Rita Hills Dear (Contact First Name), [Wine & Fire!]The signs of summer are emerging in the Sta. Rita Hills, as the lush foliage of our vineyards energizes the tiny grape clusters that are developing on our vines. The Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance is energized, too, as we prepare for our upcoming Wine and Fire event, August 17th through 19th . Please join Alliance members for a full weekend of wine and food themed events in the coolest AVA in Santa Barbara County! Friday evening, our winemakers welcome you with receptions at either end of our Valley to kick off the weekend. Avant Tapas and Wine Bar in Buellton and D'Vine Wine Bar in Lompoc are hosting the inaugural weekend events, with members offering special large format and library wine tastings. Saturday morning's seminar at The Barn at Fiddlestix Vineyard will focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; with two separate panels assessing the characteristics of our star varieties and vineyards. Josh Raynolds, wine reviewer for Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, returns to Wine and Fire to moderate our panels as they discuss their diverse styles and why they think Sta. Rita Hill's wines are so distinctive. Our Chardonnay panel members include Bryan Babcock of Babcock Winery, Steve Fennell, winemaker for Sanford Winery, Wes Hagen of Clos Pepe Estates, Nikki Nelson, partner in Liquid Farm, and Leslie Mead-Renaud, winemaker for Foley Estates. Featured on our Pinot Noir panel are Ken Brown of Ken Brown Wines, Peter Cargasacchi of Cargasacchi Wines, Deborah Hall, owner of Gypsy Canyon Winery and Vineyard, Frank Ostini of Hartley Ostini Wines and Adam Lee of Siduri. Our Grand Tasting commences Saturday evening at the historic La Purisima Mission. Over 25 SRHWA member wineries, joined by our neighborhood restaurants, will gather under the oaks to pair world class Sta. Rita Hills wines with grilled local specialties. Chef Alvin Cabral, Avant Tapas and Wine, Babe Farms Produce, D 'Vine Wine Bar, Floriano's Meat Market , Hitching Post II and Rooney's Irish Pub, to name a few, will offer a diverse menu and generous portions of their signature dishes.
