the wine The
list you are about to delve into was constructed with a California Wine
Country experience in mind.
Balance has been sought between well-known and obscure, old
standby and new favorite— but with an additional twist:
the list is comprised exclusively of the finest wine
selections from Santa Barbara County.
This incredibly diverse region stretches from the Santa Ynez
Valley, just north of the city of Santa Barbara to the Santa Maria
Valley, at the southern boundary of San Luis Obispo County. As
a wine lover I appreciate wines from all over the world.
That stated, I believe there is much more to be said for a dining
experience that is truly regional than one that isn’t.
If you’re like me, you would much prefer a bottle of Provencal
Rosé in the South of France with bouillabaisse than a pink wine from
California.
Mushroom Risotto in Sienna?
Chianti, of course!
Rack of Lamb in Bordeaux?
Not a Napa Cabernet, if you’re traveling with me! More
to the point, it seems appropriate that there be a restaurant dedicated
to the finest wines produced in our ‘own back yard’ to go with our
unbridled passion for local ingredients.
I believe that Santa Barbara County is producing some of the
finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah in the world.
I also frequently see guests surprised by the quality, variety
and approachability of locally produced Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Viognier,
Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet. On
the last page you will find forty or so Santa Barbara wines that we
feature by the glass.
Please feel free to ask your server’s recommendation on how
they match up with your dinner selections. (And if you are unable
to restrain yourself you can ask the server for a ‘notable
outsiders’ list!) In
the end, I believe a list that does justice to great Bordeaux, fine
Burgundy, intriguing Alsatians, alluring Italians, rough-and-tumble
Aussies, great, big Napa Cabernet and all the others would have to be
ten times the size of this list to be ‘proper.’
And while this list is nowhere near exhaustive it is my intention
to grow it into one that represents the best of Santa Barbara County, grown right here— like our food.
I truly hope you enjoy a memorable wine experience tonight!

beer & sparkling wine Many Belgian beers undergo a secondary fermentation in bottle, aging & gaining complexity. ‘Trappist’ is an official designation, indicating the beer was made in a monastery by monks. ‘Abbey’ ale is a designation indicating the brewery maintains a tie to an ‘official’ abbey, contributes financially to the abbey and, in some cases, utilizes abbey recipes. The beer glass is key, too, as brewers select specific shapes for head, nose and spot it hits the palate! I’m an obvious fan of the Belgian craft and hope you enjoy some of my favorites.
