TASTING FLIGHT:

Peake Ranch, Santa Barbara

This week, as some of CLT's schools are on Spring Break, we take those of you who haven't left town to the California coast of Santa Barbara & the Santa Rita Hills for a brilliant flight of wines from fine wine maker PEAKE RANCH winery.

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Santa Barbara County's renowned wine country, this esteemed estate stands as a beacon of excellence amidst the rolling hills and sun-drenched vineyards of the Santa Rita Hills AVA. They focus on Pinot Noir, but we'll also enjoy their Chardonnay and Rhone-style red. Wines are definitely on the med+ size of the pricing spectrum, as this is tiny production and incredible expression of quality from the appellation.

Steeped in a rich tapestry of history and tradition, Peake Ranch boasts a storied legacy that spans generations. Originally established by pioneering families who recognized the untapped potential of this land, it has since evolved into a destination revered for its exceptional wines and breathtaking vistas.

So if you're in town and looking for a virtual winery visit to Santa Barbara's Peake Ranch, join us for our $28 flight of four and immerse yourself in four wine pours that celebrate the beauty of the Central Coast and this boutique fine wine estate.

Enjoy this weather and see you soon!

Cheers,

Mark
