Below is the YouTube video to watch the trailer of the short film Grand Cru. It stars Hailee Steinfeld, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in True Grit. In the trailer you can see the caves and her holding a bottle of Sharon’s Pinot.

Luscious Year

Never in my years of being a vintner have I ever seen the Cottonwood vines look so luscious. This year has been an amazing year for growth of not only vines we planted last year, but the older vines as well. The vines have been green for quite a few months now and the amount of foliage is astronomical. It is going to be a very large harvest, but the fruits should provide outstanding flavor. If you haven’t come out to the winery in a while, I strongly encourage you to bask in the beauty.

New Restaurant Blog!

After a nearly 11-year battle trying to get approval, we’ve finally done it. Cottonwood Canyon was approved in Dec./Jan. timeframe to begin construction on a restaurant. The Bistro at Cottonwood Canyon will be an exclusive lunch only restaurant and the only restaurant located on the same property as a winery in all of Santa Barbara County! For those that already have visited the Santa Maria Valley for wine tasting, you know that there is definitely a need for a high quality restaurant along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. And where better to have it than at Cottonwood Canyon, overlooking the beautiful Sharon’s Vineyard. The Bistro will feature a unique French-Japanese fusion menu, focusing on smaller plates, deep flavors and wonderful wine pairings. The Bistro will also be home of the new Cottonwood Canyon tasting room, complete with intimate tables for tastings and a fireplace to cozy up to with a glass of wine and a good book. Not to mention, there will also be a banquet facility ideal for corporate parties, birthday parties, wedding receptions and meeting facilities for up to 165 people. Currently, we are in the process of recruiting financial investors looking into expanding their portfolios. If interested, please call me at the winery.
