Graham Tatomer, the founder of Tatomer Winery, has been dedicated to crafting exceptional Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines in Santa Barbara County, California, since 2008. Despite the region s focus on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah, Tatomer has sought out the oldest Riesling plantings in the area, including those at Lafond Vineyard (1973) and Sisquoc Vineyard. Tatomer s passion for these varietals led him to the Wachau region of Austria, where he found mentorship and a second family with the Knolls at Weingut Knoll. This experience, combined with his work alongside Adam Tolmach of Ojai Vineyard, has shaped Tatomer s winemaking philosophy, resulting in wines that showcase the unique soils and climate of Santa Barbara while maintaining an Austrian pedigree. Tatomer s meticulous approach, including multiple passes at harvest and rigorous sorting, ensures the purity and singularity of his bottlings, which also include small quantities of delicate Pinot Noir.
