California’s wine industry is often oversimplified as consisting of powerful Cabernet and oak-driven Chardonnay—but there’s so much more to discover. Wine is art. Wine is fashion. It evolves and rollicks with cultural subcurrents, and California’s winemaking is in the midst of a 20-year revolution.
This tasting celebrates the bold, unconventional winemakers redefining the Golden State’s wine scene. From energetic, low-intervention reds to zippy, skin-contact whites, these wines tell a story of creativity and rebellion.
Join us for an evening of lesser-known grapes, unexpected blends, and wines that embrace wild fermentation and minimal intervention. Experience the elegance of lighter-bodied reds, and the textured allure of amber-hued wines. Each glass reflects the shifting tides of California’s wine culture—raw, fresh, and unrestrained.
Come discover the winemakers breaking free from convention, crafting bottles with soul and spontaneity. Let the new wave wash over you—one adventurous sip at a time.
