Seventh Annual Catalina Wine Mixer

Why it’s only the biggest helicopter leasing event in the western hemisphere since 1997! Just Kidding. If you haven’t seen the movie Step Brothers (2008) then you probably aren’t getting the joke. Anyway ... in the film there is a scene where our main characters are at an event called the Catalina Wine Mixer. It is at a very pivotal part of the film and pretty damned funny. A few years back, 7 to be exact, we thought it would be fun to havve our own Catalina Wine Mixer and the rest is history. So whether you have seen this classic film or not, the result is the same. Come out to the Tangled Wood with your friends, sample some wine, relax and enjoy yourself. If you haven’t seen the film, don’t worry, we are showing it on our GIANT OUTDOOR TV!

Note: This film is rated R and contains some pretty salty language. Just keep that in mind when debating about whether or now to get a baby sitter. Also, the wine a tasting is a 21 and over event so, yeah, get that baby sitter, leve the kids at home and tell the sitter you will be home late.
