Wine Tasting Event Featuring Will Henry of Lumen Wines
When: Tue Mar 4, 2025 at 06:00 PM to Tue Mar 4, 2025 at 08:00 PM
Where: The Good Land Wine Shop & Bar 4177 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93110, United States
Why:
Will Henry wears a lot of hats (Either that or he just has problems focusing.) First he worked for The Henry Wine Group, his family’s wine distribution company, while simultaneously working as a journalist, photographer, and founder of the non-profit Save The Waves Coalition. Now Will manages Lumen's farming, while also making wines alongside Lane Tanner (the O.G. local female winemaker). These wines are really fantastic: from orange Pinot Gris, to Chardonnay blended with Ginger, to killer Pinot Noirs! So drop by and meet Will, taste some amazing wines, have some locally made cheese, and listen to the groovy music played by Gary Heck.
RSVP to do...@goodlandwineshop.com to save your spot. $25

8 of the Funniest Wine Reviews on Vivino
Founded in 2010, Vivino is an app where wine lovers can catalog and rate their favorite — and not-so-favorite — bottles. In its decade and a half of existence, the online hub has accumulated millions of wine reviews, with users sharing their own personal opinions on just about every bottle available on the market. While many of the reviews are useful for shoppers browsing store shelves or restaurant lists, others can get a bit… unhinged. Some users treat the platform as a chance to share personal stories, while others use it to test out their poetry chops.
