I don't know the name of the woman with the short bob haircut, that is tall, older, that works at…read moreSweetzer. However, I found her very blatantly rude and unnecessarily condescending. One of the many examples is when I asked her if one of the specific Pinot Noir bottles was made in oak or steel and she said Pinot Noir is never made in steel she said "of course it's made in oak." She actually shook her head no like a scolding adult and said "never ever in steel." "Not Pinot Noir never." And "no, no no" over and over again as if she wanted people to hear how smart she was while degrading my statement. She didn't stop with his incessant and dramatic no until I looked at her questioning her own knowledge of her own industry. She finally stopped with her bobble head when she could tell I thought she was full of $hit. She finally mustered out a pathetic: "At least I don't think so." Who the heck on earth is so condescending and rude to someone about a subject they're not sure on....only crappy, unhappy people. I've been to Napa approximately 30+ times and I've been to many wineries, including a large number of luxury wineries, and her story wasn't checking out. It's such negative and draining energy to be around someone that has to try to act like they're better than someone else, especially when they're wrong and insecure about their own knowledge. She was talking down because she's not a genuinely nice person AND to overcompensate for her lack of knowledge. It was also hilarious because there is a winery in Santa Barbara, in her own backyard, that makes a Pinot Noir in steel. She doesn't even know her own local competition, nonetheless non-local competition. There are other wineries that make Pinot Noir in steel as well. And many wineries ferment Pinot Noir in steel. People who are unnecessarily, rude and uneducated about their own product like her really have no place representing wineries. Nonetheless working at one. That is bad representation if she has any type of partnership or ownership in that winery. I actually had time to visit Sweetzer for an upcoming trip, however, 100% due to her service it's a no. If I had a positive experience, I would have.

Look to the back side of…read moreFiddlehead to find an outdoor patio with tables physically distanced and wearing masks until reaching your table routine. What is so impressive and amazing is owner Katy Joseph who is so vibrant and welcoming at an age most of us would just be happy chilling out. For her, wine and wine making must be her fountain of youth. Still rather rare to find a woman as the head of a winery. Congratulations on being one of the earlier female pioneers in the oenological world. Every week there is a different set of about 6 2oz wines to sample at $17: 1) Pink Fiddle Pinot Noir Rosé 2017 2) Bebble Reserve Grüner Veltliner 2017 3) Bebble Reserve Grüner Veltliner 2016 4) Bebble Reserve Grüner Veltliner 2015 5) Missing 7 Pinot Noir 2013/2014 6) 728 Pinot Noir 2014 Grüner Veltliner (grew nair felt lee nair) vertical tasting was a nice touch in showing the three different vintage years of the same grape grown in the same vineyard. Grüner Veltliner's homeland is Austria which is generally colder and wetter than Santa Barbara County so the grapes here reflect more warm sunlight which seem to make it taste more strong, higher alcohol, heavier bodied, sweeter than what I had tasted in the old country. Of the 6 samplings I liked 728 Pinot Noir best with its bright ruby glow, sprightliness, light black fruity scent and flavours,  mellow, rounded mouthfeel. Goes well with pork or salmon or as a sipping wine. The extra resting for 6 years seems to have rounded the corners to this amiable wine. We spent over an hour lounging as we sampled, critiqued, analyzed, compared and contrasted our samplings. Good luck to our other friendly, informative, low key gentleman whose family owned a local winery.  It was his 3rd day at Fiddlehead. Congratulations and hope to see you next time.
