Foxen Chenin Blanc Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard 2023
$39.00Add to cartFoxen is a legend in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded by Dick Doré and Bill Wathen in the late 70s it wasn’t until the late 80’s that they got their license (the 13th in the region which now is home to over 200). They work with some of the best fruit in the region where winemaker David Whitehair seeks to express the fruit cleanly.
This wine (and all the estate fruit) is an anomaly in the region as Foxen has own-rooted, dry farmed grapes on their estate. The fact that they can do this is quite frankly wild. In a place where pretty much everyone irrigates they don’t have to. The quirks of geography can be a funny thing. This chenin is proof that great wines can come from unlikely corners of the world.

Massican Gemina 2022
$52.00Add to cartA wine from Dan Petroski, one of the most venerable producers of “new California” wine who makes wines using the Italian varieties he loves although this one is driven by fleshy napa Chardonnay.

Montinore Pinot Gris 2022
$23.00Add to cartMontinore is a fantastic Oregon estate that goes beyond the biodynamics they helped pioneer in the area. Today they are going as far as working using the tenets of the burgeoning Korean Natural Farming which focuses on microbiota in the soils of the vineyards. There’s a purity to the earthiness that comes through these wines and we love to see a wine with that kind of natural pedigree at this pricepoint.

Presqu’ile Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

St. Supery Sauvignon Blanc Dollarhide Estate Vineyard 2021
$44.00Add to cartSt. Supery is a 100% estate grown, sustainably farmed winery with over 1,600 acres of land (two thirds are left in their natural state to encourage biodiversity). They are water and energy efficient and have built in pest management. With land preservation as a top priority it’s no surprise that their wines taste alive. This sauvignon blanc wine is full of grapefruit, kiwi, and vanilla aromas that dance over lively acidity. It is a hefty wine that maintains some lightness with the acid. We’d call it crisp, rich, and flavorful.
