    Stirm Stirm Wine Winery Video
    Ryan Stirm cultivated his passion and skill working at renowned estates in California and Austria - Tyler and Grant Tatomer (Santa Barbara) and Weingut Tegernseerhof (Wachau). He farms all of his vineyards himself (with the exception of the historic Wirz vineyard), all of which are dry farmed and without chemicals. Harvest is always done by hand, fermentations are always native yeast, and all wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal to no sulphur. In addition to Riesling, Ryan farms Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon in the Santa Cruz mountains and is also concentrated on working with some of the state’s historic vineyards, such as the Enz and Wirz vineyards and historic or native grape varieties such as Mission, Pais and Rosa de Peru. His reds are all aged in old American redwood, which lends an old school character and elegant rusticity, making his wines unmistakably classically Californian. Ryan’s goal of keeping alcohol levels in check and highlighting the fruit’s natural acidity makes the wines incredibly food friendly and approachable.

    Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.

    Central Coast, California

    With a dry and mild climate cooled significantly by moist ocean fog and breezes, Santa Barbara County is a grape-grower’s dream. Part of the larger Central Coast appellation, Santa Barbara is home to Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley. The conditions here provide an opportunity for nearly effortless production of high-quality cool-climate Central Coast wines. This is also the site of the 2004 film Sideways, which caused Pinot Noir’s popularity to skyrocket and brought new acclaim to the region.

    Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the stars of Santa Barbara, producing wines marked by racy acidity. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc and savory Syrah are also important. The region is home to many young and enthusiastic winemakers eager to experiment with less common varieties including Chenin Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Trousseau Gris, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, making it an exciting area to watch.
