Episode 003: The Lure & Lore of Santa Cruz

While other parts of California's wine country have changed with the times, something about the Santa Cruz Mountains remains firmly rooted in the past—and it's not just the winemaking! Santa Cruz as a city has a lure and a lore that continues to captivate new generations while remaining faithful to the nostalgia of previous ones. It's a very special part of the state, devoid of pretense and full of humility, from the mountain vineyards down the Pacific Coast Highway through Steinbeck Country. K&L Domestic Wine Buyer Ryan Woodhouse joins us to discuss the history of Santa Cruz's winemaking culture and what makes the coastal city his favorite place in the world.
