Featured videos.


Gary Burke offers a fascinating look at how he produces his Costa de Oro and Duo wines. Find out more about the Larner and Faith vineyards as well as his methods of making grenache and how he has developed a way of harvesting his pinot noir to give a fuller understanding of terroir.


Eric Mohseni tells us how he became a winemaker and discusses his love of sauvignon blanc.

As usual QuickTime is the format for watching the vids, make sure it is loaded on your computer, you don't know what you are missing.

The first annual Ballard Canyon Connection tour is being organised by Tim Grubb from Departure Wines. For more info on this event contact Tim at tim@departurewines.com.
Ballard Canyon is home to some of the finest fruit, and remarkable wines found here in Santa Ynez. The diversity is equally surprising, from the biodynamics at Beckmen's Purisima Mountain Vineyard to the unique Larner clone syrah. This is one of those rare events you probably won't want to miss. Especially when you consider the current line-up: Jeff Newton from Coastal Vineyard Care, Joey Tensley, Jim Knight from Holus Bolus to name a few. Space is limited so get your name on the list soon.
