Inside Wine SB Wine Tasting with Doug Margerum

Join Inside Wine Santa Barbara on Thursday, Dec. 14th for a wine tasting with legendary Doug Margerum. He has been a central figure in the Santa Barbara food and wine scene for over 35 years. Upon graduating from the UC Santa Barbara in 1981, his family purchased the Wine Cask restaurant which was renown for its wine list. In 1994 it was one of only 74 restaurants in the world to earn the Wine Spectator Grand Award. Doug sold the WINE CASK in 2007.

Doug launched the Santa Barbara WINE CASK Futures Program in 1984, which elevated the exposure nationally of Santa Barbara Wine Country. From 1986 to 1998, Doug owned VITA NOVA winery with Bob Lindquist (Qupé) and Jim Clendenen (Au Bon Climat). In 2001, Margerum Wine Company began in a tiny 240 square foot cold room behind Brander Vineyards, producing limited quantities of wines sourced from both their estate vineyard and grapes purchased from other top vineyards of Santa Barbara County. The downtown Margerum tasting room was recently named “Best Urban Tasting Room” in the Independent’s “Best of Santa Barbara® 2023” poll of readers’ opinions.

5 Margerum wines will be tasted, paired with delicious appetizers. Please see Inside Wine SB’s Meetup page for details. No tickets at the door. RSVP essential, only 35 total attendees: www.meetup.com/inside-wine-santa-barbara
