Bridlewood Estate Winery Video Tour Santa Barbara
Tour Bridlewood Estate Winery with Judit & Corina from
A beautiful video tour of the winery & vineyards and a quick review of English Pleasure Syrah.
Bridlewood Winery was designed for high-quality, artisan winemaking. Just inside the adobe façade of this Spanish-style winery, state-of-the-art equipment is the order of the day: pneumatic bladder presses, temperature controlled fermenters, gentle grape and wine handling systems, and the finest European and American oak barrels. Winemaker David Hopkins selects grapes from dozens of Central Coast vineyards to create his intense , lush Pinot Noir, aromatic Viognier and elegant Chardonnay. Each wine is as unique as the Bridlewood property itself. Nestled on the eastern edge of the Santa Ynez Valley, 30 miles north of Santa Barbara, our 105-acre estate is set on a high bench of ancient seabed. The picturesque landscape features a Mission-style winery, hillside vineyards and breathtaking views of the surrounding region.
~Bridlewood Estate Winery Winner Circle English Pleasure Syrah opens with floral notes of dark cherries, rose petals and violets. This is soon followed by the scents of cedar, sandalwood, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. This is an elegant wine that is full of silky tannins with a velvety finish.

Santa Barbara Wine Tours
Eric from SantaBarbaraWineTours.org talks about the Santa Barbara Wine Country, what kind of wines are made there and a couple of his favorite wineries that the wine tourist can visit to imbibe some truly delicious California wine.
Santa Barbara is a perfect place for wine tasting tours for a bunch of reasons. For one thing, it boasts a host of wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms serving up top quality wines made from in a diversity of styles from an array of grape varieties.
As for geographical diversity, you can choose from four AVAs, or designated wine appellations, for your Santa Barbara wine tours: Santa Ynez Valley, Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley, in the beautiful Santa Ynez Mountains of Santa Barbara County. These AVAs are home to over 100 wineries, many of which produce world-class wines. In fact, two wines produced in Santa Barbara County were included in Wine Spectator's top 100 wines of 2010: Tensley's Syrah Santa Barbara County, Colson Canyon Vineyard 2008, at no. 17; and Zaca Mesa's Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley 2006, at no. 29.
Just to clarify, that's no. 17 and no. 29, not just in California or America, but in the world (California in general did very well this year with fourteen of the top twenty, and four of the top five wines being from the Golden State). As this result makes clear, some of the world's best Syrah is made in the Santa Barbara Wine Country, one more reason that Santa Barbara wine tours are well worth your while. The region is also renowned for its other Rhone varietals including Grenache, Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne and Mourvedre.
Two other varietals that Santa Barbara wineries excel in are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These cool climate, Burgundian varietals do especially well in the Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley appellations, both excellent locations for Santa Barbara wine tours. The east-west orientation of the mountains surrounding these AVAs allow cooling fogs to roll in from the Pacific Ocean during the morning, and later in the day, on-shore breezes keep things cool. This maritime influence combined with the area's terrain -- which is located on the oceanic Pacific Plate rather than the continental North American Plate -- and soils favored by the Burgundian varietals, have allowed the wine makers of these two appellations to achieve stunning successes with both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Their Pinot Noirs have received more than their fair share of accolades. In fact, some Santa Barbara wine tours are focused solely on visiting wineries that excel in producing stunning wines from this popular grape variety, and speaking of California Pinot Noir in general, 2007 was a fabulous year for this famously difficult to grow and vinify fruit; the best year ever, in fact, according to California Wine author James Laube, who writes in the September 2009 issue of Wine Spectator that, The breadth and depth of quality in 2007 California Pinot Noir is unparalleled...2007, offering the greatest assortment of outstanding wines in the 25 years I've been tasting and writing about Golden State Pinot. A number of Sta. Rita Hills wines are featured among his picks for the top Pinots of 2007.
Santa Barbara wine tours have much to offer. First and foremost, an incredible number and variety of fantastic wineries and vineyards to visit including: the beautiful Curtis Winery, the environmentally conscious Sunstone Vinyards and Winery, the unassuming Kalrya Winery, the stately Bridlewood Estate Winery, the quaint Brander Vineyard, the elegant Gainey Vineyard, the cozy Buttonwood Farms Winery, the bucolic Beckman Vineyards, the rustic Foxen Winery, the colorful Blackjack Ranch Vineyards and Winery, and the grand Fess Parker Winery. Besides the wineries, Santa Barbara wine tours let you enjoy golden Southern California sunshine, sweeping, bucolic vistas, fine restaurants and friendly people when you embark on your own Santa Barbara wine tour.
One of the best ways to do that is by limousine. Click on the link for info on renting your own Santa Barbara wine tours limo.

Santa Maria California - Home Sweet Home
Santa Maria California
Video Is Diplayed In Good Faith Thankyou
In 1850, when California gained statehood, the rich soil drew farmers and other settlers, and the Santa Maria River Valley became one of the most productive agricultural areas in the state. Agriculture is still a key component of the economy for the city and the entire region.
Between 1869 and 1874, four of the valley's prominent settlers, Rudolph Cook, John Thornburg, Isaac Fesler (after whom Fesler Jr. High School is named), and Isaac Miller, farmed the land that today corners on Broadway and Main Street. The townsite map was recorded in Santa Barbara in 1875. The new city was first called Grangerville, then Central City. The city's name was changed to Santa Maria on February 18, 1885, because mail for the community was being sent by mistake to Central City, Colorado. Santa Maria comes from the name that settler Juan Pacifico Ontiveros had given to his property 25 years earlier.
The Santa Maria Valley saw oil exploration begin in 1888, leading to large-scale discoveries around the turn of the century. In 1901, Union Oil discovered the large Orcutt Oil Field in the Solomon Hills south of town, and along with a number of smaller companies began pumping oil. By the end of 1903, Union Oil had 22 wells in production. Several significant discoveries followed. In the next 80 years several large oil fields were found, and thousands of oil wells were drilled and put into production in the area. Oil development intensified in 1930s, with the discovery of the Santa Maria Valley Oil Field right underneath the southern and western parts of the city of Santa Maria, which spurred the City's growth even further.[3][not in citation given] By 1957 there were 1,775 oil wells in operation in the Santa Maria Valley, producing more than $640 million worth of oil.

Firestone Winery and Brewery in Santa Barbara
This winery and brew house owned by the famous Firestone family (yes the tires) in the temperate mountains East of Santa Barbara in the hills north of Michael Jackson's Neverland Rance has one of the most incredible beers I have ever laid my lips and throat upon. The tour was top notch, host superb and tasting even better. In the final moments of the movie clip is one of the coolest photographs i have seen -- seven of the richest and most powerful people of the early 1900's is shown in there history room -- this includes Mr. Firestone and Albert Einstein... sharing a few brews and glasses of wine no doubt!!! --a very popular destination.
