Whitcraft Winery

Apr 5th, 2023

The best wine producer in SB hands down. Drake and Bacon's work speaks for itself. Can't recommend highly enough. I get excited every time I open a bottle. Keep up the stellar work gentleman!

Great wine that's been around for a long time, only had it in a restaurant and I was hooked! Their Pinot Noir is superb

I felt the need to write a review after my experience, especially after reading some negative ones here.  1. I think it's important to understand that Whitcraft is basically a 2 man operation.  It's the owner and his right hand man, Chris P. Bacon.  Yes, that's his real name.  Because it's a 2 man operation, that's probably what's leading to a lack of tasting times, call backs, etc.  That's not an excuse, that's something that they should definitely work on and improve.  I got lucky and was able to schedule a last minute tasting.2. For those of you complaining about the location and feeling unsafe.  Stop it.  Really, just stop it.  Someone else on here said something like "your privilege is showing."  Yeah, what he said.3. The wines.  I'm no somm, but I'm confident enough in my appreciation for pinots.  Their wines are up there with anything else you can get in SB County.  Their old-world style with whole clusters, etc. really adds a complexity to their wines that is hard to match.  I haven't tasted everywhere, but I know my way around Samford, ABC, Dragonette, Liquid Farm, Melville, Sea Smoke etc.  I love them all.  Whitcraft belongs in their company IMHO.  They do require a certain mood, which is probably why I will ONLY share these bottles with friends who really appreciate pinots.  I won't waste these on my Cab friends.
