What an amazing concept. These passionate co-owners represent smaller vineyards that don’t have their own tasting rooms. I hated Pinot Noir until I visited this wonderful oasis for a tasting. The owner knows his wines.
Absolutely stellar representation of more than one winery from the region. Loved it. Also the staff was extremely knowledgeable about wine and the region. Highly recommend.
One of the best places to find hard-to-find wine of the famous Santa Rita Hills appellation. its the place that carries and allows you to taste Sea Smoke, Paul Lato, Gypsy Canyon, Westerly... among other wines. Antonio and Jenny the proprietors are some of the most knowledgeable people in the business.
As you walk in, you will be greeted by Antonio Moretti, usually found behind the counter wearing blue jeans and pouring wine with his wife Jenny. Antonio pours wines for many of the small wineries that many have not heard of as well as wines of Clos Pepe and Sea Smoke.
Antonio is well respected and very knowledgable. He has his own label, Moretti Wine Co., which has been very pleasing and easy drinking. He has a great selection of both reds and whites. Many are varietals that one rarely finds outside of Italy. Scratch Kitchen had his Merlot as the only merlot they served.
Antonio has great pairings of cheese and cold cuts in his tasting room. Come sit on their patio and enjoy either a tasting, flight, or abottle amongst friends. The hard part of course, is leaving!
This tasting room has some superb boutique wines that you might not otherwise encounter. Well worth stopping in when you are in the greater Santa Rita Hills area.
