They sold all their grapes to a select few Sonoma-based wineries for the next 20 years. Finally\, in 2018\, they created their own label and La Cienega Vineyard was born.

SUMMARY:Grassini Family Vineyards & Winery Wine Tasting Dinner at Orto

Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways’ Wine Consultant\nSpecial Guest: Katie Grassini\, CEO/Owner \nThursday\, September 11\, 2025 at 7:00 PM\n$115 per person\, plus tax and gratuity \n The Patriarch of the Grassini family\, Articondo\, left Pisa in 1904 seeking new opportunities and a chance to “put down roots” in the US. Two generations later\, having acquired 100 acres nearly 15 years prior\, Articondo’s grandson Larry and his wife learned that the SB County wine industry was literally exploding so they had their acreage tested to see if grapes could do well. The answer is in the bottles of wine they now proudly produce having literally “put down roots” in Santa Ynez with the founding of Grassini Family Vineyards. Tonight\, we will enjoy 4 of their outstanding wines including the “Articondo”\, a Cabernet blend named for the man who had the vision and courage to cross the Atlantic in search of a better life. The wines will be paired with a delicious gourmet menu created by Orto’s owner Andrea Inio & his culinary team. Articondo’s great-granddaughter Katie (pictured above) will join Peter to talk about the wines\, the region and of course\, her family. All the featured wines will be available for ordering at very attractive prices (most of them are such small production they never make it to retail shops).

SUMMARY:Abadia Retuerta Winery Wine Tasting Dinner at Teleferic-Brentwood
DESCRIPTION:Abadia Retuerta’s history dates back to the 11th century when Christian Monks built the historic monastery & first planted vines on what would eventually become the Abadia estate. The 1980’s were a major turning point\, however\, as the last of the old vines were replaced with new\, sturdy root stock that would form the basis for their move into fine wine production. The current winery was built in 1996 and for the last 30 years\, they have focused on producing wines that have garnered acclaim throughout the wine world. Tonight\, after a lovely Cava Welcome Reception\, we will have the opportunity to taste three of Abadia’s outstanding wines perfectly paired with the unique and tasty cuisine of Chef Oscar and his culinary team. Sergio Sabater will join us to discuss the history of this boutique gem of a winery along with providing the inside scoop on what the future holds. All the wines will be available for ordering at very special prices so you can enjoy them at home and share with friends.

SUMMARY:Vampire Vineyards Wine Tasting Dinner at Fritto Misto\, Hermosa Beach
DESCRIPTION:Fritto Misto Hermosa Beach & Gourmet Wine Getaways\nProudly present \nA GOURMET WINE TASTING DINNER \nFeaturing the wines of \nVampire Vineyards (formerly of Transylvania)\n\nHost: Peter D. Kerr\, Gourmet Wine Getaways’ Wine Expert\nSpecial Guest: Michael Machat\, owner \nThursday\, March 5\, 2026 at 7:00 PM \n$89 pp plus tax & gratuity \nThis winery literally has roots in Transylvania! The first wines they made\, back in the early 90’s\, were from grapes sourced in Romania. In 2007\, they made a trans-oceanic leap and set up operations in California\, sourcing grapes from Napa Valley and Santa Barbara County (and a few from Italy). That geographic leap did not bring about a name change- Vampire remained on the front door. It sounds like the name of a wine you would serve only in late October\, but once you taste these wines\, you’ll understand that these are wines you will want to enjoy all year long. Tonight\, we will have the opportunity to enjoy four of their wines paired with the delicious Italian cuisine of Fritto Misto. Winery owner Michael Machat will join Peter to discuss the long and intriguing journey he has been on for the last 40 years. All the wines will be available for purchase at very attractive prices should you desire to add them to your collection or share them with your friends. In fact\, why not bring some friends along (or come alone and make some new wine-loving buddies). This is our first dinner of 2026 so let’s get the party started! \nMENU  \n Fried artichoke gnocchi with Fritto Misto’s special dipping sauce\n2023 Vampire “Dracula’s Daughter” Rose Prosecco  \n Salmon Checca over black linguini\, fresh side salad\n2024 Vampire Chardonnay \n Short Rib Ravioli in a caramelized onion sauce\n2023 Vampire Merlot \n Fritto Misto’s Tenderloin of Beef with mushroom caps\, served over sauteed spinach\n2023 Vampire Cabernet Sauvignon \nHouse-made Sweet ending \nGourmet Wine Getaways (GWG) strongly encourages guests to utilize Lyft\, Uber & other safe methods of transport in getting to and from wine events.
