Fresh off a flight from France, without a cell phone, armed only with the office number of a certain Joe Davis, and having to spend the night at LAX, Xavier Arnaudin's arrival to the USA was memorable to say the least. We will let him tell you the rest of the story when he's visiting for our Winemaker Wednesday Happy Hour. 

Based in Paso Robles, Xavier's winemaking style at Union Sacre pays homage to Alsace, France. Don't expect big, bold Paso wines. These are bright, fresh, elegant expressions of French, German and California varietals all crafted with European sensibility. Plus he's a VERY fun guy so get ready for a great Wednesday night! 

Cost: $20 for four wines

Then join us this weekend when we will be featuring gastronomic rosés. These are more serious terroir-driven wines with structure and complexity, freshness and fruit, and all can be paired with a wide range of dishes.

Meet the Winemaker!
2020 Wine Enthusiast’s Winemaker of the Year,
Greg Brewer of Brewer-Clifton

Saturday, April 2nd
2pm-4pm

The talented and dynamic Greg Brewer is one of the most revered winemakers in California and he will be pouring at Barbrix Wine Shop! This is your chance to be up close and personal with one of the most engaging people in the winemaking business.

Featured wines:

2021 Diatom Chardonnay
2020 Sta Rita Hills Pinot Noir
2019 Ex Post Facto Santa Barbara County Syrah

Cost: $20

In 1997, Brewer met vintner Ron Melville for whom he designed and built the Melville winery, and was his winemaker through the end of 2015. As a pioneer vintner in the Sta. Rita Hills, Greg also helped to map, define and establish the appellation, which was granted AVA status in 2001.

In 1995, he cofounded Brewer-Clifton with his friend Steve Clifton, and focused on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the hills between Buellton and Lompoc, which would eventually become the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. Brewer-Clifton quickly won accolades for being one of the earliest brands to showcase single-vineyard bottlings rather than regional blends.

Alma Rosa Winery
with Wendy Roberts, Regional Manager

Founded in 2005 by Richard Sanford, who was the first to plant Pinot Noir in the Sta. Rita Hills in 1971, the winery remains dedicated to making Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines that express the terroir of its unique appellation, the Sta. Rita Hills.
