January 9 marks eight years since the debris flow that forever changed our community and took 23 lives.

Tonight, as light rises into the sky, we remember, honor, and hold space together.

After the lighting, our doors at Montecito Gourmet will be open for a quiet gathering. Please join us and take a moment for community, reflection, and connection.

We’re beyond honored to share this message from our dear friend, legendary Beach Boy, Bruce Johnston. 🌊🎶
Bruce has been part of our family’s story for decades. He was a dear friend of our founder John Braid, and someone who’s known Patrick since he was just a kid. Hearing his kind words about our wines and restaurant means the world to us. 🍷✨
From sharing music history to sharing a glass of wine, we’re deeply grateful for the memories, the support, and the reminder that community and craftsmanship never go out of style.

🎵 “Wouldn’t It Be Nice…” to enjoy great wine with great friends. 🍷
