Please join us on Wednesday, May 10th at 7pm as we welcome winemaker Etienne Terlinden and taste the incredible wines from CORDON.

 Etienne was so inspired by the viticultural areas of Santa Barbara County that in 2001 he started his own label, Cordon Wine (named to honor the vine - the cordon, or the “arms” of the grapevine, extend from the trunk and are the part where additional arms and eventually leaves and grape clusters extend from). Etienne’s goal with Cordon Wine was, and still is, to create exceptional wines that honor tradition, that are made with modern state-of-the-art techniques, that have certain ‘Old World’ sensibility (to honor his roots), and that have a true sense of place and character.

Certain grapes to better than others in specific Santa Barbara County AVA’s, and that has become Etienne’s focus with Cordon Wine - to appropriately express the microclimates and terroirs of the various appelations.
