A California Winery Blog

The wine industry does not leave the limelight in the middle of economic slowdowns, but instead the focus has changed to value based choices.  The media (ie. reputable wine publications) can highlight this shift by writing feature articles that introduce consumers to wines that fit the mold of the article.  Recently my email box has been bombarded with subject lines reading “Best Value,” “Best Wines Under $25,” and “Recession Proof Wines” from local wine stores and wineries.  So, now I will put my two cents in and highlight the very reasonable prices we have on our wines - from Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noirs to Santa Barbara County Chardonnays to one of our best sellers, the 13th vintage of the consistently delicious ZCS blend.
