foreign products that may or may not be harvested sustainably or labeled truthfully\, CSF’s such as Get Hooked know exactly who caught your seafood\, where it was caught\, and how and when it was caught.

Having just Jim Clendenen from Au Bon Climat or Adam Tolmach from The Ojai Vineyard by themselves would be a magical night\, but having them both together — which was Jim’s idea! — is incredibly special. \nJoin Legendary winemakers Adam Tolmach Jim Clendenen\, and ESB members for our first Winemaker Fellowship Dinner! Guests will come together to enjoy a “Fellowship Dinner”\, where each guest brings a food item (starter\, side\, or entree) to share family style…(i.e. Potluck) and participate in a side-by side tasting featuring 12 wines\, with Jim Clendenen and Adam Tolmach in attendance! Members will meet and sit with Jim and Adam\, who will share their stories and wine through a sit-down dinner provided by the members. Hear how Adam and Jim have shaped the landscape of wine in Santa Barbara\, as you taste through recent vintages and library wines. See guidelines for the Fellowship Dinner at the bottom of this page. \nWines included in the tasting are as follows:\nRECEPTION\nClendenen Family 2017 Tocai Friulano “Borgo Buon Natale”\nOjai Vineyard 2017 Viognier ~ Roll Ranch\nSEATED TASTING & DINNER\nAu Bon Climat 2011 Chardonnay ~ Bien Nacido Vineyard \nOjai Vineyard 2016 Chardonnay ~ Bien Nacido Vineyard\nAu Bon Climat 2010 Pinot Noir ~ Isabelle (Magnum) \nOjai Vineyard 2010 Pinot Noir ~ Fe Ciega (Magnum)\nClendenen Family 2005 Syrah/Viognier ~ Rancho La Cuna Vineyard \nOjai Vineyard 2008 Syrah ~ Presidio (Magnum)\nDESSERT\nClendenen Family 2012 Late Harvest Viognier \nOjai Vineyard “Kick On Ranch” Riesling Ice Wine\n*Take home wine options are younger vintages of the library wines featured at the event: \nAu Bon Climat 2015 Pinot ~ Noir Isabelle\nClendenen Family 2012 Syrah/Viognier ~ Rancho La Cuna Vineyard\nOjai Vineyard 2015 Pinot Noir ~ Fe Ciega\nOjai Vineyard 2015 Syrah ~ Presidio\n \nJim Clendenen landed in UCSB to study pre-law\, but ditched that after working a harvest at Zaca Mesa Winery in 1978. It was a fateful trip to Burgundy in 1981 that crafted his idea of what wine should be. So when he returned\, Clendenen teamed with his friend Adam Tolmach\, also a Zaca Mesa alum\, to start Au Bon Climat inside of a Los Alamos dairy barn back in 1982.\nAs the brand grew\, Clendenen moved into a winery surrounded by Bien Nacido Vineyard and became the face of Santa Barbara County wine across the country and world — he still maintains an intense travel schedule proselytizing the region’s wines to all who will listen\, and even some who won’t. His Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays became recognized for their high-acid\, age-worthy style\, which he never wavered from even as consumer and critical tastes moved riper.In 1991\, Adam Tolmach left Au Bon Climat to start his own brand\, The Ojai Vineyard\, on a property in Ojai that his grandfather bought in 1933. He was already growing Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc on the property — although those grapes would succumb to disease in the ensuing years — so built a winery on the property that he still uses today.He developed a widely respected and critically beloved brand that’s focused on Pinot Noir\, Chardonnay\, Sauvignon Blanc\, Syrah\, and other Rhone varietals. Adam was one of the first vintners to start buying grapes by the acre rather than the ton\, allowing greater control of the farming. Most of the grapes come from Santa Barbara County\, but Adam is still focused on the Ojai Valley\, where he sources Syrah and is now growing disease-resistant hybrid grapes on his property.Both Jim Clendenen and Adam Tolmach are proponents of library wines. The tasting room for Au Bon Climat in downtown Santa Barbara regularly hosts vintage tasting events\, and The Ojai Vineyard tasting room just off of the Ojai arcade has dozens of older vintages for sale every day. \nGuidelines for the Fellowship Dinner: \n1. There will be approximately 25 members in attendance. Guests will consume small portions of your dish\, so no need to bring full size servings (i.e. 25 full-size hamburgers). Instead\, cut into thirds or quarters\, with each portion being a serving for one person.) \n2. Couples or parties of 2 have option of bringing 1 larger dish (like a main\, sandwiches\, pasta\, casserole)\, or two regular-sized dishes (like small bites\, salads\, sides). Parties of 1 bring one dish of choice. \n3. Please bring a serving utensil for your dish\, if needed. ESB will provide plates\, napkins and silverware. \n4. There is no kitchen! Your dish should be something that does not require a heat source. (It’s like a picnic…but inside…and instead of grass\, beautiful art.) Foods that can be served warm\, cool\, or at room temperature are preferred. Sorry\, fondue might not be the best idea. \nThe event will begin with a reception with two wines\, followed by seated tasting of the following 4 wines. Then there will be a break for dinner. With dinner\, the tastings will continue with two syrups and dessert wines. \nDon’t want to cook? No problem! Call up C’est Cheese\, Tino’s or Whole Foods\, etc.\, and have them put together a cheese\, charcuterie\, apertivo platter\, or something from the prepared foods. Alternatively\, you can get take-out from your favorite restaurant.

Jim runs all things operations\, while their son\, Scott\, works side-by-side with Jacky as the winemaking team. And the winemaking is what I think really sets Young Inglewood apart from the rest of the pack.  \nIn 2015\, Young Inglewood became one of the first wineries to be certified Napa Green\, a testament to our commitment to the environment. The winemakers grow and make wine from five Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon\, Cabernet Franc\, Merlot\, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Harvesting the grapes by sight\, touch and taste\, waiting for the optimal balance of sugar\, acids and flavor. Grape varieties and vineyard sections are fermented separately to promote varietal and clonal nuances. Extended aging in French oak builds complexity in their red wines and Chardonnays. Fermentation and a short aging period in stainless steel protect the purity of their Rosé. \n“Our family has always shared a love of wine – a passion first ignited when Jim and Jacky were in college together. Over the years\, wine enhanced our lives – on the dinner table at home\, and when we traveled to the world’s wine regions.” \nToday the family works together on the winemaking. They live and work onsite\, hand-crafting the limited production wines for balance and elegance\, and welcoming guests to the Napa gem that is Young Inglewood. \nYoung Inglewood is situated on the coveted benchland nestled up against the Mayacamas in the Southwestern reaches of the St Helena\, appellation. The benchland is renowned for world class Cabernet Sauvignon and other red Bordeaux varietals. The vineyard is further distinguished by seemingly bottomless gravelly loam soil punctuated by fist-sized rocks. It is part of the famed alluvial fan that fingers outward from the Mayacamas into select sites. \nThe vineyard is managed with a site-specific mix of organic and sustainable farming to enhance vine health and balance. These farming techniques\, combined with Young Inglewood’s deep well-drained soils and mountain-moderated climate\, allows them to produce Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals of profound depth and complexity. \nAligote is the second most grown white grape in Burgundy. Young Inglewood Vineyards is proud to craft the only bottling of this rare grape in Napa Valley. Jacky’s Vineyard. 1 barrel annually. \n\nAs there is a wide range of bottle selections featured\, this event offers two take home bottle options: One option for their Estate Cabernets\, and one for the additional varietals including Right Bank Blend\, Malbec\, Aligote and Vin Clair Rose. Guests may also purchase additional wine from Young Inglewood directly.

Tremblay to host a culinary demonstration on how to store\, prep and cook seafood sourced through Get Hooked\, a Community Supported Fishery Service that delivers locals the highest quality sustainable seafood\, sourced directly from local fishermen. \nLocal\, sustainably-caught seafood is not easy to find in stores in Santa Barbara. Most of Santa Barbara’s seafood leaves town\, and the community is largely unaware of how desirable our local seafood is and how much better it is for the environment compared with buying imported seafood. \nChef P.A. Tremblay will lead the demonstration which will end with a meal featuring the fresh catch courtesy Get Hooked. This spontaneous\, and (partially) improvised interpretation of the dinner preparation will be a fun\, homespun approach to cooking; utilizing ingredients available in a home kitchen\, and techniques that are easily adaptable to any species of fish. \nA representative from Get Hooked will also be present to educate members on Community Supported Fisheries and sustainability\, and the diversity of the Santa Barbara Channel! Guests will see how Get Hooked’s seafood arrives\, and experience first-hand the quality of the catch\, all while learning tricks and tips to cook seafood to perfection with easy\, no-recipe needed techniques. ESB will provide beverages.\nWhile seafood counters at Santa Barbara stores are stocked with foreign products that may or may not be harvested sustainably or labeled truthfully\, CSF’s such as Get Hooked know exactly who caught your seafood\, where it was caught\, and how and when it was caught. They provide information on the species of seafood\, health benefits\, and even a short bio of the fisherman. Their passion is bringing the Santa Barbara Channel into your home!

Whether you are a beginning taster just now recognizing your appreciation of Santa Barbara Pinots\, or a seasoned wine enthusiast looking to add to your collection\, come and take part in a fun\, girls only evening\, and let your palate take the lead! \nThe evening will start with a Rosé toast and a lite dinner (suitable for all diets)\, and will follow with a blind tasting and open conversation of three highly-rated single varietal white wines led by Debby Allen. Through the evening we will discuss the defining factors behind three varietals or regions\, using the textbook wine tasting criteria: see\, swirl\, smell\, sip…(and then sip some more). \nDebby Allen\, who is leading the tasting\, was a key figure in Cencibel\, a women only wine group in Philadelphia\, PA; (named for the grape as well as for its intended “sensible” meaning).
