On Sunday, March 11, at the Del Mar Fairground’s Exhibit Hall, Family Winemakers of California presents Tasting 2012, a comprehensive tasting of wines from California’s small, family-owned wineries. This year’s event features wines from more than 150 wineries in California, all belonging to the association, notes Paul Kronenberg, president of Family Winemakers of California. “Our guests will have the difficult task of choosing from over 800 wines, which will include 30 or more grape varietals coming from most of the state’s appellations,” adds Kronenberg. Tickets purchased before March 10 are $55 each; day-of tickets are $65. (www.familywinemakers.org) JANE SHIOMI
