LOS OLIVOS, Calif. -  The Fess Parker Winery is pleased to celebrate its 30^th year in Santa Barbara County in 2019, a satisfying milestone for the family owned and operated business. In the years since its inception the winery has developed some of the finest vineyard sites in the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Ynez Valley and established itself as a brand popular with wine enthusiasts and critics alike.

Says winery President Tim Snider, "We mark this anniversary with equal parts pride and gratitude – pride for the quality we have achieved with our wines in national and international markets and gratitude for the opportunity to grow our business while remaining family held. By playing to our strengths and focusing on working with the Rhône and Burgundian varietals that grow so well here, hopefully we have set ourselves up well for the next 30 years. We are fortunate to have a tremendous winemaking team under the direction of Head Winemaker, Blair Fox, who celebrates his 15^th anniversary with the winery this year as well."

REVIEW – Madera’s Grocery Outlet on Cleveland Avenue has been open for the last four years but it is not the first time the discount chain has had a store in Madera. In the 90’s they were located in the space that today is home to the Planet Fitness Gym. These two stores couldn’t be further apart in comparisons. Grocery Outlet, which first opened in 1947 in the Bay area as “Cannery Sales”, used to be a place to buy government surplus, out of date food products, dented can or damaged box products, or just products that could no longer be sold in a traditional grocery store.

Today there is less out of date and damaged food and more discount, overstocked and closeout products from name brand and private label suppliers with brands that you may have never heard of before. The current Grocery Outlet has probably Madera’s largest selection of wine at a major discount over retail prices. The same large selection can be found in the deli area with a vast selection of cheeses and lunch meats. You won’t find a better price on milk, pasta, beans, rice or bread in town.
