Culver City: Wolves Whiskey Sunday, May 25th San Francisco: Griffo Distillery Culver City: Superlative Spirits High Elevation, Deep Character: Friday, May 23rd  Tucked into the coastal ridgelines just south of San Francisco, the Santa Cruz Mountains wine region has been quietly producing distinctive, site-driven wines since the late 1800s. Defined by its rugged topography, marine influence, and patchwork of microclimates, the region is home to a fiercely independent community of growers and winemakers who prize character and place above all else. Many of the vineyards are dry farmed on steep slopes, with low yields and minimal intervention, revealing a raw and unfiltered expression of California terroir. Join us for a special tasting that uncovers the untamed spirit and deep-rooted history of one of California’s most compelling and under-the-radar wine regions.

California's Judgement of Paris Wineries: Where Are They Now? Saturday, May 24th  On May 24, 1976, a quiet blind tasting in Paris changed the course of wine history when California wines triumphed over their French counterparts, stunning the world. Nearly five decades later—on the very same date— we’re celebrating that revolutionary moment with a tasting that revisits the legacy of the domestic producers who helped define it: Chateau Montelena, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Heitz Cellar, Clos du Val, Chalone Vineyard, and Freemark Abbey. This is a rare chance to explore how these trailblazing wineries have evolved while staying true to the vineyard sites and philosophies that shaped their legacy. Join us as we honor a defining moment in American wine by tasting through its living history.
