Anyone have anything new re: Santa Barbara?

Isn't that funny? Photography is what I do that pays the mortgage. Wine writing lets you be nosey and learn a lot, but doesn't earn a lot of money. Tell your brother that there's a ton of stuff to photograph in the wine country and I can say that from experience.

An if he's a visual person, all the more reason to take him to see Sideways.

But what you need for your wine-tasting adventure is a map, so it all makes sense. Los Olivos is a town in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country. If you will go to www.sbcountywines.com/visiting/map.htm then that should pull you up some maps that will help you with your route.

Once you get there, it will be easier. There are signs and wineries can help direct you to where you want to go next. Heck even if you get temporarily lost, there's some beautiful countryside to drive around.
