Off the West Coast, West Coast Sonoma vintners are sailing to the East coast for New York City West of West Wine Festival on February 26, 2013 at City Winery.

The afternoon Trade and Media session will be followed by a General Public (not the band) tasting starting at 6 pm.

Price per person is $100

25 Sonoma Coast Vintners will strut their stuff for the public.

Book your seat to General Public evening session via City Winery, the host.

If nothing gets in the way, I am planning to attend afternoon session.
