This project all began with a book idea, and one of the first vintner to respond and take the time to meet with me was Josh Klapper. He started making wine under the La Fenetre label in 2005 and has been building a very solid lineup of wines. La Fenetre is french for the window and Josh believes that artistic expression is the window to a person's soul. Winemaking is his art and his window and a great reason to raise another glass.
While working as a Sommelier, Josh was exposed to many great Central Coast wines and decided that it was time to make the move from selling wine to making wine. Following the tradition of a Burgundian Negociant, La Fenetre wine grapes are sourced from only the choicest vineyards in and around Santa Barbara County. By working with great sites and buying only the highest quality fruit Josh is able to craft wines that are pure and seamless. His goal is to maintain balance and always present a wine that will pair well with food.
