Satellite

You can find great wine in many of Santa Barbara’s tasting rooms, but if all you want to drink is pet-nats, head to Satellite on Upper State Street. Even if you know next to nothing about wine, this natural wine bar has a tightly curated wine list and a staff skilled at helping you find something exciting within any budget. Bottles line the walls behind the bar, and most of the glasses cost around $15. The huge sidewalk patio is where to snack on a panzanella salad or a cheese plate while watching the parade of adorable dogs strutting down the street like they own it.
