The wines from this event were picked out from the selection of fantastic wines at Rosso Wine Shop in
Glendale.  We actually did our tasting event there, and enjoyed a great cross-section of wines from all
over the state.  This seminar focused on various wine regions in the state, and the character each region
imparts to the varietal, as well as the wine.  The Voss and the Beckman were favorites.
