They have a setting that is at the same time tranquil and dramatic. As you arrive at the treelined property with its quaint old farmhouse, you can feel the breeze off the Pacific Ocean. The estate chardonnay and pinot vinerows run from a redwood grove to the edge of oaks that overlook the Monterey Bay. Sit at picnic benches beneath them to enjoy Jim and Judy Schultze’s Burgundy style pinot noirs and chardonnays that are made with half native yeast, always without fining or filtering and without the use of pumps, the better to preserve their naturally delicate character. The couple has recently added pinot gris and sauvignon blanc from Monterey, and an unoaked chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains to their portfolio of distinctive, nuanced pinots. Windy Oaks will be pouring the 2010 Estate Whole Cluster and the 2010 Estate Proprietor’s Reserve pinots at the Grand Cruz tasting at Pinot Paradise.

Visitors can sit at picnic tables and enjoy Jim and Judy Schultze’s Burgundy style pinot noirs and chardonnays at Windy Oaks Estate Vineyards and Winery. Spring/Summer 2014
