What an incredible event today!

Thank you for participating in and attending the Santa Barbara Women Winemakers and Culinarians Grand Tasting at 27 Vines!

I made Italian Roast Beef Sliders for 300 and they were all gone within 90 minutes! I saw you come back for seconds and thirds, don’t deny it! 😉

Glad you enjoyed and sorry to those who were not able to taste, but it allowed me to enjoy the event as a guest for an hour!

I’ll make more next year, I promise!

I donate 100% of my food and time to this amazing cause and have for many years. I so appreciate the support of this Valley, this community and my Vega Vineyard and Farm family (for covering for me today, drinks on me!) 🙃
