Clendenen was one of a handful of the most important winemakers in the history of Santa Barbara County wines

Jim Clendenen, who brought a love of Burgundy to his groundbreaking Santa Barbara winery Au Bon Climat and helped put the region on the world winemaking stage, died in his sleep the night of May 15 at his home in the Los Alamos district near the town of Buellton, Calif. He was 68.
Clendenen was a tireless proponent and guiding light for Santa Barbara wines from his base in the cool-climate Santa Maria Valley in the northern reaches of the county. His Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from a variety of vineyard sources helped set the quality bar high for the region’s wines. He was also a frequent traveler to restaurants and wineries throughout the world, spreading the gospel of Santa Barbara wines and Burgundian varietals in California.

that's sad.
the first time i had ABC Chard was at the Bourbon Boudin and Beer festival many years ago. for some reason it had a huge table with ABC chard on it next to a leg of prosciutto and no one was interested in that part of the festival.
i spent half of the night drinking glasses and eating slices of cured ham.
it was awesome.
RIP

Very similar memory.
For many years, maybe every year but memory fuzzy, Jim would be there and just a fun guy to chat with.
