Announcement from Group Organizer

Message from Group Organizer

The beautiful Sierra Foothills area of Northern CA is the living legacy of those who struck it rich - or more likely didn't- in the Gold Rush of 1849. As the rush subsided, the European settlers put their wine making skills to good use and founded some of he oldest vineyards in the US! 

Join us as we discuss AVAs centered in and around Amador and El Dorado counties plus more hidden gems!

Join us for a VIRTUAL Webinar where you'll learn about the terroir, history and flavors of these delicious CA wines that many are not familiar with!

SIP ALONG with us! Try any Zinfandel from Sobon Estate, Amador County.

Let's face it, French red wines can get confusing! And what's with the labels? How do I know what grape is inside? Well, Sip Happens, Drink Wine will take you to the Bordeaux region and help you understand the ins and outs of some of the world's most famous red wines.

So grab your beret, say "oui". We're happy to have you on Bordeaux!

SIP ALONG with us! Why not grab a bottle of any red Bordeaux and some snacks. (They say: the food feeds your belly and the wine feeds your soul!)

We suggest pairing it with: pulled pork sliders, Asian food, Thai food, or anything wrapped in bacon!

For our Vegetarian friends, give it a go with some roasted portobello mushrooms.

Join "Sip Happens, Drink Wine" as we are joined LIVE by our friends at the World Famous "Barolo Brothers" Winery, Ceretto, in the heart of the Piedmont Region of Italy! 

Voted Best Vineyard of 2020, they will discuss the beautiful white grape, Arneis, with us, as we continue to: Meet Some Old World White Wines You Are Missing Out On! 

We visit Italy, Spain and France for some interesting varietals that are great for summer! 

*SIP ALONG WITH US! If you want to pick up a Bottle, we are drinking either Falanghia or Arneis (see photo) And for a pairing cheese and/or charcuterie plate we'd recommend Parmigiano Reggiano, antipasto like prosciutto and other cured meats and nuts like hazelnuts or almonds.
