Swank n’ Smith Winery, based in Paso Robles, is a relatively young winery but has garnered many accolades and awards for the wonderful hand-crafted, food-friendly wines they are producing. You may not be familiar with the winery as their distribution is very limited but once you taste these wines, you’ll want to add them to your collection. We will have the opportunity to taste 5 of these outstanding wines sourced from well- established vineyards in Paso Robles and Napa Valley, including three well-aged reds that are drinking beautifully now and will continue to do so for the next 5+ years. Best of all, each wine is perfectly paired with the authentic Italian cuisine from the culinary team of Fritto Misto-Santa Monica. Winemaker/owner Gregg Smith will be on-hand to talk about his wines and his winemaking philosophy. Attendance is limited to 30 guests so book early to ensure your seats.
