On June 23, we were privileged to attend a tasting of Virginia Wines at Siduri Wines in Santa Rosa. We’ll review the wines and wineries in depth in several future posts. But today we wanted to give you some idea of who was there. We’ve created a pdf version of the tasting sheet for those who can’t wait: Virginia Wine Tasting Sheet. Images are below for those who are even more impatient. (Click the images for larger versions.)

Tony Lima has been a wine fan since arriving in California from the east coast in 1974. He's lived the growth and expansion of the industry first hand. He's seen the fickle California Wine consumer fads pop up and burst... the craze for Zinfandel, then oaky Chardonnay, then Merlot, now Pinot Noir. His day job was Professor of Economics at California State University located in Hayward. He retired in 2016 to pursue full-time blogging. His undergrad degree in chemical engineering (MIT) and his MBA ( Harvard) and Ph.D. Economics (Stanford) are the root of his interest in the Business of Wine. He is a card-carrying member of the AAWE - Association of American Wine Economists.
