The Block at Woods Hill is hosting Master Winemaker Bob Lindquist and Louisa Sawyer Lindquist of Lindquist Family Wines for a very special evening. This is a rare chance to meet two California visionaries, enjoy their wines alongside an exceptional five course tasting menu from The Block’s Executive Chef Charlie Foster and Chef de Cuisine Jeff Messier.

Bob helped put Santa Barbara County on the wine map, founding Qupé in 1982 and championing Rhône varietals like Syrah, Grenache, and Marsanne on the Central Coast. His elegant, age-worthy wines and commitment to cool-climate, Old World–inspired winemaking earned him recognition as an original “Rhône Ranger.” Louisa leads biodynamic farming at Verdad, crafting terroir-driven wines from Spanish varieties.
