My first introduction to California Wine was during a trip to visit my cousin in the late 1980's. I stopped at Mirassou Winery before heading to Napa and Sonoma. A member of Mirassou staff spent a great deal of time explaining grape varietals, how wine was produced and took me on a personal tour of the grounds. I purchased a couple of bottles of wine to share with my cousin and to bring back with me to the East Coast (Mirassou was primarily available on the West Coast of the United States at that time). I don't remember the person's name, but that information has proved useful over the years. Thank you Mirassou Winery!
