Even the most astute wine-country observers can’t keep track of every new brand to hit the market in Santa Barbara County each year. That’s where the Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure comes in to shed light on the latest labels and small-batch winemakers.
Now in its seventh year, the full weekend festival is hosting 40 different garagiste winemakers — meaning their annual production is less than 1,500 total cases — who’ll be pouring more than 150 wines at various events February 8-10. Here are the stories behind just four of these passionate producers.
