Winemaking Vineyards Acclaim Journal:
The Magic of Our Vineyards
Welcome to a journey through the heart of our winemaking passion! At the core of our craft is a deep belief that every exceptional wine starts in the vineyard. We, as winemakers, are the guardians of this connection between soil, climate, and landscape—what the French call ‘terroir.’
Our adventure began in the enchanting Santa Ynez Valley. The unique transverse mountain ranges, refreshing coastal climate, and ancient seabed soils drew us. This region is one-of-a-kind in California, where the coastal mountains stretch from west to east, guiding cool, misty winds from the Pacific Ocean through the valley. These daily breezes are the secret behind our ideal growing conditions, especially for our beloved Rhone varieties. With one of the longest growing seasons in the world, from mid-February to mid-November, our grapes develop intense, concentrated flavors, resulting in rich, structured wines that are a delight to savor.
Our vineyards span 150 acres across three sites and three appellations. The Curtis Vineyard, home to our Estate Winery, boasts 100 acres of meticulously tended vines, including the legendary Jurassic Park section, with its robust Chenin Blanc. We’re continuously refining our vineyards, and our Estate Syrah, along with our special Grenache, Mourvèdre, and white blends, showcases the fruits of our labor.
Beyond our Estate, we also source exquisite fruit from top vineyards in the Central Coast, including the newly recognized Los Alamos Valley AVA. The steep, sandy slopes of Watch Hill Vineyard yield Syrah with remarkable depth and natural acidity. We’re always exploring new vineyards in search of the next great Syrah!
Shining Star – Andrew Murray
“Andrew Murray is one of the shining star vineyards in the Santa Barbara ferment. Extremely low yields…and a dedication to hillside vineyards…this estate is top echelon of the Rhone hierarchy. Production is small…these wines are well-worth seeking out.”
To visit the winery at Andrew Murray is to experience a narrative of history, legacy, and passion. We welcome you to our estate for an intimate seated tasting experience on our beautiful terrace overlooking our estate vines or within our state-of-the-art winery on Foxen Canyon Rd. Soak in the surroundings, delve into the terroir, and explore some of the finest and most exclusive Rhone driven varietals California has to offer.

Our wines are artfully crafted to showcase the unique growing conditions of the Santa Ynez Valley and Sta. Rita Hills.

Greek heritage
Demetria Estate grew out of the desire of owners John and Sandra Zahoudanis to continue a family legacy connecting his Greek heritage with their family’s future. John grew up on a modest family farm at the base of Mount Olympus in Greece. The unparalleled beauty and Mediterranean feel of the Demetria Estate reminded John of his homeland and became the perfect location to carry on the family tradition of farming and careful stewardship of the land.

Ryan Carr, the owner, winemaker, and grower for Carr Vineyards & Winery, discovered his passion for viticulture after moving to Santa Ynez Valley, California. Originally from Southern California, Ryan had an interest in farming but pursued an Art degree from the University of Arizona. After tasting local wines in Santa Ynez, he decided to delve into viticulture. He started with vineyard management and later working at Central Coast Wine Services in 1998.
In 1999, Ryan produced his first vintage, a Cabernet Sauvignon, in his garage from grapes he helped grow, yielding just 10 cases. Encouraged by the positive feedback, he partnered with Andy Kahn to start a vineyard development company and became the assistant winemaker for Kahn Winery. This collaboration allowed Ryan to create his first commercial vintage.
Santa Barbara County
By 2004, Carr Winery was producing over 1,000 cases and gaining national recognition. By 2006, Ryan had built three wineries and planted over 200 acres of grapes in Santa Barbara County. In 2007, he opened Carr Winery in downtown Santa Barbara, one of only four full production wineries and tasting rooms in the area. Since then, Carr Winery has received numerous accolades and awards, cementing its reputation for producing some of Santa Barbara County’s finest wines.

Founded by the dynamic duo, Norman and Kathleen Williams. Brick Barn Winery is the result of their shared dream to craft something extraordinary. It all began in 2012 when they planted the estate vineyard, leading to our very first vintage in 2015. By 2018, we opened the doors to our tasting room, inviting wine lovers to experience our unique creations firsthand.
But the story of Brick Barn goes back even further. It all started in 1968 when Norman acquired 40 acres of this beautiful land. Over the years, the property thrived not just as a hub of organic farming and ranching but also as a renowned Arabian horse farm, earning its place among the valley’s finest.
Today, Brick Barn Wine Estate shines as a symbol of excellence, known for our unwavering commitment to producing wines that truly reflect the essence of our terroir. Every bottle tells a story of heritage, innovation, and the timeless pursuit of perfection.
Estate Vineyards
Nestled in the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley, just north of the Santa Ynez River and near Buellton, lies our 35-acre Brick Barn estate vineyard—a hidden gem in a beautiful wine-growing region. As the westernmost vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley AVA, Brick Barn is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of the valley’s warmth and the cool Sta. Rita Hills AVA.
Located just 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean, our vineyard enjoys the perfect balance of cool morning fog, refreshing evening breezes, and sunny afternoons. This combination ensures that our grapes ripen gradually, preserving their natural acidity and developing rich, complex flavors. It’s this blend of sunlight and fog that gives Brick Barn’s fruit its remarkable depth and character.
Our Philosophy
“Family and wine have always been at the heart of who I am.”
– Adrian Bolshoi, Winemaker
At Brick Barn Wine Estate, our winemaking philosophy is deeply rooted in our estate vineyard’s unique character. We believe in letting the vineyard speak for itself, using non-invasive farming practices that allow our grapes to express their true essence. Our commitment to minimal intervention ensures that every wine we produce reflects the distinct personality of our terroir.
Under the expert guidance of Winemaker Adrian Bolshoi, we utilize a variety of fermentation and maturation vessels, including oak barrels, stainless steel, and concrete, to bring out the best in each wine. Our goal is to honor the vineyard’s intentions and unlock its full potential. We are creating wines that are a true expression of the land we love.
Get ready to dive into the bold, high-octane world of the Mendenhall Museum, located in the rugged beauty of Buellton, California, located in the iconic Santa Ynez Valley. Housing one of the West Coast’s most powerful collections of petroliana, this museum, packed with gasoline pumps, globes, and vintage gas, oil, and road signs tells the story of America’s love affair with the road. You’ll also find race cars, adrenaline-pumping racing memorabilia, license plates, and a treasure trove of gas and oil relics alongside other bold antiques.
A Legacy of Collecting
It all started more than 50 years ago with Jack Mendenhall, a man who didn’t just run a service station—he lived and breathed the automotive world. Today, his son Mark and daughter-in-law Vickie keep the engine roaring, continuing to grow this mighty collection.
Jack Mendenhall: The Original American Picker
Jack Mendenhall wasn’t just any collector. In the fifties, he owned and operated a Richfield Service Station, cutting deals with AAA and hitting the open road after selling the station. While traveling the U.S., Jack wasn’t just selling signs—he was building a legacy, one vintage piece at a time.
The Museum Grounds
The museum stands on the very ground where Jack ran his wrecking yard, displaying a lifetime of finds. Mark and Vickie, no strangers to the allure of classic automobiles, spent 25 years running their own Chevron Station, eventually catching the collecting fever themselves.
Speed, Racing, and Hall of Fame Glory
Jack and Mark made their mark on Land Speed Racing. Jack became a Lifetime Member of the exclusive 200 MPH Club, while Mark hit an incredible 210.114 mph. This passion fueled the Mendenhall’s role as the heart of racing history.
