You have to try one of the "famous" Jalama burgers and I promise you won't be disappointed -- visitors come from all over just to get a Jalama burger! </span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The Lompoc Wine Ghetto has the second largest concentration of tasting rooms in Santa Barbara County, and you will have a great time exploring the different wineries. The “Wine Ghetto” clearly got its name from its no-frills, industrial center home, but don't be fooled by first appearances. Born and raised in Lompoc I am proud to call it my home. I can't count the times I drove right by the wine ghetto on the quest for the 'next great winery'. I don't even remember why I went there the first time, I just remember I was pleasantly surprised once I walked through the doors. Palmina winery was my first taste in Lompoc's Wine Ghetto and I felt I was transported to another place. Not only was the atmosphere welcoming but the wines were some of the best I had tried. I have yet to taste a wine in the ghetto that wasn't superb. The Lompoc Wine Ghetto is located in the Sobhani Industrial Center located behind Home Depot, just north of Hwy. 246. It seems new wineries are popping up all over Lompoc and many think it is becoming the next Napa Valley. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It has been a while since I have blogged because I have been so busy but really wanted to share about this great winery restaura</span><span style="font-size: large;">nt and their annual harvest dinner. I love good wine and great food; so when I find a winery that is exceptional in both departments it makes for a fabulous evening. Gourmet food, delicious wine, friendly staff and the perfect choice of background music; what more could you ask for. The wine was flowing and everything from the appetizers to desert was perfect and presented beautifully. In fact it was the best meal I have had in a very long time. The event took place in their barrel room and it was a festive and a fantastic evening with a great group of wine enthusiasts. Check out their restaurant and tasting room at 24 industrial way in Buellton where you will find 24 wineries under one roof. If you are looking for a great wine club or just a great place for lunch or dinner I give Avant 5 stars. </span></div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">Avant Tappas and Wine in Buellton, California, is off the beaten trail but definitely a great find! Don't let the fact that it is located in an industrial area fool you. T</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">he restaurant has a great ambiance and</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"> we were greeted with a smile from the manger, Joe Padilla. Avant not only has a great menu and fantastic food but also something a little different and unique. One wall is lined with dispensers from different wineries and you can try as many as you would like. You receive a card that inserts into the machine and then you can choose from a 1oz pour, up to a full glass. Find one you love ( and you will find quite a few) and pour yourself a glass of vino to compliment your meal. The card keeps track of your total and they add it to your bill; really fun and easy! Be sure to have some tappas before your meal and I highly recommend the yuppie crack; Applewood Smoked Bacon,Dates,Goat Cheese with a Balsamic Reduction,Basil Oil Drizzel. YUMMMM!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">You can find Avant on<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AvantWines">Facebook </a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;">where Joe usually has a great special going just for 'fans'. Avant also has specials on Groupon from time to time so keep an eye out for one. If you aren't familiar with<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"> <a href="http://www.groupon.com/santa-barbara">Groupon</a></span> then you should definitely check it out. Groupon offers great discounts on local services when enough people buy. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, 'Lucida Grande', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At the back of the restaurant is a the sister company Terravant. Terravant is a production facility that prepares and bottles wines for quite a few of the local wineries. Joe took us on a tour of the facility and it was really quite impressive. Huge vats of grapes that were going through the process of becoming some of the wonderful wines from the Santa Rita Hills</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We are at the tail end of wild flower season, on Mount Figueroa, in Los Padres National Forest. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><a href="http://www.lotsafunmaps.com/Santa_Barbara/Figueroa_Mountain_Road.html">Figueroa mountain road</a></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> is a beautiful drive and when the flowers are in bloom it is quite spectacular. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The wildflowers on Figueroa Mountain are off to a very unusual
start this year, largely due to the lack </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">of rain and unusual weather. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">It is no surprise the flowers are exhibiting a bit of confusion; flowers that normally do not bloom until mid </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">April, early May, bloomed in January this year and are now drying out. It may be a short and rapid flower season
this year; but it would still be worth the drive because the area is beautiful and has abundant <a href="http://www.gorp.com/parks-guide/travel-ta-los-padres-national-forest-hiking-california-sidwcmdev_065920.html">hiking trails</a>.

Flowers and shrubs are in bloom, just not in that drive-by-fields-of-color kind of way. This season you will have to leave your car and spend some time looking around on foot to appreciate nature's beauty. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Pack a picnic lunch with your favorite bottle of vino and enjoy the beautiful views of the valley. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I so love technology - especially the internet! Anything I need to know, or want to learn is right at my fingertips. There is a great site called "<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/">stumbled upon</a>", that helps you discover and share great websites that may be of interest to you and your friends. Since this blog is about great things to eat and drink, I thought I would share a fantastic <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2jTPBU/www.foodandwinepairing.org">resource for food and wine</a>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"> Of course this is just a guide; there are really no steadfast rules when it comes to enjoying good food and a great bottle of wine! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">However, when it matters and you want to find the best wine to compliment your meal, then this a great resource. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">Remember that foods tend to go well with the wines they grew up with. So if you are having an Italian meal you may want to choose an Italian wine. <a href="http://palminawines.com/about.html">Palmina</a> winery, in Lompoc <a href="http://www.lompocghetto.com/">wine ghetto</a>, would be my first choice for some exceptional Italian wines.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I really LOVE this winery! <a href="http://saarloosandsons.com/SAARLOOSANDSONS/Welcome.html">Saarloos and Son's</a> combines two of my favorite things - cupcakes and good wine! Not just any cupcakes but wine-infused goodness, made by Enjoy; a gourmet cupcake company. The tasting room has a very vintage feel reminding me of times long ago. Tyler, our wine pourer, was delightful and fun. Their wine labels are so unique and are "a tribute to those that came before them". Labels feature family members with pictures dating back to 1945 (when their grandparents married). I got a feeling of strong family traditions that will be passed down for generations to come. With names like 'Father', 'Mother' and 'Son', I really loved looking at the pictures and getting a small glimpse of their family history......oh and the wines were really good too! I actually surprised myself and ordered a glass of 'Mother' after our tasting. A Grenache Blanc that was really fruity and crisp. Perfect for a hot summer day in beautiful Los Olivos. We opted for the wine and cupcake pairing so it was $10.00 for each. Enjoy creates a different flight of cupcakes each week and they pair nicely with Saarloo's wines. Be sure to 'Like' Saarloo's and Son's' on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/SaarloosandSons"> Facebook</a> and 'Share' this great little find with friends. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://enjoycupcakes.com/">'ENJOY'</a> .....Great name, great cupcakes! With 350 flavors to date I may have to go back a few more times! Their menu changes weekly but they always have their signature treat; a Chocolate sarah cake filled with dark chocolate fudge, blackberry frosting topped with a sarah soaked blackberry that has been rolled in sugar! YUMM!!! If you are in the area you must stop in and try the pairing. You will be glad you did.</span></div>

Located in Old Town Lompoc, at the west end of Santa Rita Hills, is the quaintest little wine bar with a great selection of local <a href="http://winebardvine.com/wine-list/">wines</a> -by the glass or bottle- and specialty beers for those that prefer something other than the fruit of the vine. D'vine is the ideal destination to enjoy great food and wine in a relaxing, friendly, atmosphere. When I walk through the door at D'Vine I feel like I have been transported to another place… Tuscany or Milan perhaps. The owner, Karen May, is there to greet you with a smile and help you pick out the perfect glass of vino. Karen features a different artist every few months, so she always has some very unique art pieces adorning her walls, and there is often live entertainment on weekends. Tonight I had the pleasure of listening to Jon Stephen Faget, on his guitar. Jon is an amazing musician and plays a very nice array of Spanish/Mediterranean style music. His CD, Kandugottu, Go to Flamenco Island, is available for purchase at D'Vine.<br />

Such a great little place to hang out with friends and share a nice glass of wine -or beer- while enjoying some delicious treats. Chef A.J. makes a really superb, artisian cheese platter that is vey beautifully presented. It has the Chef’s selection of cheeses, sopressata (Italian salami), sliced bread with mixed sun dried black mission figs, baked macadamia nuts (oven roasted with sea salt and herbs de provence) and a mediterranean medley olive blend. Delicious, and it went very nicely with the Turchi 2009 Pinot Noir, he recommended. A.J. also offers a nice selection of unique entrees sure to tantalize anyone’s taste buds. Besides one-of-a-kind <a href="http://winebardvine.com/to-eat/">Tapas</a> prepared to perfection, he makes a Chili spiced chocolate torte, with candied applewood smoked bacon that is sure to delight. Yes,I said bacon! You will just have to trust me on this one and at least try it. Be sure to tell Karen that Kim sent you in to try A.J.'s very special chocolate torte. Another favorite was the Cali Pizza; Spinach pesto with olive tapenade, tomato bruschetta, goat cheese and a touch of scallion. This particular evening, Russ and I shared the Mediterranean style pizza made with olive oil, mozzarella and parmesan with serrano ham, arugula with balsamic vinaigrette. I also tried the piquillo peppers stuffed with spinach and goat cheese and served on a bed of arugula greens with a citrus dressing (pictured below). The non-vegitarian is stuffed with chorizo and manchego cheese. DELICIOUS!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Russ and I kicked off the Wine & Fire Weekend Friday night at <a href="http://winebardvine.com/">D'vine Wine Bar</a> in Lompoc. We got to try some fantastic wines from six of the local winery's and some delicious tapas (a variety of small savory dishes shared communally amongst friends) to complement our wine tasting experience. Chef A.J. prepared some interesting food combinations that were really quite delicious. For example, at Saturdays grand tasting event, </b><b>he served a </b><b>Grenache chocolate torte topped with candied applewood smoked bacon - Who does that? Well Chef A.J., and it was out of this world. I had to sample three just to make sure I really liked it! LOL</b></span></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Saturday morning setting for the symposium was in the iconic <a href="http://www.almarosawinery.com/about/vineyard.html">El Jabalí Vineyard</a> at Alma Rosa. It consisted of a diverse panel of pioneers and newcomers, that gave us some very interesting history on the Sta. Rita Hills, and how it has evolved over the past 40 years. As we sat there sampling some of the finest wines form the area, I could actually feel "the Pacific Ocean fighting with Summer." We got to hear from Richard Sanford (the "Grand Daddy of Sta.Hills") Rick Longoria, Kathy Joseph, Bruno D'Alfonso, Morgan Clendenen, Ryan Zotovich and Ryan Carr. I had heard about "the magic" of the Sta. Rita Hills and how it produces superior wines, but it was nice to hear the story from Richard Sanford himself, and how he discovered this remarkable geographic anomaly. The area owes this magic to an unusual mountain range that runs east to west, from the vineyards to the Pacific Ocean. This passage allows an ebb-and-flow between the mountains and the sea, making it uniquely susceptible to the oceans cooling influence. A typical day in Sta. Rita Hills starts with marine layer clouds and fog, which eventually burns off and then few hours of sunshine until the on-shore winds pick up, cooling things down again. If you are from this area, then you are very familiar with the early morning fog burning off mid-morning and the wind coming up later in the day. We may not love the weather at times but apparently the grapes do. The micro-climate, along with the sedimentary soils, make it one of the most diverse grape growing regions in the world. Although the movie <a href="http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/s/sideways.html">"Sideways"</a></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> put this area on the map for it's exceptional Pinot Noir, I think the future will see more varietals from this area. They are already planting some smaller crops of Syrah, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Voignier, Pinot Blanc, Grenache and Sauvingnon Blanc just to name a few. In 1997 there was 14 vineyards totaling 500 acres. Today there is approximately 59 vineyards totaling 2,686 acres. I am looking forward to the future of Sta. Rita Hills and all that it will bring to us wine lovers. All I can say is, Napa move over! </span></b><br />

Rita Hills selections and various restaurants serving grilled appetizers and deserts. We sampled savory foods from: The<a href="http://www.hitchingpost2.com/"> Hitching Post</a>, Avant, (with their yummy seared ahi taco's), <a href="http://winebardvine.com/">D'Vine</a>, <a href="http://www.ballardinn.com/">Ballard Inn</a>, (that served a sumptuous pan seared duck breast and sweet potato puree), <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Florianos-Mexican-Food/204410729588867">Floriono's</a>, Homegrown Cowboy (with his delicious beans), and<a href="http://www.rooneysirishpub.net/"> Rooney's Irish Pub</a>, (that was serving Sta. Rita raised roast suckling pig). Russ and I enjoyed every bite and the weather couldn't have been more cooperative. Our passport allowed us complimentary tastings at many of the local winery's. We wanted to take full advantage of the great opportunity but first stop was Avant Tapas and Wine in Buellton. After a wonderful brunch we headed out to try a few of the wineries on our list. What a fantastic weekend! Barbara Satterfield, who spear-headed the entire event, did a such a fabulous job and everything went off without a hitch. In fact Russ said and I quote "this was one of the best weekends we have spent together as a couple", "it was an orgy of food and wine!" Who could ask for more; great wine, wonderful food, excellent company, beautiful weather, and doing two of the things we enjoy most…photography and wine tasting. </span></b><br />

The winery has a very </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">picturesque landscape</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">, that was once an Arabian horse farm and rehabilitation center. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">The design of the winery pays homage to California's missions, with a Spanish-style bell tower, and a fountain surrounded by a stone courtyard. Climb the stairs at the bottom of the bell tower to enjoy breathtaking views of the grounds and vineyards.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">We stopped by the members lounge to pick up our wine and headed down to the lake to enjoy a nice picnic lunch.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; line-height: 21px;">If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic spot to enjoy a picnic lunch, this is it. You have to be a club member to have access to the lake and horses, so with the exception of the horse drawn carriage that went by a few times, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. This is truly God's country!</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We were back at Alma Rosa this weekend, since we loved the wines and they were having a fun wine tasting event. We really enjoyed meeting members from all over as well as more of the staff. I let Russ take the pictures so I could mingle and enjoy the wine and food! hehe. We got to meet Chris, the tasting room manager as well as being a famous movie star. You might recognize him from being in the movie "Sideways". You can check out some of the <a href="http://www.almarosawinery.com/recipes.html">recipes</a> he has created to pair with their nice assortment of fine wines. The Sanfords are only producing the Alma Rosa vintage wines as of now, and they are delicious, well balanced wines. If you are in the Buellton area I would highly recommend stopping by to enjoy some of the finest fruits on the vines produced anywhere.</span></div>

The wine tasting room was once an old milking barn built in the early 1900's and is very quaint and rustic. Wood burning in an old fashioned fire place gave it a very homey feel and Emily and Sharon were very knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the wines but was most impressed with the fact that they are certified organic. Richard Sandford came to Santa Ynez Valley 40 years ago and was the first to recognize the potential of the Santa Rita Hills and first to plant Pinot Noir vines. He is a pioneer with an <a href="http://www.almarosawinery.com/news.html">established reputation</a> for excellence in winemaking. His</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> wine is a reflection of the Alma (soul) of the Rancho. Traditional corks have been replaced with twist off closures to eliminate the mustiness imparted by bad corks and I am finding I like them much better.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bluebird and owl boxes are maintained for rodent control and the vineyard provides refuge for endangered birds and other wildlife. We became <a href="http://www.almarosawinery.com/club.html">wine club members</a> and I am looking forward to a picnic lunch at one of the picnic tables down by the creek under the redwood trees.</span><br />

Located in </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><b>Santa Ynez Valley just off highway 154 Roblar’s focus is on wine and gourmet foods. The wine tasting room has a little gift shop with a nice selection of</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><b> cookbooks that Russ would love to own. </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><b>The wood-sided complex has gardens, terraces, lawns, verandas, exqisite oaks and a lovely outdoor fountain. The spacious tasting room is a beautiful setting for enjoying their Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. It sits on 18 acres of vineyards that are planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Merlot. </b></span><b>They serve delicious food, grown right on their own grounds, or purchased from local farms. Roblar offers food and wine pairing or you can do wine tasting for $14.00, which includes a nice mixture of reds and whites and a souvenir glass to take home. Upstairs is a beautiful, </b><b>members only lounge, that is very quaint with an outside patio to enjoy the beautiful weather the valley has to offer, or an indoor fireplace for those chilly fall and winter days. Not to worry if you are not a member, they also have a very nice fireplace downstairs. Roblar prepares a wonderful food and wine pairing event every two months for their club members. You can click<a href="http://roblarwinery.com/roblar-food.html"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;">here</span></a> for some of their yummy recipes. Just minutes from Los Olivos, it is a place you will definitely want to check out. Be sure to tell Bryon we sent you!</b></span></div>
