The Brander Vineyard, Santa Ynez

I’m a local and had friends I. Town so thought I’d try somewhere new… we had a few tasting and bottle of wine. The wine on the gating menu was not to any of our likely. We order a bottle of Sav Blanc that came out warm. The team seems to think that warm white wine was not an issue and putting ice in the bucket was good costumer service. Overall the service was sub par and so was the experience. I will not be back.

Stop 2 on a recent wine tour. Overall great experience. Wine was great and staff was hospitable and informative. Nice area is available for having lunch or just hanging out for a glass of wine or 2. Probably the one turn off was the cat that parked itself on the bar during our tasting. We moved to away from the bar at that point. Wasn't really feeling a wine glass with cat hair in it. Maybe keep the cat outside.
