Region: Santa Barbara County
Owner and Winemaker: Larry Schaffer
About: I concentrate on making small lot, hand crafted wines using fruit from leading Santa Barbara County vineyards. My main focus are Rhone varieties – I’ll be President of the Board of Directors of the Rhone Rangers in 2025 – but also work with other interesting varieties.
What is your favorite forgotten grape? Tough to Answer – perhaps Picpoul Blanc right now
What was your first experience with a forgotten grape? I remember having my first Gewurztraminer – from Austria – and I could not believe how ‘different’ it was.
What do you love most about the forgotten grapes? I love how they provide distinctive flavors and aromas that expand ones horizons as to what wine can be.
