But he relates winemaking to food, inspired by his Berkeley days – cooking low and slow, keeping things pure and simple from farm to table -- in his own red sauce and now, in his wines, from vineyard to glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe launched The Central Coast Group Project (CCGP) in 2012, an inclusive name that reflects how Scott sees the process of farming and harvesting the grapes, to making and then drinking the wine, as true collective involvement.  His website states, \"Members of our (CCGP) Group include (in no particular order) friends, family, financiers, vineyard owners \u0026amp; managers, field workers, truck drivers, scientists, philosophers, the history of wine \u0026amp; winemakers, artists, chefs, sommeliers, bottle shops, and you.\"  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScott's winemaking, which blends the anti-establishment ethos of punk rock with old-school techniques from classic regions such as Barolo, is about measured risk, and pushing boundaries without veering into weird territory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe takes this experimentation to the next level with Scotty-Boy! fine wines \u0026amp; super coolers, the natty offshoot of CCGP whose mantra is \"nothing added\/nothing taken away”. It's all about transparency – no inoculations, no additions, no added sulfur, native fermentations, always bottled unfined and unfiltered, with the grapes being the focus: they source only from small family owned vineyards, farmed at the very least without chemical spraying, if not organically and\/or biodynamically; and are only harvested by hand.  Whereas Scott's CCGP wines are bigger, bolder and more ageable, Scotty Boy! bottles are fresh and young, meant to be drunk sooner rather than later with a good chill. We first discovered this wine at our favorite pie shop Full of Life Flatbreads in our favorite central coast town Los Alamos.  It blew our minds, and we immediately reached out to Scott to get some for Rock Juice.  It smells fresh and playful, lemon gummy bears and summery peaches.  Gummy bear and peach continues on the palate, infusing Orangina with lemony tartness that gets softened by fuzzy white peach.  You get body from the skins, but not drying tannins -- juicy and approachable, it's an easy orange wine for all of the people.  And WE the people can't get enough!\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67774478450967,"sku":"sgs1792016809806","price":22.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/6690\/8695\/files\/2021-scotty-boy-buellklong_1.jpg?v=1792016816","url":"https:\/\/debclubcladfit.shop\/products\/2021-scotty-boy-buellklong","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
