Since the 1970s, farmers and vintners seeking to make Pinot noir and Chardonnay with bright acidity, aromatic complexity, and purity of expression have been pushing out to the far coast of Sonoma County, culminating in the establishment of the West Sonoma Coast AVA in 2022. Due to their proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean, vineyards lying on these ridges and hills are often enshrouded in fog and buffeted by wind and the wines, as a result, speak clearly of their unique place. This seminar will explore what makes this AVA unlike any other region in the world and why it is one of the most exciting regions growing these varieties today.
