Taste the Mountains:SCM Vintner’s Festival
This Vintner’s Festival is two weekends long, and I was so wrapped up in my own issues, the first one smacked me in the back of the head. We were super busy filling glasses, and everyone seemed to have a great time, so don’t be shy–join in.
Split up to cover the eastern side of the mountains last weekend and the western side this coming Saturday and Sunday, here’s the explanation from the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association:
