Savor announces topics for seminars 

SAVOR the Central Coast– Sunset Savor the Central Coast recently announced its new lineup of “Winemaker Central” seminars, featured during the Main Event held at the historic Santa Margarita Ranch from Sept. 26-27.

“Presenting during Winemaker Central seminars at Sunset Savor the Central Coast each year is one of my favorite opportunities to interact with wine enthusiasts on a more intimate level,” said Sunset Magazine Wine Editor Sara Schneider. “Through discussions of the many facets of wine, we are able to create an experience that allows wine lovers the chance to learn about and taste the wines that they often only read about.”

Sunset Savor the Central Coast allows vinophiles the chance to expand their wine knowledge through small-group tastings not often found at large-scale wine tasting events. These 45-minute educational seminars are designed to educate and inform by providing an in-depth look into the latest and greatest trends in wine, offering tasting tips and exploring unique varietals.

Winemaker Central features several new themed sessions, including:

Meet the Syrahs – Often misunderstood and ignored, syrah has yet to enjoy its day in the sun. The Central Coast is producing a range of styles form lean and earthy, in cool parts of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, to more richly fruited, in warmer Paso Robles. Saturday, Sept. 26

This is an opportunity to join the Central Coast’s most esteemed producers as they discuss the character and complexities of Chardonnay that are distinctive to Coastal San Luis Obispo.
