“You can touch me with your fresh aura
‘Cause your energy be phenomena“
– 311, Strong All Along
A quick update to let you know that another 2025 tasting report in which I had a hand in creating is now available on Cristaldi & Co., this time focusing on the under-served California wine region of Santa Barbara County.
10+ wineries and 150+ wines are deatured therein! To see the entire thing (including all of the wine review details), you’ll need to subscribe (and of course I am going to tell you that it’s well worth doing so!).
Titled Santa Barbara County: A Wine ‘Phenomenon’, there are some very interesting surprises in the 2025 SBC report (which I will not spoil here), as well as some tactical and practicasl takeaways for industry types and consumers alike.
Cheers!
