ISO Wine Help - project due

[luvs]

i have a project for wine & spirits classs where i site at least 3 sources of info from different media on wines from santa barbara, california, & wanted to see if you guys have info to offer.
i'm basing my research on food/wine pairing.
thanks in advance!

You'll need to be more specific about what kind of information you need. Your request was very vague.

 

[luvs]

mainly, i wanted info on santa barbara wines & food pairing if you guys would so kindly offer it. i'll consult books, my textbook, & magazines, plus the liquor place manager for info, also. we present:

assigned region & where it is specifically located, name/title of sources + a typed bibliography, climate info & its effect on wines, soil & its effect, goegraphy/topography, wine hist., main grapes variety, a specific description of grape used inc. details & examples, name 3 wineries of that region, with an example of winemaker, yr. est., case production or vineyard sz., 25 words or more on a wine listed above, & something specific about wine (where i'd write about food pairing).

awesome, i answered several questions by calling santa barbara wineries.

 

[ChefJune]

sorry, I can't give you much help with Santa Barbara wineries, as I don't know too much about them, specifically.

The book "What to Drink with What You Eat," by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page would be a great place to look, however.

bumping thread; my project still needs some 'plumping'.

wait, i'm on a roll, now. my project needs 'fortified', like a lovely port.

 

[ChefJune]

can you let us know what your focus is, and what you are still looking for?

yeppers.
wine history for santa barbara wines, pinot noir & syrah grapes, we covered both in class, though, so i'll review my notes.
& mainly what pairs with a shiraz/shyrah or a pinot.

Have you checked out the book "What to Drink with What You Eat?" At least a gajillion questions like that are answered in there. They even differentiate between where the Syrah or Shiraz comes from and styles of Pinot Noirs, as well.
