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\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHis launched The Central Coast Group Project – easier to call it 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.\"  Love this.  \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\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv 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 ageable, Scotty Boy! bottles are fresh and young, meant to be drunk sooner rather than later, always with a good chill.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'El Sandweeech!' is a carbonic co-fement of pristine, organic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, turning these classic varietals upside down.  It smells like spicy cinnamon cherry juice, but in the glass it's like liquid Red Hots.  Juicy, plush tannins, extreme cinnamon spice, it's not your daddy's Pinot or Chard, but it never feels weird or mousy -- just pure, happy juice that we could sip all day long.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSERVE SLIGHTLY CHILLED.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67774478549271,"sku":"dcm1792016812262","price":18.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/6690\/8695\/files\/2021-scotty-boy-el-sandweech_1.jpg?v=1792016818","url":"https:\/\/debclubcladfit.shop\/products\/2021-scotty-boy-el-sandweech","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
