“Tercero is the typical small, boutique story you’ll find in Santa Barbara County where the huge industrial brands are few and far between. Larry, owner/winemaker, seeks to explore his own palate and winemaking style with each vintage. He is not one to let grass grow under his winemaking feet. He is also a wonderful guide exploring his wines. He uses a great balance of high brow wine-speak-ease with casual chatter to make you feel relaxed and learning without actually putting on your pupil hat. He’s clever that way. Look forward to mostly Rhône varietals and a less obtrusive winemaking style. It’s a great stop.”
