Winemaking

Who would have guessed that a kid from Amherst, MA, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Sciences (Pre-Veterinary) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Italian from the University of Massachusetts, would end up in Santa Barbara County as an up-and-coming winemaker?

Attend our next meeting to learn the story of Benjamin Silver and the founding of Silver Wines. As an added incentive, Benjamin will be bringing wine for us to sample.

March in Santa Barbara reminds us why we love calling this place home. The hills are vibrant from the winter rains, the ocean breeze carries the first signs of spring, and the days are stretching just enough to enjoy a little more time outside. Whether it’s a sunset at Butterfly Beach or the scent of citrus blossoms in the air, this is the season to soak it all in.
 
If sunshine and good wine sound like the perfect pair, our next meeting on Tuesday, March 18th, will be one to enjoy. Benjamin Silver of Silver Wines will be joining us to share his passion for winemaking. We hope to see you there.
