Go beyond the Cabernet, and experience some of California's lesser-known wine varietals!
About this Event

Join us for an educational tasting with Kimberlee (a sommelier!) from VineJoy Wines as we taste through varietals not normally grown in (or associated with) California. Everyone knows Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet are the main grapes successfully grown in California, but we’re going to explore some unusual varietals that have made their way to California! Get ready to try varietals such as Aligoté, Grüner Veltliner, Carignan, Pinot Meunier, and more!


RSVP required. $25/per person, or $20 for Members
