What do you think of when you think of California wine? Freshness? Vibrancy? (Relative) affordability? No? Well, you should! Come taste with us some of the new California wines that are now coming out of the leading wine state in the US. These are an example when a greater trend of food-friendly, young winemakers and natural winemaking practices come together. We've featured a few of these selections in our past wine club and the response has been fantastic. No extraction or big oak bombs here - instead expect nuance, complexity and sense of place to shine through.

Jesse Hufstader Indie Wineries Domestic Portfolio Manager will be on hand to show off these beauties, join us.
