10. Brutocao Cellars Wine Tasting with Steve Brutocao

The Buzz -- Join us July 22, at 7 pm for a taste of Brutocao Cellars with Steve Brutocao! Brutocao Cellars’ roots go back three generations to a Venice, Italy dinner table. The Brutocao family came to the New World and married into the Bliss family of farmers. It was only natural that they combine their passions and become grape growers and winemakers. Grandfather Irv Bliss purchased 400 acres of vineyards in southern Mendocino County in 1943. The Brutocao family released their first wine with the 1980 vintage. Today, the family still blends their Italian heritage with their rural agricultural lifestyle to make some of California's finest wines. The Brutocao family tradition of serving wine at the table means wines are produced with good food and good friends in mind. The wines will be paired with food and a portion of the $8 fee is donated to The Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.
