Finally got in to Chef Rick's new spot in Orcutt and a couple of the dishes were absolute grand slams. This penne with shrimp, chicken and andouille would have ABSOLUTELY WON the mac & cheese fest I judged a few weeks ago. Easily. Creamy and rich, dripping with umami but not stuffy or weird. As all who are aware of Chef Manson's cooking probably assume, everything at the new spot has a southern or Creole twist to it. Chef Rick's is back! Not much more to say about this icon than that. And just like that *poof* Santa Maria has 1 good restaurant again. @chef.ricks #SantaMaria #santamariastyle #orcutt (at Chef Rick's Ultimately Fine Foods Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SZklDFdU9/?igshid=x8pc55lxot5h

Santa Maria Valley in CA has charming wineries. This is a photo of the outdoor area of Riverbench Vineyard and Winery that was taken last October. Riverbench’s tasting room is in a restored 1920s craftsman-style house on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. They specialize in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. Riverbench has a great wine country garden and picnic area complete with a bocce ball court and horseshoe pit. The views from the winery are breathtaking and tranquil. We love the experience of wine tasting. Not only does a winery need great wine but they have to have a great location and tasting room to make the experience! Dreaming of California today. @riverbench @santamariachamber #santamariastyle #santamariavalley #winecountry #winetasting🍷 #wineries #californiawine #pinotnoir #chardonnay #californiaroadtrip #usaroadtrip #roadtrippin #roadtripping #travelwithus #winetravel #retireearlyandtravel #earlyretirement #retireearly #firemovement #winelovers #wineenthusiast #wineloversclub #travelcalifornia #santamariawines #californiatrip #visitcalifornia #californiadreaming (at Riverbench Vineyard and Winery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdsRaGDTHz/?igshid=ry1xlw3wumd9

This was taken last fall at a Santa Maria winery called Cambria Estate Winery. Cambria, located on an appropriately named road, Chardonnay Lane in Santa Maria, is lovely. Owned by the Jackson family women, mom, and two daughters, Cambria is a sustainably farmed winery. Sustainability for Cambria means they rotate cover crops, compost, and conserve water. Also, they respect animal habitat corridors that keep the land wild. The sun here is fierce, and the days are long, making chardonnay and pinot noir the most widely grown grapes here. Cambria has a wonderful tasing room and patio and beautiful grounds. Wineries in California are opening by appointment so it you are in the Santa Barbara/Bulletin area make an appointment to check them out. @cambriawines @santamariachamber #SantaMariaStyle #santamariavalley #slocounty #winecountry #californiawine #travelcouple #couplestravel #travelcouplelife #creativetravelcouples #californiaroadtrip #usaroadtrip #roadtripping #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #travel with us #retireearlyandtravel #retireearly #earlyretirement #firemovement #wineenthusiast #winelovers🍷 #wineloversclub #lovewine #californiatrip #centralcalifornia #visitcalifornia #californiadreaming #winewinewine #santamariawine #travelcalifornia https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOALICDlc1/?igshid=1oexv66wvs7ky

We visited Presqu’ile winery in the Santa Maria Valley of CA last fall. This tasting room is stunning. Presqu’ile winery is dedicated to making exceptional cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The Murphy family bought an unplanted 200-acre property in the hills of the Santa Maria Valley. It took them two years to plant vines to maximize the diversity of row directions, spacing, clones, and rootstocks. We tasted a few wines in the tasting room and then took a tour of the winery and grounds. Because the winery sits high atop a hill, with the ocean and vineyard as backdrops, the views from the terrace were spectacular. If you love architecture, you will enjoy visiting Presqu’ile. The space is modern with gorgeous vaulted ceilings but also blends well into the hilltop it calls home. @presquilewine #SantaMariaStyle #SantaMariaValley @santamariavalley @santamariachamber #slocounty #winecountry #californiawine #californiaroadtrip #usaroadtrip #roadtripping #winetravel #winetasting🍷 #travelwithus #retireearlyandtravel #retireearly #earlyretirement #firemovement #wineenthusiast #winelovers🍷 #wineloversclub #lovewine #californiatrip #experiences #centralcalifornia #visitcalifornia #californiadreaming #lovecalifornia #winewinewine #wineries #travelcalifornia #santamariawine #santamariaca https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGVLK0De7W/?igshid=mdelui41gi2x
