Wow what a crazy year this has been for hosting events. And even though a lot of wineries are starting to open and some people are doing small events in person; I’m still taking up the social distancing precautions and staying at home as much as possible. That is unless I have to take my boy Archie (my doodle) to the dog park, and beach or if I need to make a quick trip to the market for some grocery shopping. I’m starting to feel like this is my new normal, and going 100% virtual is starting to feel really good for me. And even though it was a little hard doing virtual events in the beginning, I’ve found that after doing several of them recently I’ve started to like them. And on the upside I’m able to connect with a lot more people then I normally would if I were doing an in person event.
This section is to keep you informed of my LIVE wine tastings on social media and other important events that come up related to the wine industry, from interviews, bottle wine tastings, educational wine videos, etc.
You are personality invited to join me to these awesome events and taste wine with me.

I’m pleased and very excited about this and It’s something you just can’t miss out on. “Building a diverse industry & Exploring Livermore Wineries” Interview with winemaker and founder Phil Long from Longevity Wines @longevity_wines and also President of the African American Association vintners. We will have a discussion about his own winery, his involvement in AAAV, Livermore Valley as a region and it’s Wineries.
