our wines start in the vineyard...

santa ynez valley   |   fiddlestix (sta. rita hills)   |   willamette valley

                        Fiddlehead was created around the cool climate appellations proven to be great for Pinot Noir – the North Willamette 
                        Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills.  Santa Barbara County, which is uniquely known for its transverse valleys, allows Kathy to 
                        add Sauvignon Blanc from the significantly more easterly potion of the Santa Ynez Valley (more specifically designated 
                        as “Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara” AVA) into the Fiddlehead mix.

                        Regardless of where they are located, our vineyards are: 
                            -    Place specific for the varietal
                            -    Sustainably farmed
                            -    Hand nurtured
                            -    Intuitively managed
                            -    Night harvested
                            -    Field sorted

                        We demand the highest quality fruit, and this only comes from a commitment to modest yields and diligent farming.
