Imaginez Malibu, Los Angeles, Orange County et San Diego, et voici exactement ce que vous voyez : ciel bleu, surf, soleil – peut-être même une ou deux vedettes de cinéma. Les étoiles que constituent les vins du sud de la Californie partagent le ciel bleu et le soleil avec nos célèbres plages, mais le style de vie est plus serein, avec les vignobles tranquilles nichés dans les vallées et les contreforts ondulés. Imaginez : un vignoble de San Diego cultive son cépage Cabernet Sauvignon à 1300 mètres (4400 pieds) au-dessus du niveau de la mer; il s’agit du vignoble le plus élevé en altitude en Californie.
Details: Be a Winemaker for a day! This is a spirited competition and winners get bragging rights for a year! Have you ever dreamed about making your own wine? AVV's Annual Spring Bash is your chance to join a team, sample components and then create a blend. Winemaker Kevin Hall will lead you through the process, then select the top blend. The winning team’s name will be featured on the next vintage of our Wine Club Reserve and each member of the team will receive a magnum of Sin Zin. The blending competition is followed by a gourmet luncheon on the Wetzel Family garden patio. This is a fun, yet educational wine event.
