This tasting focused on the diverse range of high quality wines produced within
California. It was also filmed for an independent public television concept. I discussed
how to taste wines, reviewed the many types of wines produced in California, and the
regions they are grown in. This was a fun and intimate tasting with just the host,
cameraman, and myself! All of the whites were excellent and full of character, and the
Alma Rosa really showed the best amongst the reds.
