"We Are All Connected" - Future Perfect | Tasting with Sunny Doench Stricker at Diamond Sky Ranch

May 15, 2024

Join Sunny Doench Stricker, the passionate owner and winemaker of Future Perfect Wines, as she takes us on an intimate tour through her thoughtfully crafted wine portfolio. Discover the unique terroir of Santa Barbara County and how it inspires Sunny's winemaking approach, focused on Old World-style balance and drinkability.

From the crisp, tropical-tinged Sauvignon Blanc to the captivating dry Riesling, Sunny showcases her skill in coaxing vibrant acidity and elegance from California's warm climate. Marvel at the stunning transparency and food-friendliness of her Grenache rosé and Pinot Noir, then delve into the savory, layered complexity of her cooler-climate Syrah.

Throughout the tasting, Sunny shares her personal journey from Ohio to Hollywood, eventually landing in the vineyards of Santa Barbara. Her infectious enthusiasm and dedication to making wines that can be enjoyed as part of a lifestyle will inspire you to explore the world of Future Perfect Wines.

This video offers an engaging and insightful glimpse into the passion, artistry, and unique perspective that Sunny brings to her Future Perfect wines.
