Hi, I’m Kimberle, and I’m thrilled to have you here.

Southern Sunshine & Wine was born from my passion for sharing the exceptional wines I love, along with the stories that make them special. Growing up in Southern California, I spent countless hours exploring the Santa Barbara County wine country—a place that holds a special place in my heart. I’ve noticed that many people aren’t fully aware of the rich world of wine, and I’ve made it my mission to make wine more approachable and to educate others about this vast and fascinating industry. I’m a firm believer in supporting small producers who prioritize sustainability and doing things the right way. It’s not just better for us as consumers, but also for our planet and future generations.
