SIP & CHIP - a Chenin Blanc Release Weekend

Saturday, March 14, 2026

The Lucas & Lewellen Tasting Room

Chenin Blanc is surging in popularity, and we’re releasing ours with a Wine Enthusiast recommended pairing you won’t forget.

Grown on our Los Alamos estate vineyard, this off-dry Chenin Blanc balances bright apricot, golden honey, fresh basil, and crisp minerality with vibrant acidity and a clean finish. It’s pure Santa Barbara terroir — elegant, textured, and endlessly food-friendly.
