My personal favorite. They have red wine list, white wine list and red & white list.
Late harvest Chardonnay has unique honey flavor which is on the white wine list. If you also like Italian wine, just go on a block to its sister store The Mandolina Tasting Room located 1665 Copenhagen Drive with half-priced wine taste.

Since pioneering the growing of premium vineyards in Santa Barbara County, Louis Lucas has continued to provide grapes to many of California's best wineries. Attention to detail in the vineyards produces the quality necessary for the winemaker to create these fine wines.
