US: Small-Winery Event Sells Out
Dec 3, 2012 6
(Wines&Vines) - An informal alliance of garagiste winemakers (self-defined as producing 1,200 or fewer cases per year) celebrated its second annual Garagiste Festival in mid-November. As a measure of its success, attendance surpassed 1,000 and all events were sold out. Bringing attention to the “garagiste movement” and supporting the Wine & Viticulture program at nearby California Polytechnic University are the goals. Stewart McLennan and Doug Minnick, founders of the Garagiste Festival, were relieved but exhausted when they spoke with Wines & Vines last week.
