Editor’s Note
Silver Linings Playbook seek the silver linings in darkened clouds, and I am no different. Over the past few months, so many 805-area business owners have shared their own unique pandemic-related challenges, and I have been uplifted to hear how innovative and nimble they’ve become in the face of such adversity. As a small-business owner myself, I also have tales attesting to the difficulty of financially and logistically navigating through this surreal period of history. Without a doubt, I feel so thankful for having an incredibly talented team working with me, each of us grateful in turn for the support of loyal advertisers and readers. Naturally, family and friends—even when we’re apart from one another—continue to prove vital for undergoing any endeavor. I recognize both the importance of our social fellowship and that my position comes with a unique platform that reaches so many people throughout Central California. In addition to the editorial feature stories we’ve always offered, I’ve been so happy to help spread the word about our advertisers and their services, extending our support with regular announcements across each of our platforms. We’ve been busy producing our summer issue, which I am excited to report will be released in mid-July. I’m proud of the issue and hope it serves as something like a silver lining to these darker days of uncertainty. In the meantime, as a way of giving thanks to our advertisers that helped make it possible, the 805 Living team put together this special 805 Strong digital advertising supplement. I encourage you to take some time to peruse the following pages, read the messages of gratitude and support, and then patronize these companies—and all of our locally owned businesses— whenever possible. It really will help us all. Stay safe and as always, stay 805 Strong.

LOVE WINE? JOIN THE CLUB. An esteemed Central Coast family’s wine club delivers world-class wines to your doorstep.
Jonathan Nagy enjoys time among the vines with his wife, Clarissa.
Q&A WITH JONATHAN NAGY Director of Winemaking
What is the concept for the wine club? To connect the Miller family’s history and the wines they create with the people who continually reach for them.
S
ince 1871, the Miller family has farmed and ranched the fertile lands of the Central Coast. Currently in its fifth generation, the family-run business continues its commitment to maintaining sustainable vineyards and producing premium-quality wines. And to the delight of oenophiles throughout the 805, the Miller Family Wine Company has recently launched a monthly wine club that represents one of the absolute best values in subscription wine services. The Miller Family Wine Club (millerfamilywineclub.com) provides members three bottles of carefully curated wine each month, with each selection perfectly paired to the season in which it arrives. At just $39.95 a month (shipping included), the club offers an exciting opportunity to sample a collection of worldclass wines at a remarkably reasonable price. Club members will also enjoy twenty percent off any additional purchases of Miller Family Wines, $10 flat-rate shipping for orders up to 12 bottles, as well as four complimentary tastings per year at the J. Wilkes tasting room in Santa Barbara. Drawing from the Miller family’s diverse portfolio of brands, the shipments deliver an eclectic array of themed varietals. July’s collection, titled “Celebrate Summer,” includes three whites well-suited to warm weather: Ballard Lane sauvignon blanc, Olelo chardonnay, and J. Wilkes pinot blanc. Future bundles will complement seasonal activities, highlight wine trends, provide pairings for regional cuisine, and much more.
What can you share about each of the Miller Family Wine brands and their respective wines? Smashberry offers unique blends of grapes sourced from the Paso Robles Highlands. The brand focuses on blending different varieties to produce wines that are fruit-forward and balanced. Ballard Lane focuses on the coastal appellations of the Central Coast to produce elegant sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, and zinfandel. Barrel Burner focuses on the enhanced oak expressions that can often
make wine complex and compelling. J. Wilkes focuses on small-lot, high-quality crafted wines from Santa Maria Valley and Paso Robles. Olelo features wines created by master sommelier Michael Jordan with an eye to his roots in Hawaii. The chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon are made in an “Island Style,” which means they pair well with fresh and light tropical and Asian cuisines. What is the vision for the wine club going forward? To continue to create exciting products under the diverse style of our brands with an eye toward evolving and growing as opportunities arise. The focus will always be family-owned vineyards that are sustainable and world-class.
To start enjoying curated selections of wine sent straight to your door for just $39.95 a month including shipping, visit millerfamilywineclub.com.
NOW OPEN FOR TASTINGS J. Wilkes tasting room is now open from12–7 pm daily. Enjoy the modern, industrial chic décor as well as wines by winemaker Jonathan Nagy.

oming over the San Marcos Pass, the first glimpse of Cachuma Lake and the vast Santa Ynez Valley beyond, checkered with small farms, horse ranches, vineyards, and wide-open vistas, never loses its appeal. Six unique small towns give the Valley its character, but the wine country lifestyle, easy living, and slow pace are the real draw. Visitors come from all over the world to taste wines that rival Napa’s at more than 200 wineries, many family-owned. They relish epicurean meals at convivial restaurants with celebrated, Michelin-recognized chefs, and they enjoy hospitable lodgings, with new world-class five-star brands on the horizon. Irresistibly drawn to this paradise of laidback luxury, some return to put down roots. Among them are extraordinary people who could live anywhere in the world. Patty Murphy understands the allure of this special place. She moved to the Santa Ynez Valley in 1979 after an international corporate career. She sought the equestrian lifestyle as well as the open space her young family could enjoy. She fell in love with the unchanging beauty of the land and has cherished the welcoming spirit of the residents who share her conservationist views and appreciation for this remarkable area. With a penchant for hard work, Patty began a career in luxury real estate that would take her to its highest echelons. People seek her out because of her knowledge, personal connections, and passion for the Valley, and she has forged lifelong relationships with many of her clients. With the real estate market in the Valley at its hottest ever, Patty has already sold 50 million dollars of properties this year and she has seen many of her global buyers switch their homes from part-time getaways to primary residences. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty and fascinating, cosmopolitan, down-toearth people, Patty is delighted to share the Santa Ynez lifestyle she loves every day.

THE CONCIERGE RECOMMENDS ”Westlake Village is second to none when it comes to hiking and mountain biking. The hotel is situated in close proximity to countless scenic trails perfect for all levels.
Malibu Creek State Park is a guest favorite. It offers stream-side trails through oak and sycamore woodlands and chaparralcovered slopes. For a leisurely afternoon with incredible views, I recommend a sunset hike in the Santa Monica Mountains complete with a seasonal picnic from Coin & Candor, our California Brasserie. Nothing compares to the blissful summer feeling of sipping on a crisp chardonnay while watching the sun dip into the sea.”
