Wine Tasting Event Featuring Marrissa from Jaffurs

When: Tue Feb 11, 2025 at 06:00 PM to Tue Feb 11, 2025 at 08:00 PM
Where: The Good Land Wine Shop & Bar 4177 State St, Santa Barbara, CA  93110, United States
Why:

Come to the shop this Tuesday February 11th, and meet Marrissa
Schoonover from Jaffurs Wine Cellars.  Marrissa started with Jaffurs in
2018 after graduating from UC Irvine with a degree in Biological
Anthropology, and her inquisitive mind and eagerness to get her hands
dirty led to her becoming increasingly more involved in the winemaking
process.  She was named Cellar Master after a couple short years, then
Assistant Winemaker, and now Head Winemaker.  These wines are amazing
and scream Santa Barbara terroir people!  Come by and meet Marrissa,
taste some wines, have some local cheese, and listen to the musical
sounds of Gary Heck...the Good Land provides.
