About the event
For nearly three decades, Wes Hagen has studied, grown, produced and represented some of Santa Barbara County's most esteemed vineyards. Well-known for his time at Clos Pepe and J. Wilkes, along the way he fell in love with producers and sites he neither farmed nor sourced, but whose merit was earned by what was evidenced in the glass. So when Wes introduced us to Native9 and Rancho Vinedo Wines, we knew we couldn't pass up the opportunity to bring these wines to you in our tasting room.
Sharing a glass with Wes isn't just a tasting experience but a masterclass in viticulture, grape genetics, local history and most importantly, how joyful winemaking is. Come taste and learn with Wes as he pours both library and newer releases of Native9 and Rancho Vinedo Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, all hailing from land owned by the Ontiveros family for 9 generations.
Friday, September 26 at 5:00 pm.
