The Santa Rosa Road in Santa Barbara County

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel. I'm your host Matthew Horky. We are along the Santa Rosa Road in the valleys here in Santa Barbara County. We're at the Sanford Winery and Sanford's famous because of the film Sideways, but also famous because they were the first to plant Pinot Noir here in Santa Barbara County. As you can see, it's just beautiful. This is the reason why wine growing is so fantastic here. You get tons of sun, tons of cool air coming through from the Pacific Ocean at night. It gets really cool. There's usually fog in the morning. It really gives a good environment, especially for Pinot Noir because you get a ton of sun, but a lot of cool air at night to kind of slow the growth of the berries and hold in that acidity, those crisp and fresh flavors. So if you get a chance to come down here, take the drive through Santa Rosa Road. It's a beautiful winding road. I know my father would like it especially too because there's lots of farms, lots of produce farms.
