After graduating from college in 1994, Benjamin used his science background to land a position with winemaker Daniel Gehrs at Zaca Mesa Winery in Santa Barbara County. After harvest, they offered him a full-time position as the winemaker's assistant. “Dan took me under his wing as an apprentice winemaker and nurtured my passion for viticulture and winemaking” explained Benjamin. Upon Gehrs’ departure in 1998, Benjamin took over Zaca Mesa’s winemaking helm.Benjamin left Zaca Mesa in 2000 to launch his own label Silver Wines producing old vine Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Gruner Veltliner, Pinot Noir vin gris, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Nebbiolo and Sangiovese. All grapes are sourced from Santa Barbara County vineyards, many of which are 35-40 years old. "My passion & therefore drive, is to set a benchmark for Sangiovese & Nebbiolo in the new world." So come to the shop Tuesday July 9th at 6pm and meet Benjamin, taste his amazing wines, have some locally made cheese, and listen to some music by the Noleta Time Travelers. $25 per person.
