In 2018 we started Rockets Red Wines to share amazing wines and highlight our time in the military while giving back to the veteran and local community.

Our winemaking style involves minimal intervention and just guiding the grapes on their path to wine. We experiment with native fermentation, letting nature work as intended.

Seagrape Wine Company

Seagrape Cellars

The Sta. Rita Hills appellation is in Santa Barbara County, California. A cool-climate winegrape-growing region defined by two valleys on either side of the actual Santa Rita Hills and makes it a great place for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is that the Sta. Rita Hills runs east-west to the Pacific Ocean.

As the marine fog rolls in from the nearby Pacific Ocean through the Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Ynez Valley winegrowing regions, we’re reminded of the ocean and the vineyards and wine – Seagrape, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills!

Story of Soil Winery

As a small winery, Story of Soil, we can put more time, attention, and care into our wines (than the larger wineries can afford to, really). To make wines of the highest quality, we select vineyards that are farmed with the greatest level of care.

Single Vineyard Focus

We focus on single varietal and single vineyard. Single vineyard allows us to focus on “the place” the grapes are farmed and single varietal will show how each varietal is affected by that place (i.e. soil and microclimate).

Old World Influences – Storm Wines

In the hills of Santa Barbara County, focussing on old world influences and new world techniques. The Mediterranean climate, diverse soils, and exciting new opportunities in this growing Central Coast wine region have combined to drive Ernst’s passion for producing his wine. You’re invited to experience the unique personality of both vintage and site in Storm Wines.

Focus Classical Style

Storm is focused on making classically styled wines in their winery from proven vineyards in the Santa Barbara wine region; and wines with personality of vintage and site, where elegance is favored. His brother, Hannes, launched Storm Wines-South Africa in 2012. His focus is Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

Santa Barbara County has diverse soils and microclimates within the county – near Solvang and Los Alamos – make it a region with endless possibilities for cool climate wines.

Lions Peak

A family-owned and operated winery, producing distinctive, premium wines dating back to 1994, old vine Cabernet Sauvignon.  We use natural and sustainable winemaking practices that support health- and environmental-conscious consumers and work to preserve the land for future generations.

Best of Class

Beginning in the early 1990s, producing highly acclaimed, ultra-premium wines has been Jennifer’s passion since her first commercially produced wines won “Best of Class” at the LA County Fair. Since then, she has won many other gold and best-of-class wines.

Jennifer’s mantra is: Lions Peak wines should be joyfully shared with family and friends.  We invite you to taste our diverse portfolio of unique, ultra-premium wines, enjoy their “top-shelf” quality for yourself, and become an active member of our lively community of Lions Peak wine enthusiasts.

Vineyard

In 1983, we started planting wine grapes and now have 33,000 vines. This is a small amount in the world of wine, but it is huge to us. They grow perfectly in our warm, eastern Santa Ynez Valley location.

Buttonwood’s varietal mix of Sauvignon Blancs, Grenache Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Grenache and Syrah reflects the preferences of our founders for Bordeaux and Rhône style wines.
