On Saturday we had the great privilege to join our old friend Rich and his wife Melinda for a private tasting at the new location for their winery, Stage Left Cellars. They moved it from Paso Robles to Oakland, about 2 miles away from Centrro's offices. I used to work with Rich at Experian and knew him to be a great wine connoisseur and it was only natural that he start making wine. We're happy to welcome him and Melinda to Oakland and wish them nothing but success. By the way, his 2005 Viognier (white) and 2005 The Breadwinner (red blend) were both amazing. They begin selling in April!
