Great Wine A Family Tradition
Family Winemakers Tasting
San Diego Del Mar Fairgrounds Wyland Center
MARCH 20, 2016 Welcome to the Family Winemakers of California’s Tasting at Del Mar!
This tasting marks the return of Family Winemakers to the San Diego area and we’re pleased to be back. Our signature trade and consumer tasting was last held at Del Mar in 2103. We’ve been doing tastings for 26 years and it’s a “family tradition.” The recession changed the way wine is marketed, but the simple fact is that people have to taste the wine to appreciate it and then buy it. This tasting is a unique chance to discover wines from a diverse group of close to 90 California wineries that are really focused on the Southern California market. Twenty wineries will be pouring for the first time at our event. FWC is the political and policy voice for small family-owned wineries. We lobbied drink taxes, water issues, fees, warning labels, social media, labor issues and farming regulations this past year at the State Capitol and regulatory agencies. Continuing Pierce’s Disease and Red Blotch research remain a top of our members. We also started our 2nd year in boosting wine education and sales in China. Consumers enjoy greater choice in California wines across the U.S. because of our advocacy; just ask consumers in South Dakota, the newest open state. Artistry and passion are the hallmark of FWC wineries at these events and I’m sure you’ll taste it in your glass. Wonderful sponsors and vendors make this event a reality with their financial support and participation. We appreciate and thank them! Our heartiest thanks are to you, our customers.
Cheers, and enjoy the wines!

Family Winemakers Mission Our association advocates the rights and interests of its members to freely produce, market, and sell their products and is dedicated to preserving the broad diversity of California wine. Inside the Program
The program is designed to help you navigate and enjoy a large tasting. We’ve put the Varietal Map upfront listing all the varieties by winery so it’s handy. Each winery entry has all the information you’ll need to contact them to order wine or find out more about the wines you taste.
Take advantage of this tasting to order wines you discover. Wineries will take an order to be filled by the winery after the tasting.
Program Key NEW identifies wineries that are pouring for the first time at an FWC Tasting. Range is the retail pricing per bottle of the wines being poured at the tasting.
The program was printed several weeks before the tasting and does not include any late cancellations or additions. We apologize for any inconsistencies.
Inside Wyland Center
Where to begin? Because the wineries at this tasting come from many diferent winegrowing areas in California, and pour multiple varietals, we’ve chosen to organize them alphabetically starting on right side of the room with the letter K.
1 Family Winemakers of California extends its thanks to our sponsors for their support. We encourage you to support them with your business.

30 Family Winemakers . . .fighting for small, family-owned wineries
Small, family-owned wine producers across the state are the foundation of Family Winemakers of California. Formed in 1990 to lobby for the rights of its members to freely produce, market and sell their products, we currently represent over 350 producers.
Direct-to-consumer sales blossomed after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Granholm v. Heald. Now consumers in 43 states have a broader choice in wine. . .and it’s because FWC provided key funding and steered the litigation battle.
FWC has worked to keep taxes and fees on wine from rising, created new wine sales opportunities like farmers markets and event permits, stopped vine-killing pests, pushed for smart water rules, fought misguided labeling, and lobbied to keep state alcohol law up-to-date on the use of technology.
Our legislative and regulatory work is augmented by the tastings we organize for our members to help them succeed in a highly competitive marketplace. This is our 26th year hosting events in the state.
FWC’s first tasting was held in 1991 in San Francisco and any of our members pour at our Bay Area tasting, as well as in Southern California. The wineries at these tastings are dedicated to producing the finest wines they can. You’ll taste their passion captured in each bottle.
Family Winemakers ... Taste California!
San Francisco here we come! Over 125 wineries pouring great wine from across California at Pier 27 in San Francisco - our 26th Annual Tasting! August 21, 2016 (Trade and Public) Information, ticket sales and the trade registration form will be at: www.familywinemakers.org in June.
