Carp Wine Co

Nikki Fisher at Carpinteria Wine Co. (4193-1 Carpinteria Ave., 684-7440) so enjoys her job that she can make you feel a bit buzzed even before you imbibe-she’s both bright and bubbly. What’s more, she throws terrific tastings, with the next happening Saturday, July 14, at 2 p.m. (no reservations, $15 at the door). Fisher promises tastings of more than 60 wines and even a few up-and-coming winemakers on hand. Want to know more about $10-$30 wines that drink for double their price? Then this is the event for you.
