For John Terlato, wine is never merely a business — it is his life’s work and passion, shaped by family, friendships, great vineyards, and a driving curiosity focused on the greatest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards of the world.
In this intimate, highly interactive tasting, join John as he connects the dots between his family's life in wine from Burgundy’s Côte d’Or to Santa Barbara’s Sta. Rita Hills and much more in between. Here is your opportunity to ask the questions you always wanted to ask, hear the honest answers and the stories behind the wine families who befriended the Terlato family over their 80 years in the wine business. Learn about the wines, vineyards and individuals who influenced John on his journey, including his friendship with Trey Fletcher (Sanford winemaker) and the defining moments that shaped his views on what it takes to go from “good” to “extraordinary” as a winery owner.
Taste eight exceptional wines - four Burgundies, two Sanford single vineyards, and two Joint Venture wines grown with a renowned winemaker and friend from Burgundy – and hear firsthand how place, patience and precision give each vineyard its identity, and how a lifetime of friendships and curiosity helped shape the Sanford Winery & Vineyards renaissance. Guaranteed this will not be your typical wine tasting.
