This is always an exciting tasting at Ft. Mason and this year should be no exception. This is one of the few times of the year where you can find local small producers that are doing exciting things all under one roof.
This year their website has prepared an interesting search tool, both for the tasting public, and the winemakers themselves to see who is going to be featuring each particular grape variety. If you're interested in red grapes like Aglianico, Lagrein, Negrette, Bastardo, Counoise, Tannat and Tinta Cao, and unusual whites like Albarino, Picpoul Blanc, Torrontes and Vermentino you can see which tables to visit. I would highly recommend checking out some of these out-of-the-ordinary on their site and making a plan to visit those tables. Click on the "other whites" and "other reds" boxes to get a listing.
See you Sunday, August 23rd in San Francisco! Public tasting is 3 to 6 p.m.
The 19th Annual Family Winemakers of California Tasting will be held at the Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco.
