Lo-Fi Wines

"Lo-Fi’s bare-bones tasting room isn’t the flashiest in town, but it’s worth a visit just to sample the most interesting, minerally wines being made in Santa Ynez Valley these days. It’s owned by two friends who live in town, and many of the grapes they use are grown in Los Alamos proper. The tiny space fills up quickly on weekends—you might have to lean against the wall until a seat opens up—but if standing around sipping chilled gamay and listening to vinyl records spinning behind the bar is the worst part of your afternoon, you’ve had a pretty good day." - brant cox

"Walking into Lo-Fi, you're greeted by the sweet sound of needle meeting vinyl, and a tasting room staff that's as down home as they come. Los Alamos locals rub elbows with young winemakers and wine-savvy Angelenos. Natural wine has become a bit of a buzz word in the industry, but Lo Fi is the real deal. Using neutral barrels, native yeasts, little to no sulfur additions, and no adjustment of pH, they embrace a nothing added, nothing taken away approach that makes for some really interesting wine reflective of the region. Don’t miss out on their Coquelicot Cab Franc or the Chenin Blanc." - Maxwell Williams, Krista Simmons

A low-key wine bar with the finest selection of the local natural wines, as well as vinyls playing all night on the turntable.
