The Story: A few years ago, when it was abundantly clear that their original medical school plans had derailed due to gleeful entanglement in Santa Barbara’s wine industry, Kristin Harris and Nick Luis started pondering what meaningful role they could play in the business. So, they dropped out of med school and started making wine in 2018. Today, Cote of Paint remains a very small producer, crafting about 150 cases annually. That includes, depending on the vintage, pinot noir from Duvarita Vineyard, grenache from Christy & Wise, grüner veltliner and sangiovese from Cocquelicot, sauvignon blanc from Happy Canyon, and a rosé of grenache. Kristin is only the second black woman winemaker operating in Santa Barbara County, but recently located to the PNW, running back and forth to the winery in California. We’re thrilled to be among the first to feature her banging wines in Seattle.

Personality: This Grüner brings the bright, zesty vibes (think Persian lime and peak summer fruit) but with a little more to say. Thanks to barrel fermentation and 8 months in neutral French oak, it’s got some texture, grip, and just enough weight to make you think the flavors expanded.

Harmony: Think spice! Grüner Veltliner is crisp and a perfect palate cleanser for richly flavored foods finding glory with Asian spices. It also has a unique charm of standing up to challenging vegetable sides such as artichoke and grilled asparagus.
