(1372)

Wines that bring people together. Located in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s Santa Maria Valley, Presqu’ile (pronounced press-KEEL) is a small, family-run winery dedicated to making exceptional cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Designed and planted to create a diverse tapestry of vineyard blocks, the sustainably certified, 73-acre Presqu’ile Vineyard features an array of

clones, exposures and elevations. Made using this estate fruit, and grapes from a
handful of the finest vineyards in the valley, Presqu’ile’s wines capture the essence of their vineyards and vintage, and have earned acclaim for their elegance and balance. Situated high atop a hill, with ocean and vineyard views, the stunning Presqu’ile Winery offers one of the most memorable wine tasting
experiences on California’s Central Coast. To learn more, please visit www.presquilewine.com.

Our whole thing is cooking with the seasons, and right now that means onions. Estate Chef Julie Simon has an embarrassment of riches from our estate garden this week, namely Walla Wallas from about as far as someone with a really good arm could toss a baseball. This weekend, while supplies last, that means an incredible onion dip: crème fraîche, aforementioned Presqu'ile onions, fresh herbs, and the grilled pita you all know and love (and always ask for more of)

Also on the table; a calamari al ajillo. So this is the one that we're pairing with maybe a bottle of bubbles or Sauvignon Blanc. The calamari is lightly sautéed in olive oil, seasoned with smoked paprika, and served with a saffron aioli and pan con tomate. Hope you're not hungry while reading this.

And for a little something sweet, we're offering a butterscotch budino. Estate Chef Julie Simon LOVES making desserts and while dessert and wine can be sort of a polarizing topic, we're not stopping her. Caramel, sea salt, hazelnut praline, & whipped cream.

Reservations recommended, an appetite required.

We've been sharing a bit about our commitment to the arts in partnership with Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND). But what does all of this MEAN??

For one, we have some really cool art on display in a previously unused space on the property. It looks super spiffy.

"Site specific" in this case means Cole Sternberg, the artist, drew inspiration from our property and our craft as storytellers within the bottle, and created these pieces in response to that. You'll see from the process photos: the canvases were laid on the soil above where the art now hangs, painted with giant rollers. From there, the work was exposed to the elements: 15 hours in the cool coastal waters of the Pacific and Lake Cachuma, then high above Block 5 in our estate vineyard, dancing in the wind on a flagpole erected just for this project. The result is an incredible exhibition, rooted in the very land we have the honor of farming.
