Check out this episode of We Know Vino and hear highlights of the wines tasted at the Garagiste Festival in Solvang.  A "Garagiste" wine maker produces less than 2,000 cases a year of wine. (Fun Wine Fact: One barrel of wine makes 24 cases).  Many of these wines are not available for purchase outside of the label's wine club or tasting facility.  Find out which wines Mikey tasted that he is bringing into V Wine Room in West Hollywood for your tasting pleasure.  Here are a few of the wines Mikey tasted:

• Diablo Cellars - From Paso Robles and only work with Spanish varietals - Albariño & Tempranillo 
• Cavaletti - Chardonnay 
• Camins 2 Dreams - From winemaker Tara Gomez (women owned, BIPOC & LGBTQ) - Syrah & Grenache 
• Dusty Nabor - Grenache (Mikey’s eyes rolled in the back of his head) & Cabernet
• El Lugar - Pinot Noir Blanc
• MCV - Tannant
• Purple Dragon Cellars - 100% Roussanne (this is a rare find!)
• Quench & Temper - Graciano blends
• Seagrape - Gewürtraminer
• Seven Oxen Estate Wines

Here is the comprehensive list of winemakers who poured at the Solvang Garagiste event.
