One of our favorite ways to taste new wines is by lining them up in a Wine Flight. Most of the fun of drinking wine comes from comparing it to others and talking about it. Pierre Lafond Wine Bistro has a menu full of Wine Flights to enjoy in house over Bistro fare and good company.
WINE FLIGHTS
Our unique flights include 3 ounces of each wine listed and are intended
to give you the opportunity to experience wines from outstanding
growing areas in the world and different winemaking styles.

Although 2010 is only a little over a week away it feels like an eternity with all of the ongoings wrapping up 2009. The Wine Bistro’s next Passport to the World of Wine will be held on January 6, and will focus on Bordeaux blends from all over the world (wines that have their origins in the Bordeaux region of France). Santa Barbara recently announced a new appellation in the county that is focused around growing Bordeaux varietals. Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara is a warmer inland appellation in the Santa Ynez Valley than, for example, the Sta. Rita Hills where Lafond Vineyard is located. Because of its location, varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc flourish, while in the Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (Burgundian varietals) are king.
