Family Winemakers of California Tasting in San Diego is TODAY!

The best perk of working in the wine industry? Tastings!

I love being in a room full of people who share my passion for wine. And it is not often that you get the opportunity to meet so many winemakers face to face!

If you live in Southern California and have no plans for this beautiful Sunday, the Family Winemakers of California are hosting their second tasting today in Del Mar, San Diego. I was lucky enough to attend the tasting in 2009 and had an amazing time. I encourage anyone who lives in the area to go. If you are busy today, there is a tasting in Pasadena coming up!

Dubbed “The San Diego ‘Tasting 2010’, this event is the region’s largest California wine tasting and is an excellent opportunity for wine buying trade and wine enthusiasts to taste and explore award-winning wines from some of California’s finest winemakers.

 

The event will be open to qualified members of the wine buying trade from 1:00-3:00 p.m. and will be open to both trade and general public from 3:00-6:00 p.m. Tickets for the general public are $45 in advance and $55 at the door. For those who would like to get a head start, a complete list of wineries is available on www.familywinemakers.org.

 

For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.familywinemakers.org. For any questions regarding “Tasting 2010,” contact tasting@familywinemakers.org. No one under 21, including infants, will be admitted to the tasting.

 

ABOUT THE FAMILY WINEMAKERS OF CALIFORNIA

 

Family Winemakers of California was established in 1991 in response to a need for public policy legislation for the small wine producers of California. The Association has become a strong force in the wine industry, lobbying for wine producer rights, and has an active membership of over 600 California wineries. Family Winemakers draws its membership from all the wine producing areas of the state, with the largest concentration coming from Napa and Sonoma Counties.

 

Family Winemakers trade tastings, held in San Francisco since 1991 and in Southern California since 2000, are well known in the industry for the quantity and quality of the participating wineries.  The tastings give members of the trade the opportunity to get to know wineries from all over the state, the well known and the unknown, the big and, especially, the small, all in one place at one time. Family Winemakers will follow the Del Mar event with its 11th annual trade only tasting in Pasadena on Tuesday, March 16. 

 

I would like to say thank you in advance to the sponsors of this wonderful event:Bremmer Biscuit, First Republic Bank, Golden State Overnight, StaVin, WW Shipping Solutions, Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, Nestle Water and Dining Out Magazine.

 

I hope to see you there.
