Event
TAPAS Grand Wine Tasting
Join us for the sixth annual Grand Tasting of the Tempranillo Advocates, Producers and Amigos Society - the most extensive tasting of American-grown Tempranillos, Albariños, and much, much more. Nearly 40 cutting-edge wineries will descend upon San Francisco to share their passion and delicious wines. The event features many limited-production, family-owned wineries pouring small-lot wines that are not widely distributed. The casual setting allows guests to chat with the winemakers and growers, and the wines will be available for purchase.
This year's event takes place in the beautiful Golden Gate Club at the Presidio.
Don't miss out on the Kickoff Seminars
11:00 am - "Arizona - Growing Spanish Varieties in the American Southwest" This provocative seminar will be moderated by Peter Eastlake, a Food & Wine Magazine Sommelier of the Year for 2013, and will feature Arizona's pioneering winemakers including Maynard James Keenan of Caduceus Cellars, Tim White of Arizona Stronghold, Todd Bostock of Dos Cabezas WineWorks, and Kent Callaghan of Callaghan Vineyards.
12:00 noon - "Defining American Tempranillo" For the past 15 years some of the West's leading winemakers have explored the charm and mystery of Spain's noble grape. Join Markus Bokisch of Bokisch Vineyards, Matt Hughes of Six Sigma Winery, Andrew Wenzl of Abacela, and Louisa Sawyer-Lindquist of Verdad Wine Cellars as they share their passion and exquisite Tempranillo wines. The session will be hosted by Richard Jennings of RJonWine.com.
Kickoff Seminar tickets include early admission (1:00 pm) to the Grand Wine Tasting during the trade hours. Space is Limited.
