A new chapter for Stephen Ross W**e Cellars.

As of September 18, Stephen Ross W**e Cellars is no longer at the EDNA location.

Our focus remains the same: making w**es we love, working with the vineyards and crews who inspire us, and continuing to be part of the SLO Coast w**e community.

We’re currently working towards finding the right new home for our tasting room. In the meantime, our w**es are available through our online shop and w**e club, and we’ll keep you posted as the next chapter takes shape.

Thank you for being part of the Stephen Ross family. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead.

Every w**emaker has a story. Steve’s starts long before the first vintage of Stephen Ross W**e Cellars.

From a Minnesota kid with a curiosity for w**e, to a UC Davis grad, and then onto w**emaking experiences around the world and ultimately the SLO Coast, each chapter has helped shape the w**emaker he is today.

Here’s a look back at the journey so far.

There’s a reason Chardonnay and Pinot Noir feel right at home in Edna Valley.

The valley’s cool coastal climate, shaped by its proximity to the Pacific, creates a long growing season that allows these varieties to ripen slowly while holding onto the acidity and freshness they’re known for.

Two of our Edna Valley favorites, grown in a place that lets them shine 🍷

🍇 From sugar to Sauvignon Blanc

Before w**e becomes w**e, it starts as grape juice, and that juice contains naturally occurring sugars. One of the ways we measure those sugars is through Brix, a measurement that tells us the concentration of sugar in the grape juice.

Why does that matter? As yeast ferments the juice, it consumes those sugars and converts them into alcohol. So, the Brix level helps our w**emaking team determine when the grapes have reached the right level of ripeness and gives us an idea of the potential alcohol in the finished w**e.

Of course, there’s a lot more to it than just a number. Different grape varieties ripen at different rates, and factors like temperature, weather, and growing conditions can all influence how quickly grapes accumulate sugar.

And while we’re measuring sugar in the juice, that doesn’t mean our finished w**es contain residual sugar. In our Sauvignon Blanc, the yeast ferments the available sugars, leaving us with a dry w**e rather than a sweet one.

So this little Brix test is one piece of the bigger picture, helping us decide when to pick and how to guide the grapes from vineyard to bottle 🍷
