• Beginning the Day the Rusack Way

  

  What better way to begin a Saturday in January than in beautiful Ballard Canyon, Santa Barbara County, California. It was the perfect start to a three day wine tasting excursion in SBCounty. Steven Gerbac of Rusack Winery was gracious enough to meet us early on Saturday morning after a flight delay and traffic delay on […]
