The LCROC Wine Tasting Night was a smashing success to kick off the new year.  2025 marks the 39th year of our chapter.  The event on Saturday, January 11, 2025 included samples of wine by Liberty Cellars, a presentation and guide to wine by Nick Gardner, and heavy hors d'oeuvres, such as scratch-made pizzas, salads, bacon wrapped dates, and Brussels sprouts. 

About Liberty Cellars: "Liberty is a boutique winery making small-lot wines exclusively from our estate fruit.  Our 20-acre hillside vineyard is set in the oak-dotted hills of Paso Robles and was originally planted in 2000.  Owner Nick Gardner's interest in wine and the central coast began over two decades ago during visits to Paso Robles for the Wildflower triathlons."   

Membership in LCROC is an excellent way to meet others, participate in political activities, and join together with allies.  We welcome guests, whether with a member or as a visitor interested in discovering more about LCROC.  One of the greatest ways to contribute as a member is to refer friends and arrive early to greet visitors.

About Matter of Craft: "Matter of Craft is a Huntington Beach family-owned bottle shop, tap room, and scratch kitchen."  We appreciate the wonderful space, impressive service, and delicious food. 

Thank you to Jerry Benzl, John Brashear, Dave Largo, and Christine Maimone for helping to sponsor the event.  The ongoing and continued support is much appreciated.

The LCROC membership continues to demonstrate outstanding support and participation.  Each member has talents and skills that are essential to keep our organization strong and healthy.  Members can be of assistance by inviting friends and allies to our events, as well as sharing our event information on social media.
