2024 Farm Cottage Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

Two days ago, I threw a party with Rec League (lucky me I know!). I got to curate the wine selections and decided I wanted to pour all my favorite California producers.

Farm Cottage, an amazing wine label by Ryan Alfaro, instantly came to mind. Ryan grew up on his family's vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains and still works for his family's winery as the head winemaker. His personal label Farm Cottage is beautiful and a perfect expression of cold climate CA wines. He makes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Cab Sauv. If you have a chance to try his wines, truly any of them, I couldn't recommend enough!!
