This spot is tucked away in the cutest little artsy nook. We were in need of a last-minute bottle of wine for our host on Thanksgiving. So happy we found this spot. Loved the exclusivity of this vineyard and couldn't have been happier with the choice. I was guided to a Cab from the gentlemen behind the bar. Excellent recommendation! The wine was a hit.Next time we are in Santa Barbara we will make it a point to stop here and enjoy what they have to offer. The ambiance is bright and open. Highly recommend!

The wines from the project valley and Kunin are fantastic. The quality was great. Most importantly, the winemakers are willing to experiment and inform everyone about the winemaking knowledge. You can learn a lot by tasting their wine. You can also find some rare grape varieties at the project valley. Highly recommend for a visit.

Great wine tasting selections

Best wine we had on our trip. Left with two bottles.

Fun and knowledgeable sommelier. The setting is basic, although there is a beautiful chalk mural. The wine is interesting, some coming from Kunin, and some from a rotating selection from Santa Barbara's 5 Viticultural Areas.

Graham is da man! great experience! so many great wines!

Staff guy: sorry we’re completely fullMe:oh, ok. Do you know when you might have some availability?Staff guy: I honestly don’t know when it will start easing up. ::abruptly walks away::Ok, I get it, you’re busy. But that was an unnecessary and completely unprofessional way to greet a customer.

This was such an informative, fantastic jumping off point to enter SB county. I wish I caught our server's name because he was a wealth of regional knowledge. The red flight we tasted was a solid sampling of all the different regional AVAs in SB. Two lovely Syrahs, a surprisingly robust Zinfandel & a Petite Verdot all stood out. We.even got some touring advice for the week ahead. Great visit!

Good wine. They do well trying to get the most out of each AVA.

We did a quick stop here in June, as they were closing. Graham was working, he was very welcoming even at closing time. He poured us Mourvedre, amazing wine. Graham took his time telling us about SB, the wine, and good places to eat around town. So needless to say the service is amazing, and wine that matches. We would love to come back and try other wines and spend more time here.
