The Wine Down - A Taste of Santa Barbara Wine Country with Brandon Sparks-Gillis of Dragonette Cellars
Having learned about wine while working as a clerk at Wally's Wine and Spirits, Brandon Sparks-Gillis took his taster's apprenticeship to co-found Dragonette Cellars with John and Steve Dragonette. Years of cultivation and experience helped them create a truly outstanding label that Brandon shares with the Wine Down.
We discuss growing in the central coast, working with luminary winemakers, and taste several excellent bottles from Dragonette.
GUEST BIO:
John and Steve Dragonette and close friend Brandon Sparks-Gillis formed Dragonette Cellars in order to pursue a long-held dream to produce wines of the utmost quality and purity from the finest vineyards in Santa Barbara County and the Central Coast. Every bottle that leaves our winery is 100% produced by family members.
We have poured our experience into producing cool-climate expressions of Pinot Noir and Syrah from vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley, Sta. Rita Hills, and York Mountain, and Sauvignon Blanc from the uniquely suitable area of Happy Canyon.

Wine Country @ Work Episode 6 West Napa Downtown
Social Media has a big impact in the world of wine tourism, not surprising since those who love wine, and work in related businesses, love talking about wines. In Napa an important nexus of the social media world is the downtown Quent Cordair Gallery. Here Linda Cordair set out to weave the local social media community together with her 'Tweet Ups', evening events at the gallery where everyone arrived with their Twitter Handle on a name tag and a bottle of wine in hand, based on a theme; Pinots this month, Cabernets next! In this episode, while surrounded by beautiful figurative art, host Ralph de Amicis interviews Linda about what it is like running a gallery in Wine Country, the ins and outs of the local social media community and being a part of the remarkable transformation of downtown Napa. Watch through July on Napa Valley TV on Mondays at 3PM and Saturdays at 4:30PM, or anytime at AmicisTours.com/cordair.html.

Visit
Paso Robles is a gourmand's playground. Organic fruits and vegetables abound, as well as grass-fed meats, virgin olive oil and artisanal cheese. Located only 30 minutes from the California coast, the area's aquaculture provides an abundance of fresh fish, oysters and even abalone. This rich bounty, coupled by a vast wine region, has created a natural marriage of culinary and wine that is inspiring many ambitious and creative chefs from all over the country to move to the area to open restaurants. As a result, Paso Robles has become a leader in innovative farm fresh cuisine. Working hand in hand with area farmers, ranchers and fisherman, innovative local cuisine abounds on menus throughout the area including hotspots such as Thomas Hill Organics, Artisan, Cass Winery Café, Farmstand 46, Il Cortile Ristorante, Enoteca and Paso Robles Inn Restaurant. Several chefs have taken it upon themselves to grow their own produce including Farmstand 46, Thomas Hill Organics and Villa Creek
