The next Blender of the North County Young Professionals will be held from 5-7 p.m. at California Fruit Wine, located at 1040 Mirada Court in Vista. This is a 21-and-over event.
According to its website, California Fruit Wine, was started two years ago by 25-year-old twin brothers, Alan and Brian Haghighi, who had their grand opening at their new space last November.
“When you open 10 or 20 bottles in a night, you start recognizing the unnecessary quantity of waste,” notes Alan, the head winemaker and director of on-site operations. “We’ve been eager to keg our wine for a while now, so this is an exciting moment for us.“
While most people don’t associate kegs with wine, the option has been around for years. Most wineries shy away from bulk packaging for fear that it cheapens the image of their wine. These brothers though, welcome the opportunity to be wine innovators .
“We already have to deal with people’s misconceptions about fruit wine, that it is cheap and somehow substandard. The new tap system is just another way for people to discover how winemaking and serving is evolving and we want to be at the forefront of breaking wine stereotypes .” notes Brian, co-founder and VP of marketing.
NYCP Blenders are networking event geared for professionals ages 21-39. It is open to members of the Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos and Vista chambers of commerce.
The cost is $5 cash at the door for members, or $15 for prospective members.
