Visiting Santa Barbara in early February and as much as I would love to drop in on SQN, Andremily, I am looking for a few suggestions/less known gems to visit?

I’ve heard good things about the Third Twin and Domaine de la Cote.

These are not generally unknown. but I would suggest Brewer-Clifton, Stolpman, Qupe, Brander, Margerum, Sea Smoke and perhaps Star Lane, Lafond, Santa Barbara Winery, Fess Parker, Gainey, Sanford, Zaca Mesa, Sunstone, Dragonette and Fiddlestix. Maybe Firestone for the Riesling.

I have enjoyed wines from all of the above, but have visited only about half. If I were you i would do some research before going.
,

Happy tasting!

Perhaps worth subscribing to Vinous Media. They did a whole article on Santa Barbara a month ago. Can’t post the contents here, though, due to copyright so you can only access it by subscription.

On the internet, looking up "Wines of Santa Barbara County" seemed to provide useful information (some of it free) under e.g. "https://sbcountwines.com" and "https://sbcountywines.com/wine/wineries".
