She was taught to cook by her French mother and grandmother. Jaffurs Wine Cellars is dedicated to producing great Rhone varietal wines with a new-world independence. Our wines -Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre, Viognier, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc - are among the best in the county. Owner/winemaker Craig Jaffurs, produced his first professional wines during the 1994 harvest. All our wines are carefully made in small lots. Only about 5000 cases are produced each year - production is limited. We work closely with our growers in the Santa Ynez, Ballard Canyon, Santa Rita, Los Alamos, and Santa Maria growing regions. We limit vineyard yields and require that optimal farming practices are observed. All our wines are crushed, pressed, cellared and bottled in our Santa Barbara facility. Visit us for a glimpse of world class winemaking in the heart of the city. 2013 was our 20th harvest!
