Palmina Winery
February 21, 2010

On a road trip to the Central Coast area of Southern California, I was introduced to a winery named Palmina.  They specialize in traditional Italian varietals that are modern by design because of the very unique characteristics of the soil and climate of Santa Barbara County.  The winery keeps their production small so that they can continue their commitment to high quality production.  Palmina was founded by Steve Clifton in 1995.  He is partners in the winery with his wife Chrystal.  They share a love of wine, food and the feeling of family and friends brought about by the sharing of wine. When I was at their tasting room I found their wines very drinkable and of excellent quality.  The menu was prepared by Chef Jorge Espinosa.
