Not that there aren’t wine events all year, but the events in the Summer seem to be a lot more fun. Maybe it’s that we take an extra day, and make a three day weekend of it sometimes.
In any case, June is almost on us, and here are the first two events, in the Santa Cruz and Monterey regions:
Roots That Rock – Santa Cruz Mountains Winery Association, June 1-2 and June 8-9. Event goes from 12 – 5pm each day. The first weekend features wineries on the east side of the mountains, while the second weekend features wineries on the west side of the mountains.
Monterey Wine Festival – Friday June 7th 4 – 8pm, and Saturday June 8th 11am – 4pm. Saturday also features a chowder competition.
Lori and I are definitely going to the Monterey Wine Festival; might wind up in Santa Cruz at some point. Hope to see you at one of these, or another wine event this Summer.
