Virtual Wine Tastings

Online

Event Information

The objective of our virtual wine tasting evenings will be simple: For instance, you visit the beautiful estate winery of Minassian-Young in Paso Robles and happen to arrive at the exact time as the intriguing proprietors and winemakers, Amparo and David. The couple converse with us about their stunning wines and actually guide us through a tasting of their featured wine – Black St. Peter. Our Virtual Wine Tastings are dedicated to the principle that without knowledge and in this special case -- knowledge directly from the wine creators -- the appreciation of wine… or art or music (for that matter) usually ends up as a superficial or shallow encounter. And that’s not what we are about, and that is not why you chose to be a part of our community.

The wines

Minassian Young Vineyards - Black St. Peter

This zinfandel based blend will open your eyes to what a "blend" is all about. While 45% zinfandel, it combines with other lesser known varietals - tannat, carignan, cinsault, mouvedre and petite syrah - to bring a full-bodied, flavorful, textured wine to your palate. This is how the wine maker earns her and his keep - by creating something incredibly special out of grapes previously known for their blending role!

The Purpose of Virtual Tasting

We drink water, soda pop, and milk... we experience wine. Who better than the winemaker to make this happen for you? We don't just hear music... we listen. We don't just look at art... we see it. We don't simply drink wine... we taste, we experience. Virtual Wine Tasting provides us the opportunity to listen, see, taste and experience!

Virtually Exciting!

We're sorry you missed the live presentation, but we have the recorded video up for you to view anytime. We'll be having another tasting soon, so stand by to grab a bottle or three of a great, limited production, estate wine at an unbelievable price, and join us for an intimate tasting!

Meet David and Amparo Young in this short video - they were the featured wine makers at this first of its kind event and you'll love them!

Our first special offering also gives us a chance to spotlight an intriguing winemaking pair, Amparo and David Young. Their divergent backgrounds have merged into one of the most innovative wine making teams anywhere. If you've tasted the first wine we'll be showcasing during the Virtual Wine Tasting, you'll know what we are talking about.

You'll meet them both -- yet from the comfort of your living room, office, study or wherever you log on to the Virtual Wine Tasting. Be sure to watch the short video introducing them and Minassian-Young Vineyards. You can even send us questions in advance you'd like them to address. Or, if all goes well, send questions during the session.
