Etienne Terlinden's Wines

We were able to do so many things when we were in California. After meeting Bob Hurlbett in Santa Barbara at the Boathouse, we went down the road a bit to a small town called Summerland where there was a tasting room featuring Etienne Terlinden's Wines. Bob is making wine with Etienne so he urged us to go there to do a tasting. The server was named Michelle and although she said that she had only been with Summerland Winery for a week, she was very knowledgeable about the wines. We liked the Pinot blanc and the Trio and bought those bottles to take home with us to Connecticut. I liked the Pinot blanc because it had some good acidity. The Trio was a well made blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.
