Previously a gypsy winemaker\, Jacob settled his winemaking operations in Tin City in 2015. Alongside his wife Kelly\, they continue to craft blends with huge personality & nimble feet and look forward to sharing them with you! While studying under Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure for six years\, Jacob learned that wines of quality begin in the vineyard. Therefore\, he sources only the best fruit that the Central Coast offers. These vineyard locations span from Santa Barbara to Santa Lucia Highlands\, with deep roots in Paso Robles.

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Duncan Harmon of Terre et Sang
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Duncan Harmon of Terre et Sang\n \nESB is excited to debut one of Santa Barbara County’s most exciting wineries to come online in recent years! The mother and son duo (Dalita and Duncan Harmon) are ready to carry the torch for SB that Paso has been doing so well for the last 10 years\, by showcasing dynamic and powerful fruit from the best vineyards on the central coast. A testament to the great farming in SB county\, Terre et Sang wines couldn’t be more squarely aimed at the Epicurean palate. Duncan is producing fantastic head turning wines that are already grabbing the attention of wine enthusiasts and critics alike!That said\, this mother-son project is compelling as they had never worked in a vineyard or winery before launching their own wines in 2019. \nDespite being newbies\, those initial wines are attention-grabbing examples of ripe strength and textural suavity…the Terre et Sang model aims to replicate the art-driven style and unctuous substance of cult wines such as Sine Qua Non and Saxum\, and the smattering of initial releases are already coveted by those who’ve signed up for their allocation list. But unlike those other brands\, which don’t offer much opportunity for the general public to get a sip\, the Terre et Sang bottlings are now available for all to taste at the Harmons’ sleekly designed tasting room in Los Olivos\, which opened in February 2023 (Matt Kettmann). \nESB is super grateful and excited to share with you a special evening of delicious chef crafted appetizers and Terre et Sang wines! Meet Duncan\, taste his fabulous wines and learn about his journey into winemaking. Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle\, two\, or a case! \nFeatured Wines\n2021 White No. 1 \n100% Chardonnay \n2020 Kissing Vipers Grenache  \n95% Grenache\, 5% Syrah (Bienacido X-Block) \nJeb Dunnuck 96 pts \n2020 Leave it to the Birds Grenache \n 80% Grenache\, 20% Syrah (St. Rita Hills) \nJeb Dunnuck 94 pts \n2020 Patriarch Syrah \n100% Syrah (Larner Vineyard) \nJeb Dunnuck 94 pts \n2020 Passenger Syrah \n90% Syrah\, 10% Grenache \n Jeb Dunnuck 96 pts \n2020 Shadow Syrah \n100% Syrah (Bienacido) \nPassed Dishes\nDeliciousness \n \nFounded in 2019 with a singular mission to hand-craft wines that are compelling and delicious expressions of site and origin from the great vineyards of Santa Barbara County. Terre et Sang is a family. We are a mother and son leading a small crew of hardworking individuals bound by the simple desire to make what we love\, together. \n“Each vintage we make a small amount of single-vineyard Syrah & Grenache as well as some unique blends from our collection of storied sites. The winemaking is attentive and detail-oriented but never manipulative. We want the fruit to speak for itself”. \nMother and son duo Dalita and Duncan Harmon knew exactly what they wanted to do when they launched Terre et Sang: make top shelf Grenache and Syrah. They aspired to be involved in the farming of their fruit in a big way. The duo had compiled a dream list of many of the best Rhône growing vineyards in Santa Barbara County. They hoped that some of those growers would share their enthusiasm\, and agree to work with them hand in hand. Their hopes were realized. The roster of fruit sources for Terre et Sang boggles the mind: Kimsey\, Peake Ranch\, Larner\, Bien Nacido\, Thompson\, and Stolpman. Wow. We challenge you to find another fledgling winery with that array of partners (The Wine Write). \nNote all non-member ticket purchases are final. \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”
