“We had the opportunity to visit Grimm's Bluff and were blown away. We loved the private vineyard tour. The grounds were beautiful and we learned so much from Ashlyn as she introduced us to the property. The wine is STUNNING - unique and delicious, and different from SY valley. Ashlyn was a wonderful host and we can't wait to come back.”

“my very favorite place to drink wine. I've been coming here for well over 10 years and always look forward to coming back. It is by far the most relaxing place to just be. We have been members for most of those years and love their wine.”

“We had the best Wine Tasting experience ever. The place and vibe are just perfect for friends and family. One thing that is truly remarkable here is their service. I can feel the warmth and hospitality of the owner who is truly kind. I would definitely come back and recommend this winery. Kudos!”

“It takes a winemaker with true soul to bring the combination of soil, climate, environment, and technology into each release. At Tensley, each bottle holds a narrative of the place from whence it came. I had heard of Tensely--through the grapevine, so to speak--when professing my love for syrahs. My expectations were high. My experience in the tasting room broke free of those preconceived notions to reach new dimensions.
In the Los Olivos tasting room, we were greeted with a smile and an array of bottles. The flagship Colson Canyon offered dark cassis berries and savory olive tapenade on the tongue, with enough hidden spice elements to keep you wondering what will open up in the next sip. Little did I know that winemaker Joey Tensley made more syrahs from the Santa Maria Valley AVA than I had ever dreamed possible. Santa Barbara County is almost an Eden lost and found in terms of its viticulture, with a vast array of microclimates that are suited to hundreds of different varietals. Even more so, the grapes from each particular place hold their own enchanting essence. Each unique offering brought its own balance of sweetness and solidity to the table. From the SBC blend to the vineyard-designated Thompson, all were fit for a king.
Since that tentative first taste of Tensley, I've had the pleasure of meeting multiple members of their winemaking family. Amanda does a fantastic job of running operations in the city of angels (shout-out for introducing me to these fine wines!), just as Sabrina creates a welcoming environment in the LA getaway of Los Olivos. They speak of their coworkers with a heartwarming level of trust and affection that brings out the best in those who are listening. You'll leave the tasting room not only looking forward to the fruits of their labor, but also wanting to be part of their family-fueled collaboration.”

“Lovely coffee shack named after legendary Lefty Frizzell, the first country singer to get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. He was a big influence on names like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Check out his song “Cigarette and Coffee Blues” while you drink your coffee here. ☕️”

“We had a delicious pizza very good, oh, and the wine was superb!”

“Great food great service!!”

“Before we even started tasting, the owner came by with a bottle in his hand and gave us a free pour from his personal bottle. I was already sold at this point, but the wine happens to be top notch as well. Honestly some of the best stuff around here. The whites and reds were incredible, we bought 3 bottles.”

“Great wine, great cupcakes, great staff!”

“Perfect stop on shot afternoon for that cold beer”
