The Wine Advocate 2015 reviews

California, Santa Barbara County: The Good News Keeps Coming This was another massive tasting with Ojai’s Adam Tolmach and assistant winemaker Fabien Castel.

Vinous – Anthony Galloni – August 2015

August 2015 Santa Barbara: On the road This is a strong set of wines from Adam Tolmach and Fabien Castel.

July 2013 Ojai Wines reviewed

This is a fabulous set of wines from Ojai. Proprietor & Winemaker Adam Tolmach hit the ball out of the park with a number of these new releases. Frankly, I am not sure where to start, as there are so many wines here that are worthy of serious consideration. Looking at the 2011 whites, they […]
