  • Sea Smoke Selected Press and Accolades[1]
    Sea Smoke Selected Press and Accolades Wine Review Online May 22, 2013 Ed McCarthy “Wines Well Worth Drinking” “I was impressed with wines from the following California wineries that I have tasted over the past few months: Sea Smoke Vineyard (Santa Rita Hills, Santa Barbara County) – I knew Sea Smoke’s Pinot Noirs were good, but I had no idea about its other wines. Sea Smoke’s 2008 Sea Spray Sparkling Wine is outstanding, definitely one of California’s premium sparkling bruts; it’s 100 percent Pinot Noir, very aromatic and full-bodied. Almost as good is its characterful 2010 Chardonnay. The well-balanced 2010 Sea Smoke ‘Southing’ was my favorite of the winery’s Pinot Noirs.” Wine Spectator James Laube April 30, 2013 2010 Southing Pinot Noir “Firmly tannic, with a rich, ripe core of earth-laced wild berry and raspberry flavors, this gains depth and complexity on the long, detailed finish, reverberating with flavors. Drink now through 2021. 5,000 cases made.” 92 Points (Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style.) 2010 Ten Pinot Noir “A reined-in style, this captures the delicate mix of blueberry, wild berry, rose petal, subtle mineral and earth touches, supported by vibrant acidity and graceful tannins. Blueberry notes echo on the finish. Drink now through 2021. 2,500 cases made.” 91 Points (Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style.) 1 360 West Magazine March 2013 Anthony Head “Savor a sip of Santa Barbara” “If you’ve never traveled to Santa Barbara, don’t bother.

  • A Love Letter to Los Olivos by Sonja Magdevski
    A Love Letter to Los Olivos by Sonja Magdevski PHOTOGRAPHY BY FRAN COLLIN The view from the top of the vineyard at Buttonwood Winery and Farm. 40 | EDIBLE SANTA BARBARA SPRING 2018 Karen Steinwachs, of Buttonwood Winery and Farm, walks through the vineyard. t is not peach season when I visit with Karen Steinwachs of Buttonwood Winery and Farm. I It is early Santa Barbara winter, the kind of day where the light is so beautiful it makes you cry. The grapevines are dormant, still holding onto the last of their autumnal foliage on this January day. Surprisingly, this is my first visit to tour the vineyards. For years now I have been hearing from devoted fans,“…but have you had their peaches?” No, I answer, only the wines. This inevitably leads them to gush even more. “Yes, of course, but you must taste those peaches.” As Steinwachs and I walk through the vineyards uphill along the pond toward the plateau above, a stunning 360-degree view of the entire Santa Ynez Valley comes into perspective. “We grow peonies, too,” Steinwachs laughs. Peonies, the coveted darling of flower lovers for their luxurious blossom of petals and intoxicating fragrance, are known for growing primarily in cold-hardy Midwest and Eastern states. Buttonwood is the only farm in the area that cultivates them and likely the only farm that also makes pomegranate molasses from their own pomegranate trees, a nod to the owner’s familial heritage. EdibleSantaBarbara.com SPRING 2018 | 41 With astute guidance, Buttonwood has managed to create dramatic view that surrounds her.

[email protected] Buellton, CA 93427 415.806.4243 Santa Ynez Valley AVA 800.706.6729 OUR STORY Santa Barbara County. Mosby Winery & Vineyard. Pinot Noir, right? That’s how one’s thought processes might work, but one would be incorrect to put Mosby and Pinot Noir together in the same sentence. For it is with Italian varietals that Bill Mosby has cast his lot, not with the Burgundian grape for which Santa Barbara County has become famous. There are complex reasons why Bill Mosby – a complex man – concluded that Pinot Noir wouldn’t do well on his parcel, just west of Buellton, and that Italian varietals such as Cortese and Dolcetto, Sagrantino, and maybe even Nebbiolo would thrive in De la Questa Canyon. Just listen to what Jeri Mosby, Bill’s wife of 59 years, succinctly says about her husband’s short- lived Pinot Noir quest: “He was not able to grow Pinot Noir on that ground. He wanted to do a certain thing with Pinot, and he couldn’t get there.” Which Bill Mosby affirms: “I wanted to make Burgundian Pinot Noir. I tried for five years, using different clones, and it didn’t work. “Pinot from Burgundy has a little barnyard character, it’s silky, soft, ethereal. It’s seductive. Mine didn’t have that. I wasn’t getting the right extraction. I gave up. It just didn’t produce here. It was the wrong grape to grow. “Pinot Noir wouldn’t grow here.

    2017 Wine Awards ©2017 by The Orange County Wine Society ocws.org 714.708.1636 Page 1 of 173 Purpose This booklet lists the winners of the 41st Annual OC Fair & Event Center Commercial Wine Competition. The judging took place under rigidly controlled conditions on June 3rd & June 4th, 2017, at the Hilton Hotel, Costa Mesa, California. 2,457 different wines were judged and 1,726 were awarded medals. Scope The competition includes only wines from California grown grapes including still wines, fortified wines, infused wines, and sparkling wines. This year 80 judges tasted 104 varieties and styles in 405 categories classified by price and residual sugar level. The wine samples for judging are submitted by wineries. Wines arrive at the OC Fair & Event Center grounds where they are transferred to an air-conditioned building for unpacking and cataloging. There are no entry fees; however, wineries submit 6 bottles of each wine into the competition. These wines are divided into A, B, C, D, E and F bottles. All entries are verified, comparing the entry form to computer listing to the actual bottle placed in a specific box. The A bottles are bagged and labeled by code, varietal, bottle, price code and sugar level. During the competition, the A and B bottles are moved to the competition site. Just prior to judging all A bottles are verified to ensure they are in the proper serving order. B bottles are used only if a defective A bottle is found by the judges. The judging is performed by professionals; each judge is either a winemaker or winery principal.
