A place, a grape, and a love story: the science behind the perfect pairing of Santa Barbara and Pinot Noir
Instructor Name(s)

Course Description
Thin-skinned. Temperamental. Complex. Such is the vitis vinifera grape variety Pinot Noir. This sought-after fruit demands exact, specific circumstances in order to thrive. In particular, the cool viticultural regions of Santa Barbara are an ideal fit. The high cost of maintaining Pinot Noir vineyards means that all production decisions are important. The aim of this course is to scientifically link growing conditions, agricultural interventions, and winemaking processes to the profile of local Pinot Noirs. In honor of the 20th anniversary of the movie Sideways, we will examine how its praise of SB Pinot Noir has affected consumers and winemakers alike.
