Sandhi Wines
About
Rajat Parr (former wine director at Michael Mina) and winemaker Sashi Moorman focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the exceptionally cool Sta. Rita Hills. Their wines are restrained, mineral, and Burgundian in character — a deliberate counterpoint to California's over-extracted, over-oaked mainstream. No tasting room hype, just serious wine.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
A famous sommelier's personal project making anti-Californian California wine — Burgundian Pinots and Chardonnays from the coolest corner of Santa Barbara.
