As soon as I read the name of this winery I was brought back to the sweet memory of my dear friend…read moreVeronica who had the same last name as the owner of this tasting room. Annie greeted us and we had such an amazing time chatting and trying their wonderful wines. We hit it off and I loved the relaxed atmosphere at this winery. I loved the 2016 Pinot Blanc Bien Nacido Vineyard and the 2013 Syrah White Hewok Vineyard. Now the 2013 Syrah was pure magic. When this wine was put in a tall glass it tasted and smelled completely differently than when it was put in a wider and shorter glass. We have tried so many different wines but never like one as this. We loved learning about the winemaker. Annie was so friendly and knew so much about the different wines they offered here. I loved how beautiful it was inside the winery.

Since we had a whole day, we decided to venture out and let me tell you, I am so glad we did! From the second we walked in the door Jeniece treated us like one of her regulars! So friendly and warm! Then we got to taste the wines. Every one of them top notch. You can taste the love and care that is put into each bottle. The wine maker also makes olive oils and let me just say, you may have had infused olive oils in the past, but these blow any other interations out of the water! Garlic, Jalepeno,Lemon, Orange and the most Amazing? Tandoori Masala! OMG!!! We mentioned we brought some snacks, but Jeniece makes us a Cheese and Salami plate!!! What??? I recommend you make this tasting room your destination next time you are heading to or through Lompoc! Thank you Jeniece for setting the tone for our day! First and best stop of the day.

Brian and Kimberly made us feel like royalty with six full tastings and a beautiful charcuterie tray. Everything paired well beautifully - the Chardonnay and Pinot Grigos were excellent. We bought six full bottles to take on our getaway to Cambria. The location in Lompoc is amazing with a huge warehouse, full kitchen, and comfortable tasting room. It is in an industrial park, but it is in a non-crowded area with lots of parking which is a huge plus. Yes, it is an hour out of the way from the 101, but it is a beautiful drive both ways and so worth the stop! Full disclosure - Brian and I attended junior and senior high together. But, honestly, he makes fabulous wine and has a state-of-the-art facility. Brian and Kimberly provide top-notch customer service and hospitality. I would recommend all of my friends stop for a fantastic wine-tasting experience. They have spoiled us for any other wine tasting!

Then, I mean, oh its flavors, they're just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and... ancient on the planet." --Miles, "Sideways" First, I must admit I don't really like Sideways. Miles is a boring drip and he doesn't really know as much as he thinks he does about wine. But I do love Pinot, and Loring makes two of my favorites from the Clos Pepe vineyard and from Garys'. Luckily, on a recent visit to their new location in Buellton, they had both the 2016 versions of these wines in half bottles, full bottle for Clos Pepe. Ive been an acquaintance of Brian's for 20+ years as he first sold his wines to a wine group I was part of back in the late 90's, early 2000's. Now I see him occasionally at a charity event I've gone to previously. I admire how he pursued his dream and became a Santa Barbara rock star. They do more than just Pinot, and this visit is also more than just about wine with lovely locally baked shortbread cookies to pair. You wouldn't think it, but it's a great choice. The new location is next to Industrial Eats restaurant and makes for a great combo visit of wine and food and cookies. I prefer the two pinots above, you might find other pinots, or the blends or the whites more to your liking. All at fabulous price points too. Highly recommended :-)
