This event is one of the best wine tasting events that I attend every year. 45 wineries were represented and a total of 137 wines.
Now there is no way anyone can taste 137 wines in 3 hours. So you just pick and choose.
If you are a cab lover this was the place for you. 42 Cabernet Sauvignon's were poured. Some of the ones that I liked were, Arns, August Briggs, William Cole, Karl Lawrence, Miner , Robert Craig and O'Shaughnessy.
Among the other varietals presented I liked the, Capiaux Pisoni Pinot, Robert Keenan "Mernet", Krupp Brothers "The Doctor", Miner Family "The Oracle", Niner Wine Estates "Fog Catcher" and the Kenneth Volk "Sierra Madre" Pinot.
Bristol Farms put out the food but we had stopped for brunch earlier at The Warehouse in Marina Del Rey, so I did not avail myself of the goodies. The brunch was good and we sat oustide next to the marina as the day was sunny and a perfect Southern California Sunday.
This event is well worth the $75 admission and since it is a fund raiser for LMU scholarship fund a partial tax deduction is given. The event is held every February, usually the week after Super Bowl. Toward the end of the year you can access the website at www.lmu.edu, and click on events for the information.
