Remember how few people knew about Santa Barbara County as a wine region before the movie Sideways catapulted the region into nearly every wine discussion? Well, here comes a wine region that has been under the radar for most wine enthusiasts but a few wineries are building the Valle de Guadalupe's reputation to a point where it can no longer be ignored. The region is home to a fair number of boutique wineries and tonight, you will have the pleasure and opportunity to meet the man behind the grapes and wine of Solar Fortun Winery, one of the best in the entire area!

Come join us as we meet and talk with Santiago Lopez, owner/winemaker (pictured above), as we enjoy 4 of his outstanding wines paired with the amazing Cuban-influenced cuisine of El Rincon Criollo. This little gem of a restaurant migrated from Culver City to Playa del Rey a couple of years ago. Once you enjoy a meal here, you will be back and tell every friend you have about their great food, excellent value and wonderful staff.
