Join us for an At Home Session with Justin Willett, a young, ambitious winemaker to keep an eye on.
Justin Willett worked as an assistant to Joe Davis at Arcadian after attending University of the Pacific. In 2005, he started his own label specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from vineyards in Santa Barbara County.
Justin's inspiration has come from local winemakers and European producers such as Roulot, Bonneau du Martray, Dujac, Bachelet and Rousseau. He only works with estates that allow him to play an active role in the vineyard. One example is old vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Sanford & Benedict Vineyard.
Justin is also the estate winemaker for four different properties in Santa Barbara County (including Wenzlau Vineyard and Grassini Family Vineyard).
Participants will receive the Zoom link in the confirmation email.
