Scott Cellars

I have been here several times. Actually, my only wine club membership belongs to Scott Cellars. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. The tastings are fun, because they do comparisons and pairings and such...but all this pales in comparison to the brilliant wine they pour. I have never been to a place where I enjoyed EVERY wine. The Pinot was masterful..ripe and delicious, and don't get me started on the Cuvee J. I brought friends and family in last time, and they came away with the same impression. If you are a wine lover, you are doing yourself a disfavor if you don't stop in here.

Peter makes the best wines I have had. His Pinot is rich, smooth, and full of nuance and character. Simply the best pinot in California, & maybe the world. His cuvee is intricate and robust. The whites are equally amazing. The tasting room is a little hidden but worth the search.

Scott Cellars is a great place to taste wine. I stopped in here as part of a Santa Ynez Valley Jeep Tour adventure, and ended up staying for over an hour. The head winemaker, Peter, is so enthusiastic about wine, that it's infectious. We enjoyed all his bottlings, especially the Cuvee J (Zin/Syrah) blend, matched perfectly with dark chocolate. You could tell that he loved his job and that he had found his niche. His wines must be hard to get, since he only produces about 1,000 cases, so I'd recommend stopping in and picking some bottles up for yourself.
