Inside Wine - Santa Barbara wine tasting group

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/0/1/6/event_158120502.jpegWelcome to Inside Wine - Santa Barbara! We are two women passionate about wine and food, both working in the wine business. Our new wine tasting group will feature tastings where winemakers and wine experts will give you the "inside scoop" on viniculture, viticulture, wine-food pairing and wine appreciation. We live in one of the top wine producing regions in the world--come and celebrate it with us!

Our first meetup will be a social to meet each other and sip some delicious varietals. Our subsequent meetings will feature a wine industry insider with a short talk about the featured winery or region. We're just getting started, but the schedule will fill in quickly. We already have half a dozen wineries lined up--details to follow when the dates are set. Look at our calendar for the December 13th meetup at the beautiful Sunstone Winery.
