Metrick

Hi Berserkers!


Just use code at checkout at www.metrickwines.com.
No minimum order, etc.

From cool climate Santa Barbara County (Santa Maria Valley, Sta. Rita Hills, Los Olivos…), a region which Antonio Galloni (Vinous) recently said has had “a string of superb vintages…Santa Barbara remains very much undiscovered by the broader population. That happens to be great news for savvy consumers…”

Familiar grapes (Pinot, Chard, Cab Franc) and rare (Mencia, Mourvedre, Albariño) Fresh and elegant, low intervention or natural (and clean!) and made in small quantities. More info on each wine the Metrick Online Wine Shop.

We can ship everywhere EXCEPT: AL, DE, KY, MS, NH, ND, OK, SD and UT.

I haven’t had these wines before, so if anyone who has can comment that would be great.
The regions that the Pinots and the Chard come from are some of our favorites for those varietals.
Shoot - I would pass on Russian River in 1/10 of a second compared to Santa Rita Hills

Have to wait until Thursday, but any information would be so helpful.

They are beyond epic. So well made. You will not be disappointed. This is the sleeper label of the region, kind of IYKYK label.

Excited to order these tomorrow!

I’ve had the Cab Franc and Albariño and they are straight up delicious. You’ll be very happy when you try them😀

I am a big Mencia fan so I just ordered some.
Looking forward to trying these wines!

In for a mixed case! Love the varietals on offer and winemaking principles

California Mencia? Gotta try it.

Order in for 6 bottles - sending an email - somehow an extra zip code got added to my order and it was too late to correct.

In for a mixed 6!

I got to the payment screen and the secure payment form has gray bars moving across each box. I am not able to enter anything.

changed browsers and got it to work… nvm! in for 6!

Boom! 18 bottles… super excited to try your stuff. Friends in SB have been talking about it for a while. Now that my order is placed i feel ok sharing some reviews

Thank you! I’ll keep an eye out to make sure I get it good on the shipment!

Thank you, Kareem!!!

Glad to hear it–thanks so much!

Thank you kindly!

Thank you! It’s been an exciting grape for me to work with.

Thanks for any reviews and info.
I will say, if DustyNabor says these are quality wines, I’m going to be in for couple of cases.
We love their wines as well and miss the Chard and Pinot this year.
Looks like Metrick is going to be darn nice replacement.
Now just have to coordinate with the wife as to how much.
She wants the Albarino (loves minerality styles vs floral).
Both of us love Chard and Pinot from these areas - can’t have enough of it.

Got your order–thanks so much, Pedro!
