Use discount code PATCH10 to get $10 off any tasting ticket!Imagine stepping into a room buzzing with over 30 CA micro-wineries, each offering a kaleidoscope of flavors—more than 150 wines from 25+ grape varieties in a single afternoon. The diversity is unmatched, pulling from nearly every California AVA, from Napa to San Diego&nbsp;and everywhere in between. It’s a treasure hunt for wine lovers who crave the unexpected, from Cabernet and Chardonnay to a quirky blend or a grape you’ve never heard of.
The festivals don’t just stop at variety—they prioritize access. Most garagiste wineries lack tasting rooms or broad distribution, making these events your exclusive ticket to their creations. Early access options like the “Rare and Reserve” tastings elevate the experience further, offering library wines, club-only releases, and barrel samples that even die-hard collectors covet. With limited ticket sales, the crowd stays manageable, ensuring you can savor each pour and chat with the winemakers without elbowing through a mob.
As with all Garagiste events, only the winemakers and/or owners (often the same person) will be pouring the wines. Come meet the artists who are making some of the most exciting and innovative wines in the world!

Building upon last week&rsquo;s stellar salute to the sixties...Robby Robinson is firing up his virtual time machine, once again, and teleporting us all back to the greatest decade in music history...the 1960s!
This week, Rockin&rsquo; Robby has assembled an extraordinary panel of guest stars, including musical genius, Vinny Martell, of the legendary &ldquo;Vanilla Fudge&rdquo;, Joey Dee, the undisputed Godfather of the dance craze known as &ldquo;The Twist&rdquo;, and prolific singer/songwriter, Billy Vera, (yes, the same guy who recorded the iconic song &ldquo;At This Moment&rdquo; which was featured on the 1980s hit NBC-TV show, &ldquo;Family Ties&rdquo;, for the duration of a major storyline starring Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton!) 
&ldquo;Last week's show was so much fun, and there was still so much left to talk about, so we're bringing the theme back for Part 2!&rdquo;, said Robby Robinson. &ldquo;This Monday, I've assembled an ALL-STAR PANEL of artists who didn't just witness the 60s...they helped create its soundtrack. We'll revisit the music, the memories, and the artists whose songs continue to touch our hearts more than sixty years later.&rdquo;
&#119817;&#119822;&#119812;&#119832; &#119811;&#119812;&#119812;
"The Godfather of the Twist" and leader of Joey Dee &amp; The Starliters, whose smash hit &#120395;&#119942;&#120421;&#119953;&#120410;&#119955;&#120418;&#119946;&#120419;&#119957;&#119931;&#120428;&#119946;&#120424;&#119957; became one of the defining records of the era. His legendary band became a virtual "School of Rock," featuring future members of The Rascals, Charles Neville, Ronnie Spector, Joe Pesci, and even a young Jimi Hendrix. The Beatles once opened for Joey before conquering America themselves!
&#119809;&#119816;&#119819;&#119819;&#119832; &#119829;&#119812;&#119825;&#119808;
Singer, songwriter, musician, author, actor, and one of music's great historians. Billy was writing and recording hits in the 60s and 70s before scoring one of the biggest songs of the 80s with &#119912;&#120425; &#120399;&#119945;&#120414;&#119956; &#119924;&#120420;&#119950;&#120410;&#119951;&#120425;, leading to nine appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Few people know popular music history better than Billy Vera.
&#119829;&#119816;&#119821;&#119821;&#119832; &#119820;&#119808;&#119825;&#119827;&#119812;&#119819;&#119819;
Founding guitarist of Vanilla Fudge, the groundbreaking band whose epic version of &#120404;&#119952;&#120426; &#120390;&#119942;&#120410;&#119953; &#119924;&#120410; &#120387;&#119938;&#120419;&#119944;&#120414;&#119951;' &#120394;&#119951; helped lay the foundation for hard rock and heavy metal. Vinny shared stages with Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane. In one of rock's great trivia questions, Led Zeppelin opened for Vanilla Fudge!
When it comes to genre-defying music...the 1960s had it all. 
This music hasn&rsquo;t aged a day...and never will. The music of the 1960s has transcended two millenniums, seven decades, time, space and multiple generations!
The door to the 1960s opened gently with 1950s-inspired holdover styles, such as rockabilly and doo-wop, evolved into Rock, Pop, Soul, Motown and R&amp;B, morphed into British Invasion, East and West Coast sounds, Bubblegum Pop, Folk-Rock, Protest songs, Country-Pop, Jazz-Rock and Hard Rock, and blew the door wide open, delving into Psychedelic Rock, Progressive Rock, and fledgling Heavy Metal sounds, while introducing the singer/songwriter concept, setting the stage for the 1970s and beyond.
The neighborly atmosphere of the era, as well as variety programs such as &ldquo;The Ed Sullivan Show&rdquo;, graciously allowed &ldquo;room&rdquo; for every imaginable genre of music. 
Multiple styles of music often topped the charts at the same time...making the 1960s one of the most volatile, spectacular, experimental and creative musical decades of all time.
The 1960s presented a rare era where a Classic Crooner, a Hard Rocker, a Country-Western star, an Opera diva, and a Jazz artist could all coexist in harmony side-by-side on the charts!
There was an unspoken respect and camaraderie between artists of differing style which needs to be re-ignited today!
The music of the 1960s remains the fabric of our lives till this day. Everywhere you go there is some relic of the 1960s still playing in the background.
Music of the 1960s was imaginative, explosive, creative and daring.
