“Garagiste Goes Local: The Rebirth of the LA Wine Industry”
Think great wine can’t come out of LA County? Think again. The California wine industry was born in Los Angeles in 1782 thanks to Spanish missionaries and vineyards were planted in Glendale (that’s right!) as early as 1784. Over a hundred and fifty years ago the region was home to one hundred vineyards with a flourishing local community that was the heart of the California wine business. It was even the place where Bordeaux vine cuttings were first planted! While urbanization has overtaken all of these original vineyards, the drive to regain world-renown for LA’s wine scene is on! The three winemakers on our panel are all-in, propeling the return of LA wineries (and vineyards) to prominence and striving to place this AVA back on the map as a must-visit wine region. Discover - and taste - the variety of quality wines hand-crafted right under your nose!
Panelists include: Jasper Dickson, Angeleno Wine Co,; Mark Blatty, Byron Blatty Wines; and Patrick Kelley, Cavaletti Vineyards.
*The seminar is only available as part of the Saturday VIP TICKET, which also includes a Wine Country Box Lunch and (1) hour early access to the Grand Tasting. ONLY 75 SEATS AVAILABLE Click below for tickets and more info!
