Rockets Red Wine

Our wines

Hand made and limited production wines

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!

Welcome to casual glamour. 

There is a time in a woman’s life when she turns to comfort. She is confident, successful, and sophisticated. She is an urbanista, but won’t suffer a dress that won’t let her sit, or pants too painful to put on, or fitted outfits that look good but never feel good.

athglamour® is for her.

athglamour® is a new movement in fashion by designer Mary Beth Larkin that is redefining comfort and style with everyday casual glamour.

By weaving in the comfort of athleisure to the tailored cuts of high fashion, women no longer have to sacrifice comfort for glamour. This is not attire you rush to take off or leave hanging in a closet. They are as comfortable as your favorite leggings or hoodie but leave you looking polished and refined. Each design delivers versatility with the ability to wear sneakers or stilettos with every timeless design and look equally as glamorous.

(IN)LARKIN is for the woman who wants to be comfortable, feel beautiful and live fully.

The Victor Restaurant

Introducing The Victor, the newest restaurant in Santa Ynez spearheaded by Executive Chef, Beto Huizar. Inspired by our location in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, our offerings focus on live fire, land, and sea.

Each dish is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients from California’s central coast. The live fire component is attributed to our use of a Josper Oven and a traditional Santa Maria Grill to smoke, roast, and grill.

Syrahs & Grenaches

Founded in 2018 hand-crafting wines that are compelling and delicious expressions of site and origin from the great vineyards of Santa Barbara County Wine Country.

Terre et Sang is a family. We are a mother and son leading a small crew of hard working people with the simple desire to make that which we love, together. Each vintage we make a small amount of single-vineyard Syrahs & Grenaches as well as some unique blends from our collection of storied sites. The winemaking is attentive and detail-oriented but never manipulative. We want the fruit to speak for itself.

Native9 Wine

Deliberate. Historic. Sublime.

Winemaker Justin Willett and grower/owner James Ontiveros are at the top of their game with these Native9 Wines, a style Doug Wilder from the Purely Domestic Wine Report calls out as ‘extraordinary’ (10/2022) (rating the current wines 95-98 points.) Tours are conducted by Wes Hagen, who has grown and made wine in Santa Barbara for 30 years and researched and wrote most of the American Viticultural Areas in Santa Barbara History. Expect elegant, deliberate wines of time and place and a level of hospitality that will surprise and delight the wine newbie all the way to a Master Somm. Wine and Spirits Top 100 Wineries of the World: 2021.

Rancho Ontiveros

Established in 1781. James Ontiveros’ ancestor, Josef Ontiveros came from Avila Spain, through Sinaloa, MX, Loreto, Baja and into San Diego and Los Angeles with the Reyes expedition in 1781. The family landed in Santa Maria in 1855, and farming, ranching, cattle and grapes have been part of their family since the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Come hear and taste the whole story.”

Dovecote Ranch and Estate Winery

Dovecote Ranch and Estate Winery is dedicated to growing and crafting wines that allow the beauty and character of our land to speak through them. Our 30-year old own-rooted vines and sandy-limestone soils produce small quantities of intensely concentrated cool-climate Rhône fruit. Local daily marine influence slows and extends ripening for uncommon complexity and grace.

Dovecote Wines

Dovecote Wines are completely farmed and made by hand with a deep respect and love for their origin. They are meant as an ode to our family’s gratitude in calling this special place home. In their creation, it is our hope that our lives contribute to their meaning, and their meaning contribute to the lives of those we share them with.

Please join us and we’d be honored to share our wines with you.

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).

Winegrowers Alliance

The Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance was formed in 1997 to unify growers and winemakers in the Western Santa Ynez Valley for the purpose of developing their own American Viticulture Area and to promote this unique wine growing region.

Sta. Rita Hills American Viticulture Appellation (AMA)

The Sta. Rita Hills American Viticulture Appellation is located on California’s Central Coast in Santa Barbara County. The Pacific Ocean’s marine layer and afternoon ocean breezes traverse the coastal valley corridors between the Purisima Hills and the Santa Rosa Hills, creating the perfect environment for growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other cool climate wine grape varieties.

Alliance Mission

The Sta. Rita Hills AVA status was granted in 2001 by the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Regulation Division. The mission of the Alliance is to support the viticulture and enological business interests of its 47 Members, as they relate to grapes and wine from our AVA.

Demetria Estate

Established in 2005, Demetria Estate is a family owned winery. Our goal is to produce wines of distinction and character rivaling those of the world’s greatest estates. Our wines are artfully crafted to showcase the unique growing conditions of the Santa Ynez Valley and Sta. Rita Hills. We believe that low yields, sustainable and biodynamic farming practices, and gentle winemaking produce wines of exceptional quality.

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.
