  • FWM Delmar Progcover Layout 1
    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.

  • Carol's Bunch NOVEMBER 2014
    Carol's Bunch NOVEMBER 2014 to our faithful ‘Bunch! We are so pleased to be finished with our crazy Happy Holidays... Crush season EARLY this year, so we can focus all the more on what we do best —making super delicious wines and getting them out the door to you! This year’s harvest was the earliest and most “compressed” one that Carol has ever seen in her 38 years of winemaking. It started with early budbreak back in March, probably a bit due to the extremely dry winter you have all heard about. Then bloom and crop-set all happened with very few hitches, and we had a nice long growing season with a very warm but not horribly HOT summer, a tiny shower in mid-September (when we already had half the grapes Lingenfelder Zin ready to harvest in!) followed by a beautiful Indian Summer which dried out the remaining vineyards and pushed everything thru to a nice ripe finish. Very tasty fruit, indeed, and a moderate crop size made for rich, concentrated flavors, just the way we like to taste ‘em! GET YOUR RED HOT NEWS! We have some extremely exciting NEWS to report!! We are now the owners of a beautiful Dry Creek vineyard, 22 acres with 16 planted to…not Zinfandel, but Chardonnay! We saw that as a rather major faux pas—the primary obligation of a grape in Dry Creek Valley is to be Zin, right? Or at least red?? However, visionary partner Mitch saw an opportunity to satisfy the need for a white partner wine to our wildly popular Wild Thing Zin.

  • Carol Shelton Wines Newjersey Presentation May2018
    The Story of Zinfandel in California, as told through the wines of Carol Shelton. Carol’s Story Begins… With a simple guessing game. Carol’s road to becoming a winemaker had a very early and unusual start. When she was six, her mom developed an “identify the scent” game using herbs and spices out of their kitchen cabinet. It quickly became apparent that Carol not only possessed a great sense of smell, but she was remarkably adept at figuring out the new smells as the game evolved. As Carol recalls, “it was probably the beginning of my path into the wine industry”. A Pioneer in the Wine Industry Carol was one of the first dozen women to graduate from UC Davis in 1978. In 2005 Carol was honored by The Women’s History Project as one of eight Pioneer Women Winemakers of Sonoma County along with Zelma Long, Merry Edwards, and Helen Turley. Great Vineyards produce Great Wines Carol started Carol Shelton Wines in 2000 with her husband, Mitch Mackenzie. They have sought out exceptional vineyards throughout California including Mendocino, Rockpile, Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Lodi, the Sierra Foothills and the Cucamonga Valley of Southern California. Many of her vineyard sources are organically/sustainably grown and many decades old. She develops close partnerships with each grower to ensure her wines express the unique terroir of each vineyard and are consistently at their best in flavor and quality.
