"Founded by Jim Clendenon, who trained in Burgundy, this vine-covered Spanish-style tasting room in the Presidio neighborhood reflects a restrained, balanced French-influenced style. It doubles as a wine library holding over 100 wines and older vintages that are otherwise hard to find, and tastings highlight acclaimed chardonnays and pinot noirs including a bright, crisp, slightly oaky Santa Barbara County chardonnay and the bold but balanced Isabelle pinot noir." - Georgia Freedman
