The "New California"
FREE tasting on Thursday, September 18th
5:30-7:30pm
RSVP Today!
The sea of plush, high-octane and high-alcohol Cabernets that dominated the California landscape has begun to recede.
In its place, a fairly quiet but sweeping change is taking place.
It’s safe to say that a new crop of winemakers have turned California into one of the most exciting and fascinating things happening in wine.
We'll be pouring 14 of our favorite wines representing the "New California" - winemakers who are working in a structured, well-balanced and low alcohol style.

Please join us on Thursday, September 18th to taste through a range of New California selections.
In the "New California," Chardonnay, Cabernet and Pinot are only a chapter in the story. Albarino, St. Laurent, Vermentino and Italian-inspired red blends are suddenly front page news.
Please see below for a full list, but just to mention a few of the wines: There's the nervy and agile Sandhi Santa Rita Chardonnay and the mineral Ryme Vermentino. On the red side there's Bedrock's very gulpable Grenache Gris and Enfield's Syrah.
Yes - it's free! - but we're asking everyone to RSVP to events@crushwineco.com. Please let us know how many people will be in your party.
See you Thursday!
