DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Larry Schaffer of Tercero Wines\nJoin us for our final winemaker evening of the year with Larry Schaffer of Tercero Wines! Kick off the Chrismahanukwanzakah season with an evening of fine wines\, delicious passed appetizers\, and great company! \nTercero Wines focusses around a wide range of Rhone varietals\, while flirting with Pinot Noir\, Gewürztraminer\, Cabernet Franc across an impressive list of over 10 different bottles including ! Although our Winemaker Evenings typically feature 4-5 wines; at this event we’ll be featuring 7 bottles from Tercero’s current line-up\, along with additional paired bites to suit! An evening fitting for the holidays\, not to mention Tercero wines are a great value which all of us Epicureans are searching for! \nLarry did not start out in the wine industry\, (like many of the great winemakers in our region); but after taking classes at community colleges with kids who literally could have been his kids\, he received his MS in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis\, and then moved to the Santa Barbara County wine region in 2005. Starting on the winemaking team at Fess Parker Winery\, he eventually branched off to start and run Tercero wines. Larry is adept not only at winemaking but at explaining the process in a very user-friendly manner. His inclusive and lighthearted approach to tasting wines makes for an entertaining\, fun\, and eye-opening experience! \nFeatured Wines\n2022 Trilogia\n2017 Verbiage Blanc\n2022 Carbonic Mourvedre\n2021 Counoise\n2021 Cabernet Franc\n2021 Pinot Noir\n2015 Grenache\nPassed Dishes\nSpanish Marinated Shrimp w/Herbs & EVOO in Rice Crackers\nCitrus\, Olive + Feta Skewers w/Chimichurri\nBurrata + Pesto Angolotti\nButternut squash + chorizo tacos\, with black bean puree\, cotija & cilantro\nBeef Sliders w/Muenster & Bacon Jam\n\nTercero Wines concentrates on small lot\, hand crafted wines using grapes exclusively from leading Santa Barbara County vineyards and works with grapes from nearly every AVA within the county. Though his main concentration is working with rhone varieties\, Larry remains curious and therefore also works with pinot noir\, gewürztraminer\, cabernet franc\, and a few other fun and interesting grapes. And therein lies the beauty of Santa Barbara County. \n“Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!

By combining the classic styles of Old World wines\, and the artistic\, and often\, hands-off practices of the New World\, Kiranbay has created something beautiful and unique: Saint K Wines. After the harvest ended\, it didn’t take him long to pack up his belongings and follow his passion out west to make wine. Winemaker Chris Kiranbay is originally from Arlington\, VA and has a longstanding history in the wine industry. After 15 years in fine dining and wine brokerage\, a trip to Napa inspired a move across country to California where Chris worked a harvest in Paso Robles back in 2010; as his dream was to work with Rhône Valley varietals. He then began working for Herman Story Wines in 2013\, and subsequently began making some of his own wines; with inspiration from winemakers such as Russell From\, Vailia Esh at Desparada\, and Curt Schalaclin of Sans Liege. \nI’ve never done anything by the book. I grew up on three different continents and my first culinary training came from the best cook I knew… Mom. I bailed on public education and took my talents to prison food service\, where I once almost started a riot by adding curry powder to the pot pie. And after years of tasting\, pairing\, and generally kicking ass in DC-area restaurants\, I bolted. I set off for California to make my own. I pick stellar grapes at the perfect time and let them do their thing. In the end\, it’s about expressing myself\, about having a good time. The same spirit that inspired that dash of curry powder. Innovative? Yeah. Risky? Sure. Fun? Come find out. \n-Chris Kiranbay \nLike others who’ve worked under Russel From\, Cameron Stoffel made his first batch of wine in a storage closet in 2011 at Herman Story Wines. Since then\, he’s been producing micro-lots of high quality wine. No bottle of Ultima Tulie is sold without first touching his hands. Cameron grew up in an Italian influenced family. His great-grandparents emigrated to the US from a small island called Ischia\, and brought their food and wine culture with them. Cameron was about 7 years old when he tasted his first glass! “I was curious about this stuff they drank all the time. My grandfather said\, ‘Let the kid try it.’ So I did.” \nWith a background in graphic communications\, Cameron first explored Viticulture and Oenology in school\, and eventually interned at Herman Story Wines for a harvest; and soon after joined Russel From’s team. From there Russel gave him the opportunity to explore winemaking on his own in the adjacent building; and In 2011\, he established Ultima Tulie\, and made the conscious decision to make wine. \nTo Cameron\, Ultima Tulie represents a place beyond the borders of the known world. It was used during times of early exploration\, when very little was known about the world. The name captures Cameron’s love of exploring and going past any self-imposed limits\, living with purpose\, and getting off the beaten path\, and hopefully finishing a damn good bottle of wine while doing so. His wine IS his Ultima Tulie. \n \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!

Several trips to the Cannes Film Festival led to his obsession with Rhone varietals. He was raised on a ranch in West Templeton in the Paso Robles Willow Creek District AVA. He and his family raised livestock and grew rotating crops on the 40 acre property which his parents purchased in the 70s. The family grew up with many pioneering grape farmers in the area\, including the Dusi and Smith families. Terry and Pebble Smith planted the James Berry Vineyard with their son Justin in the 80s. Adams became childhood friends with Justin and they remained close throughout their college years. When Smith was finishing up at Cal Poly\, Mark Adams was starting at Chico State. They stayed in touch and Smith exposed Adams to the earliest incarnations of homemade JBV red wines. As James Berry Vineyard grapes became more famous\, Adams was hip to their growth\, from the earliest Wild Horse JBV wines to Smith’s development as a vigneron. These experiences were the beginning of a life-long love affair with Rhône varietals and the Paso Robles wine growing region. \nAs a musician and cinema student in college\, Adams went on to write original music and edit sound for film and television\, ultimately landing at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City\, California. He toured with several music groups and was consistently in restaurants and bars\, further exposing him to the world of wine. The film industry took him to the south of France\, where he was exposed to the wonderful wines of the Rhône on repeated visits to the Cannes Film Festival. Musical tours of Europe enlightened Adams to the fact that many Europeans made small batches of wine for personal consumption in their homes. Through all of this\, his heart was never far from Templeton\, and a seed was planted to grow wine grapes on the family property. He visited home regularly hoping to find an opportunity to return and farm the property again. That opportunity began to present itself in the early 2000’s when Saxum was taking flight. Adams was the first employee for Justin Smith at Saxum and soon after\, planted 4 acres of his own rooted Estrella Clone Syrah on the Adams Ranch. These vines were all propagated from cuttings off the Bone Rock terraces at James Berry Vineyard. \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Ryan Pease of Paix Sur Terre
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Ryan Pease of Paix Sur Terre\nESB is delighted to showcase some of the most unique wines in all of the central coast produced by none other than Ryan Pease of Paix Sur Terre! Between the rare Ugni Blanc (commonly used in cognac) and the deep and exquisite selection of high quality Mourvèdre\, Ryan’s wines offer some of the best value in all of Paso and ESB has special access to his upcoming 2021’s and a few library specialties! \nPaix Sur Terre was the dream of Ryan and his wife\, Nicole with a vision for creating a portfolio of truly mineral-driven Mourvèdres along with small lots of Grenache and Syrah\, so they founded Paix Sur Terre in 2010.  The goal was to produce the wines they love\, single-vineyard Mourvèdre\, Rhône blends\, and Mediterranean-style white wines. With fruit sourced from some of the best vineyards in Paso Robles\, Paix Sur Terre has developed a reputation for truly creative wines that stand out from the crowd\, producing unique varietals not found anywhere else in Paso. Their wines are elegant\, well-balanced\, complex\, and true to their Paso Robles terroir. Ryan uses minimal oak\, lots of whole cluster\, and does everything possible to make site-specific wines.  Exhaustive\, single-vineyard sourcing allows Ryan to produce unusual varieties like Ugni Blanc along with his personal favorite\, Mourvèdre. Sourcing from nine stunning vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles\, some of the greatest sites in the area\, the fruit is always picked keeping freshness in mind to express a balance of mouthwatering\, savory\, and mineral qualities. For that reason\, all of his wines are nearly sold out! \nNow is your chance to meet Ryan\, a wonderful human being that started out with a finance degree and finished with a viticulture degree\, and learn about the journey he and Nicole have been on to bring such creative wines to the world.\nRyan Pease started out in the wine industry while attending college at Cal Poly\, San Luis Obispo. Looking for a part time job\, he came across a posting for tasting room help at Linne Calodo in Paso Robles. While on a break from school\, Ryan took a fated trip to France\, and it was there that he set his mind on making wine. One night\, he said\, “I was sitting on the banks of the Rhône River in the same spot Van Gogh painted ‘A Starry Night’ watching the fireworks of the Bastille Day celebration.” He was sipping from a bottle of Domaine Tempier\, and it was one of those moments you never forget. It all clicked for him\, then and there. Ryan went on to finish his shifting his focus to Wine and Viticulture. After a couple harvests working with  Paso Robles wineries like Linne Calodo and Epoch he decided to start Paix Sur Terre while serving as head winemaker at Grey Wolf Cellars. After revitalizing Grey Wolf’s wine program\, he accepted the winemaking role at Brecon Estate before leaving to focus 100% on Paix Sur Terre\, as he does now. \nFeatured Wines\n2021 Ugni Blanc\n2021 Days Between\n100% Counoise\n2020 Been Away Too Long\n100% Mourvedre\, Denner Vineyard\n2015 Song’s if it’s Own ~ Library Wine ~\n58% Mourvedre\, 22% Grenache\, 17% Syrah\, 3% Cinsault\nWines will be available for purchase.\n\nMenu\nGingered Shrimp Salad\nCaesar Salad Toasts\nChermoula Lamb with Preserved Lemon Labneh\nBroccoli Pesto Tostada with Ricotta Salata\n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\n \nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight! \nIMPORTANT NOTE: This event is being held in an incredibly special private home. In order for this to take place\, the host kindly requires all attendees be vaccinated.

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Stanley Barrios of TOP Winery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Stanley Barrios of TOP Winery! \nEnjoy a fantastic evening of wine and appetizers with one of California’s rising stars\, winemaker Stanley Barrios of TOP Winery. TOP specializes in hand crafted Rhone varietal wines from westside Paso Robles. \nStanley Barrios was born and raised in Los Angeles\, California. He was influenced by music\, art\, and food and could have easily entered into any of those occupations; until he discovered wine. His love for wine began with Napa Valley Cabernets\, but after being introduced to the Rhone varietals of Paso Robles\, he was a changed man. He admired the people\, culture and energy of Paso Robles\, and eventually the region became his primary focus in wine collecting. \nBy his mid-twenties\, Stanley had become a wine connoisseur and collector. While traveling\, he would seek the opportunity to speak with winemakers\, picking their brains on the winemaking process; how clone selections\, elevations\, soil types\, trellising systems\, and yields play a roll on a wines identity. The fascination of such complex nuances was intriguing to him. Realizing wine collecting was more than a hobby\, his love and respect for wine inspired him to make his own. \nAfter working in the cellar for Nick Elliott at Nicora Winery in Paso for a year\, Stanley put into practice the skills he garnered from his apprenticeship\, his travels\, as well as what he had learned himself as a connoisseur\, to craft the wines for TOP. In just a few short years\, Stanley has already made an impression on the Paso wine community\, with his 2014 vintage of wines all scoring above 92+ points from Jeb Dunnuck! Not bad for his first release! TOP wines are gaining tremendous popularity with nearly every bottle spoken for by his member list\, and at only 800 cases of his 2016 vintages produced\, enthusiast and collectors alike are taking note of his wines.   \n \nStanley also works closely with wife Elena Martinez. Elena was first introduced to wine while working in hospitality. While living in Oregon\, she developed an understanding and appreciation for the diversity and expressiveness of different wine regions. Stanley and Elena named the winery TOP because the spinning top symbolizes their life together and the goals they wish to achieve. It is a metaphor reminding them to keep their balance. This concept signifies the bumps in the road or challenges each of us encounters trying to achieve our aspirations. This path that is always in motion represents not only Stanley and Elena’s life but also the balance and interpretation they choose for their wines. \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!” \n \nWines\n2017 Axis | Grenache Blanc\n75% Grenache Blanc\, 25% Roussanne – $42 Retail\n2016 Inertia | GSM\n45% Grenache\, 41% Syrah\, 11% Mourvedre\, 3% Roussanne – $62 Retail\n2015 Syrah | Edna Valley | Adelaide District \n100% Syrah  – $57 Retail\n2016 Exert | Syrah\n95% Syrah\, 3% Roussanne\, 2% Tannat – $62 Retail\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other.

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Matthias Pippig of Sanguis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Matthias Pippig of Sanguis Wines!\nKickstarting our 2019 Winemaker Evening series is Matthias Pippig\, owner and winemaker at Sanguis Wines\, Santa Barbara. Sanguis is a premier boutique winery that specializes in an eclectic Rhône and Bordeaux style blends. Pippig changes blends yearly in his wines\, hand sorts each wine and never makes the same wine twice. Many of his wines weigh in at over 15% alcohol\, but they do not present as highly alcoholic. These wines are sourced from some of the best vineyards in the Santa Barbara and Central Coast area.Most recently the 2015 “Bossman” earned Sanguis 97 pts from Jeb Dunnuck!  \nLatin for blood\, Sanguis was founded by the German-born Matthias Pippig. Pippig has previously worked as a wine importer for Marc DeGrazia Selections\, and Estate Wines\, winemaker at Grassini Family Vineyards\, as well as a stint at the famous Le Brea Bakery. A food-industry marketing consultant by training\, Pippig’s operation is quite similar to that of his motorcycle-riding buddy and former La Brea Bakery boss Manfred Krankl\, the celebrated cult winemaker of Sine Qua Non. If you haven’t had the chance to try his wines\, you are in for a serious treat. What many do not know is that Matthias is a skillful chef in his own right. At his own Winemaker Evening\, Matthias will not only be featured as Winemaker\, but also as Chef\, as he is collaborating with ESB to create his ideal food pairings for his wines. \n\nSuperstar winemaker\, Mattias Pippig\, crafts some stunning wines out of Santa Barbara County. – Washington Wine Blog \n\n\nWines for the evening:\n2015 See Through ($50 retail)\n2015 Verve – 95 pts – ($80 retail)\n2015 The Modern – 95 pts – ($80 retail)\n2015 Bossman – 97 pts – ($80 retail) \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!”\nIn 2004\, when Jamie and I decided to start Sanguis\, there was just the two of us\, and a shared vision for making wines that aim to capture nature’s beauty through our sense of aesthetics. Today\, we are fortunate to share this vision with our motley but tight crew working with us in the vineyards and the most beautifully functional converted warehouse in Santa Barbara’s industrial zone and with the many enthusiastic supporters who have joined our club and mailing list since then.  Learn more about Sanguis Wines! \n\n  \nWine of extraordinary character\, complexity\, and balance is a product of place\, time\, and the people who engage in the process of growing and making it\, their discipline and willingness to take risks and improvise. When you play a wrong note\, it is the next note that makes it good or bad.\n—Miles Davis \nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Scott Hawley of Torrin Vineyard
DESCRIPTION:A special evening with Scott Hawley\, winemaker of Torrin & Lagom wines! \nTorrin wines are currently sold via Allocation and Mailing List only! They are not open to the public for tasting as their wines sell out on release to their lists. This is a rare opportunity to drink Torrin wines\, including some library selections. Lagom wines are not on allocation or list limited\, rather a new label offering delightful Burgundy varietals to contrast the Rhones of Torrin. Epicurean Santa Barbara is grateful for the opportunity to host Scott in Santa Barbara to share his beautiful wines\, his winemaking journey and his creative artistic approach to winemaking with our members. \n\nWe are artists\, farmers\, chemists\, parents\, and friends.\n We are grateful. We are small but on the verge of something big. We are believers in sustainability. We are in awe of our children. We are optimistic\, passionate and curious. We are laborers\, visionaries\, and good dinner guests. We are aware we should be doing more. We are dedicated to creating beautiful wines from the ground up. We are up for the challenge. We are Scott and Viquel Hawley and our two boys Reece and Gage. \n We are family and together we are Torrin.\n\n“Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!” \nScott and his wife Viquel founded Torrin together with a family centric philosophy that begins with the nurturing of their two boys\, Gage and Reece\, and carries over to the cultivation of their other children\, the vines in their vineyard. Their deep passion for wine making is self-evident and reflected through their love of family and the their wine. Scott has been creating highly regarded wines from some of Paso Robles most significant vineyards for over 16 years and when it comes to winemaking\, he believes “his role is to simply create an environment throughout the grape growing process where the fruit is given the greatest opportunity to perform to its potential”. \n \nMeaning “of the hills”\, Torrin Vineyard is aptly located in the hills of the Santa Lucias west of Paso Robles in an area commonly referred to as the Templeton Gap. Originally part of the Booker Vineyard\, planted by Eric Jensen and Justin Smith\, Torrin is landlocked between L’Aventure and Booker Vineyards. With ten acres planted on rugged hillsides of high lime calcareous shale and siliceous shale they are located in one of California’s wine growing sweet spots. \nScott and Viquel  have recently ventured from their Rhone Varietal roots to create an exciting companion brand in the wines of “Lagom.” These wines focus on the inherent grace and finesse of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from select cool-climate vineyards in unique pockets of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. \n\nLAGOM: “Just the right amount”… The archetypical Swedish proverb “Lagom ar bast”\, literally “The right amount is best”; also translated as “Enough is as good as a feast.”\n \nLagom is a perfect mantra for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These varietals produce some of the world’s most sought after wines and manage to do so with an uncanny simplicity. They are rarely blended with other varieties\, often expressions from a single site\, and seldom heavy handed in their production yet they are capable of remarkable depth\, complexity and impeccable balance. The finest examples are impressive without being overwhelming\, they embrace the notion that enough is indeed “just the right amount”. \nTwo wine labels means more varietals! \nScott will be pouring two library wines from Torrin and two current releases from Lagom! Guests will enjoy these four highly regarded wines along with wonderfully paired passed appetizers. \nLagom 2015 Chardonnay ($62)\nLagom 2014 Pinot “Bien Nacido Vineyard” ($68)\nTorrin 2013 Banshee – library wine ($80) *tasting only*\nTorrin 2014 Tsundere – library wine ($80)\n \nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west.

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Jacob Toft of Toft Wines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Jacob and Kelly Toft of Toft Wines\, who after receiving over 90-point scores from respected critic Robert Parker\, sold out their vintages in one day!\n \nThis lovely husband and wife team not only craft artisanal small batch wines\, but are kind sweet people who love to share their passion for wine with other \nenthusiasts. Toft Wines are all about the pursuit of flavor that starts with meticulous farming. With access to the premier vineyards spanning the Central Coast\, Toft wines honor the AVAs from which the grapes are cultivated. His small production allows him to focus his attention on fruit source and handcrafting his blends. Jacob has a calling to introduce regions to one another and that journey is fulfilled in his cellar; his focus is blended between the details. \nWhile 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. \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!” \n \nGuests will enjoy 4 highly rated wines (1 white and 3 reds) with Jacob & Kelly and other like-minded club members\, along with wonderfully paired passed appetizers. Toft wines are limited to their allocation membership twice a year. ESB is grateful for the opportunity to share Toft wines with its members through special arrangement with the Tofts. Jacob has been producing small-batch\, full-flavored wines for over 17 years. 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! \n“We handcraft big\, red blends using the best fruit sources along the Central Coast. Rhone\, Bordeaux\, Petite Syrah\, Zinfandel\, and sometimes a white.”\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight!

SUMMARY:Winemaker Evening: Eric Jensen of Booker
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Eric Jensen of Booker Wines\, whose Oublié Paso Robles 2014 was listed among Wine Spectator’s Top 10 Wines in 2017. \nEpicurean Santa Barbara is honored to welcome Eric Jensen to our hometown for this event. He has graciously allocated wine to Epicurean Santa Barbara\, even though bottles are only available to members of Booker’s wine club. Eric’s wines are effectively sold out due to the overwhelming thirst for his wines by his club members. Don’t miss this rare chance to taste and take home a bottle with our special tasting and bottle program… \n “Come for the wine\, stay for the winemaker\, leave with a bottle!” \nGuests will enjoy 4 highly rated 95+ point  wines with Eric Jensen and other like-minded club members\, along with wonderfully paired passed appetizers. (Booker wines retail from $54 – $106+ a bottle.)   \n \nWe will be featuring:\n2016 White (white blend)\n2016 Ripper (100% Grenache)\n2016 Vertigo (52% Syrah\, 30% Grenache\, 18% Mourvedre)\n2016 Fracture (100% Syrah)\nThis evening is a special opportunity to meet\, great\, eat\, and celebrate great wine with one of the world’s “larger than life” characters. With his beginnings as a music event promoter in LA to his move to Paso Robles to grow grapes and make wine\, he now describes himself in only the way he can… “I used to hire yard guys\, now I actually am one!”  \n \nEric and Lisa Jensen purchased 100 acres of the property in 2001 with the intent of growing the best fruit for some of the best wineries in the area. After making wine with Justin Smith (of Saxum) for five years and Stephan Asseo (of L’Aventure Wines) for two years\, the Jensens decided it was time to create their own expression with Booker Vineyard. The 2005 Vintage was Booker Vineyard’s first release with the wines being made by owner Eric Jensen. \n\nFrom Jeb Dunnuck\, of Wine Advocate:\n“While certainly the character of Paso’s winemaking motley crew\, Booker Vineyard’s Eric Jensen is dead serious when it comes to wine. Creating the estate in 2005 (they planted their vineyard in 2001)\, today he farms one of the greatest vineyards in the appellation and his wines consistently rank in the top two or three produced in a vintage. The only drawback here is the wines are made in tiny quantities and are moved almost exclusively through his mailing list.” \n“Created in 2005\, owner/winemaker Eric Jenson has pushed Booker Vineyard into the top 2-3 estates in the region…the wines…are some of the most impressive releases coming out of California. While in the past\, they relied on pure fruit and texture to impress\, today they possess layered\, elegant and complex characters paired with serious depth\, richness and structure.”\nThe Winemaker evening takes place in a very special and unique Santa Barbara home with a view like no other. This modern home\, with its large arched glass walls\, features an unusual panoramic northern view looking across the bay; from Ventura in the east\, along the mountains past the 154 San Marcos pass\, to Gaviota in the west. Truly a sight! On the evening of this event\, there will be another special event courtesy of mother nature: a spectacular moonrise over Ojai and the mountains above Carpentaria\, which will light up the water of the bay\, coinciding with our enjoyment of these fine wines.
