A coast-to-coast look at how education is fuelling innovation in beer, wine and spirits
videoWhy Fog Matters in Santa Barbara Wine Country #WSET #wsetlevel3
Jimmy here in Santa Barbara County, looking at one of the key weather patterns that shapes the wines of this part of California: fog. Because the mountain ranges north of Santa Barbara run east to west, cooling winds from the Pacific are funnelled inland through valleys such as Santa Maria, Santa Ynez and the Sta. Rita Hills. When that cool air meets warmer inland temperatures, fog can form across the landscape. For viticulture, this is hugely important. Fog helps lower temperatures, preserve acidity in the grapes, reduce sunlight and UV exposure, and contribute to the bright, fresh, leaner styles often associated with Santa Barbara County wines. #SantaBarbaraWine #CaliforniaWine #WineEducation #WineWithJimmy #SantaMariaValley #SantaYnezValley #StaRitaHills #Viticulture #WineShorts #WSET
