After years as winemaker at Liquid Farm, James launched his own label in 2014 to highlight single-vineyard Grenache, Chardonnay, and other white and red varietals from Santa Barbara County. His wines are known for their precision, restraint, and unmistakable California soul.James started life as a Mormon. In 2009, having already left the religion, James’s brother-in-law brought him to California’s Santa Ynez Valley; a move which would kick-start his career path in Santa Barbara Wine Country.Originally assistant winemaker for Santa Barbara County label Dragonette Cellars, James left Dragonette to join Liquid Farm as the boutique label’s very first, dedicated winemaker. James transitioned over to Liquid Farm at the start of harvest 2013, and continues to make Liquid Farm’s variety of wines (now five+ Chardonnays, a Rosé of Mourvèdre, and multiple Pinot Noirs) in addition to Kings Carey Wines.James’s work ethic and attention to detail, including his {annoying} fastidiousness and penchant for cleanliness in the winery, allow his wines to speak for themselves…simply put, they undergo fewer manipulations which are often due to necessary fixes or corrections in the winemaking process. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/marina-del-rey/six-wine-tasting-with-winemaker-james-sparks-of-king’s-carey/100001849683726819 - **Event Categories**: food-drinks, wine-tasting - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 45, max: 45, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Marina del Rey - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Stoa Wine Bar & Market - **lat**: 33.9787272 - **long**: -118.4579043 - **full address**: Stoa Wine Bar & Market, 4210 Via Marina, Marina del Rey, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Six Wine Tasting with Winemaker James Sparks of King’s Carey - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f94917ea40f498028218d18250396376936fd4e94b11bbc554e5a87153a7741c-rimg-w700-h466-dcd8d8d9-gmir.jpg?v=1761482748 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Six Wine Tasting with Winemaker James Sparks of King’s Carey being held? - **A:** Six Wine Tasting with Winemaker James Sparks of King’s Carey takes place on Tue, 04 Nov, 2025 at 04:30 pm to Tue, 04 Nov, 2025 at 06:00 pm at Stoa Wine Bar & Market, 4210 Via Marina, Marina del Rey, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Six Wine Tasting with Winemaker James Sparks of King’s Carey? - **A:** Six Wine Tasting with Winemaker James Sparks of King’s Carey is organized by Stoa Wine Bar & Market. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
