Welcome to The Wine Club, a Pasadena-and-beyond group that encourages lovers of the grape (and those who want to be) to explore the wide world of wine through local tastings, wine-and-food events, winery visits and private parties. While many members of this group are true connoisseurs, this is NOT a high-society, button-down, hushed-tones collection of snooty people to sniff and swirl with. Rather, it's a club for everyone who wants to enjoy good wine, learn more about the art and science of ta …

Come explore the delicious, relatively unknown world of African American-made wines.  Among the 6,000 plus winemakers in the US today, only about 22 are black Americans.  Most of these wineries are small, family-owned enterprises that might fly under your radar, and that's too bad, because some have been winning awards and nods from the likes of Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate for a while now. Many of these wineries are so small they don't even have tasting rooms, but you can taste them at Wine …

We've all been there...you drank Red Rose in college. Your palette then matured to White Zin by your first dinner meeting. Well, it's time to discover the sommelier inside you.
