During Christmas my husband and I drove to Ojai. Ostensibly we were there for an office Christmas party. However, I had a hidden agenda. I planned to pick up a few bottles of wine from a local winery called Casa Barranca. The winery is owned by the husband of a friend of mine, Eliza Moses.
"Casa Barranca is the first organic winery on the central Coast, a region that lends itself very favorably to the production of Pinot wine grapes. There is a tangible difference in the expressive taste of an organic wine, just as there is a difference with organic fruits and vegetables. Without interruption, the wine is an expression of the land from which it came. And yet it is not this fact alone that makes Casa Barranca wine special.
There is a certain ceremony, a sanctity given to the grapes that are grown here by the workers who tend them. Casa Barranca’s wine is designed to be approached not as a mindless intoxicant, but rather grown, harvested and partaken of with reverence and again, intention."
