Holus Bolus & The Joy Fantastic

“We aren’t trendy — that’s not what we do. We work with time-honored noble varieties and we strive to produce wines that are elegant, restrained and provide a sense of refreshment.”

” When researching this trip to Los Olivos, I stumbled upon their website and read about Peter and Amy the husband and wife owners and winemakers. Being a life long Prince fan, seeing “The Joy Fantastic” in their name had my ears perked. Reading more, I discovered he’s a Greatful Dead fan and she is the Prince fan. When I strolled into the tasting room, especially during harvest, I didn’t expect either of them to be pouring. However, as a true boutique brand, these two do EVERYTHING. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by Amy when I entered the tasting room. I was a bit like an excited puppy because I coudln’t wait to swap Prince stories and favorite songs. I was also excited to talk to her about wine geek stuff as her wine CV is nothing to sneeze at. As I expected, the wine was precise and scientific while having a healthy dose of artistic flare. This is all yummy, minimum intervention goodness at this stop. I’m a fan.”
