"Owned by James Sparks, Kings Carey is a winery in the Solvang area that exemplifies the presence of serious urban-wine operations just steps from the town center and provides opportunities for guests to learn about local viticulture amid the tourist setting." - Justin Goldman
"Just outside Solvang, I found James Sparks’s unassuming industrial tasting spot to be unexpectedly rewarding: he greets visitors by appointment and pours minimal-intervention wines made from organic grapes, drawing on experience at respected wineries like Dragonette Cellars and Liquid Farm. His personal label covers Semillon, Grenache, Chardonnay, and Syrah, as well as some experimental sparkling wines, and he serves them with a self-deprecating humility that makes the tastings feel personable and fun." - Lauren Mowery
"A very small wine label run by winemaker James Sparks that has begun slowing production amid pandemic-related declines in tasting-room traffic and tourism; its limited scale and reliance on in-person visits make it vulnerable, though experienced winemaking expertise provides some resilience." - Farley Elliott
