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! Bruce Lundquist Chair, Family Winemakers of California Rb Wine Associates 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.
