In the 1980s, Pete’s father Tom searched Santa Barbara for potential vineyard sites. They placed an offer in 1988, and finally, in 1990, took possession of a piece of land in Santa Ynez Valley’s Ballard Canyon. They started planting with the intention of being growers, and not winemakers: They would focus on quality—limiting yields, irrigating minimally—and supply the area winemakers who were willing and able to pay for top-flight grapes.
Almost immediately, Stolpman fruit was claimed by two of the titans of California’s Central Coast: Sine Qua Non, and Ojai Vineyard. Steve Beckmen of Beckmen Vineyards was also an early purchaser of Stolpman’s Ballard Canyon grapes, and was so impressed that he ended up purchasing an adjacent property.
Situated on the limestone hills of Ballard Canyon in Santa Ynez Valley lies the organic estate of the Stolpman Family. The limestone is an utter rarity in California and it is one of the secrets to their aromatically complex, dynamically vibrant wines. But the secret to activating that limestone does not lie with the organic farming or the hand-harvesting. The secret to the Stolpman wine’s freshness and perfect balance is the fact that they do not irrigate. Sure, it stresses the hell out of the vines but it forces the roots to go really deep, to tap the groundwater that is seriously affected by the limestone. The resulting grapes are tiny, packed with flavor and brimming with the stony minerality that only the limestone can bring.
The Sauvignon Blanc is aromatic and fine, loaded with flavors of limes and passion fruit, wrapped tightly by a fresh acidity and stony finish. Pair with just about anything, great choice for a house white wine.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
